Abstract

Let E/FE/F be an elliptic curve defined over a number field FF with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field KK such that the torsion points of EE generate over FF an abelian extension of KK. In this paper we prove the pp-part of the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer formula for E/FE/F in analytic rank 11 for primes p>3p>3 split in KK. This was previously known for F=QF=\mathbb{Q} by work of Rubin as a consequence of his proof of Mazur's Main Conjecture for rational CM elliptic curves, but the problem for [F:Q]>1[F:\mathbb{Q}]>1 remained wide open. The approach introduced in this paper also yields a proof of similar results for CM abelian varieties A/KA/K and for CM modular forms, as well as an analogue in this setting of Skinner's pp-converse to the theorem of Gross--Zagier and Kolyvagin.

Moved application to higher weight CM p-converse to a new appendix (joint with Mychelle Parker). Final version to appear in Proc. Lond. Math. Soc
