Selmer varieties for curves with CM Jacobians

Abstract

We study the Selmer variety associated to a canonical quotient of the \Qp\Q_p-pro-unipotent fundamental group of a smooth projective curve of genus at least two defined over \Q\Q whose Jacobian decomposes into a product of abelian varieties with complex multiplication. Elementary multi-variable Iwasawa theory is used to prove dimension bounds, which, in turn, lead to a new proof of Diophantine finiteness over \Q\Q for such curves.
