Abstract

We introduce a pp-adic LL-function LA/L\mathscr L_{A/L} associated to an ordinary elliptic curve AA over a global function field KK of characteristic pp together with a Zpd\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}-extension L/KL/K, d=0d=0 allowed, unramified outside a finite set of places where AA has ordinary (good ordinary or multiplicative) reductions. This LA/L\mathscr L_{A/L} is characterized by its interpolation of the special values of twisted Hasse-Weil LL-functions, we show that it satisfies the desired functional equation and specialization formula in connection with the characteristic ideal of the dual pp^\infty-Selmer group of A/LA/L. The Iwasawa main conjecture having LA/L\mathscr{L}_{A / L} as the analytic side is proven in several cases. In the d3d\geq 3 case, %and A/KA/K has semi-stable reductions everywhere, the conjecture holds for A/LA/L if and only if it holds for all intermediate Zp2\Z_p^2-extensions A/LA/L' belonging to a given non-empty Zariski open subset of the Grassmannian Gr(d2,d)(Zp)\mathrm{Gr}(d-2,d)(\Z_p).
