Abstract

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve, pp a prime and K/KK_{\infty}/K the anticyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension of a quadratic imaginary field KK satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In this paper we give a new proof to a theorem of Bertolini which determines the value of the Λ\Lambda-corank of Sel(E/K)\text{Sel}(E/K_{\infty}) in the case where EE has ordinary reduction at pp. In the case where EE has supersingular reduction at pp we make a conjecture about the structure of the module of Heegner points mod pp. Assuming this conjecture we give a new proof to a theorem of Ciperiani which determines the value of the Λ\Lambda-corank of Sel(E/K)\text{Sel}(E/K_{\infty}) in the case where EE has supersingular reduction at pp.
