In this article, we use two different approaches -- one algebraic and the other analytic -- to study the variation of Iwasawa invariants of rational elliptic curves in some quadratic twist families. The analytic approach involves a thorough…
Let $F$ be a number field unramified at an odd prime $p$ and $F_\infty$ be the $\mathbf{Z}_p$-cyclotomic extension of $F$. Generalizing Kobayashi plus/minus Selmer groups for elliptic curves, B\"uy\"ukboduk and Lei have defined modified…
We study the Selmer group associated to a $p$-ordinary newform $f \in S_{2r}(\Gamma_0(N))$ over the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field $K/\mathbb{Q}$. Under certain assumptions, we prove that this Selmer…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with good supersingular reduction at a prime $p\geq 3$ and $a_p=0$. We generalise the definition of Kobayashi's plus/minus Selmer groups over $\mathbb{Q}(\mu_{p^\infty})$ to $p$-adic Lie…
We study the average behaviour of the Iwasawa invariants for Selmer groups of elliptic curves. These results lie at the intersection of arithmetic statistics and Iwasawa theory. We obtain unconditional lower bounds for the density of…
In this paper, we consider the question of the complete faithfulness of the $p$-free quotient module of the dual Selmer groups of elliptic curves defined over a noncommutative $p$-adic Lie extension. Our question will refine previous…
Let $p$ be a fixed odd prime number, $\mu$ be a Hida family over the Iwasawa algebra of one variable, $\rho_{\mu}$ its Galois representation, $\mathbb{Q}_\infty/\mathbb{Q}$ the $p$-cyclotomic tower and $S$ the variable of the cyclotomic…
We study this subject by first proving that the p-primary subgroup of the classical Selmer group for an elliptic curve with good, ordinary reduction at a prime p has a very simple and elegant description which involves just the Galois…
In this article, we provide a relation between the $\mu$-invariants of the dual plus and minus Selmer groups for supersingular elliptic curves when we ascend from the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension to a $\mathbb{Z}_p^2$-extension over…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $K$ an imaginary quadratic field where $p$ splits. Under appropriate hypotheses, Bertolini showed that the Selmer group of a $p$-ordinary elliptic curve over the anticyclotomic $\mathbb Z_p$-extension of $K$ does…
The main conjectures in Iwasawa theory predict the relationship between the Iwasawa modules and the $p$-adic $L$-functions. Using a certain proved formulation of the main conjecture, Greither and Kurihara described explicitly the (initial)…
The $p^\infty$-fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve $E$ over a global field is a subgroup of the classical $p^\infty$-Selmer group. Coates and Sujatha discovered that the structure of the fine Selmer group of $E$ over certain $p$-adic Lie…
Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that E is a modular elliptic curve/Q with good ordinary reduction at p. Let Q_{oo} denote the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of Q. It is conjectured that Sel_E(Q_{oo}) is a cotorsion Lambda-module and that its…
We investigate a question of Burns and Sano concerning the structure of the module of Euler systems for a general $p$-adic representation. Assuming the weak Leopoldt conjecture, and the vanishing of $\mu$-invariants of natural Iwasawa…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime. We construct modular Galois representations for which the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of the $p$-primary Selmer group (i.e., $\lambda$-invariant) over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension is large. More precisely, for…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a global function field $K$ of characteristic $p$. We study the $\mu$-invariant appearing in the Iwasawa theory of $A$ over the unramified $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$. Ulmer suggests that this…
We improve upon the recent keystone result of Dasgupta-Kakde on the $\Bbb Z[G(H/F)]^-$-Fitting ideals of certain Selmer modules $Sel_S^T(H)^-$ associated to an abelian, CM extension $H/F$ of a totally real number field $F$ and use this to…
We formulate integral Iwasawa main conjectures for suitable twists of a newform $f$ that is non-ordinary at $p$, over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension, the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions (in both the definite and the…
In this paper, we study completely faithful torsion $\mathbb{Z}_p[[G]]$-modules with applications to the study of Selmer groups. Namely, if $G$ is a nonabelian group belonging to certain classes of polycyclic pro-$p$ group, we establish the…
In this paper, we compare the structure of Selmer groups of certain classes of Galois representations over an admissible $p$-adic Lie extension. Namely, we show that the $\pi$-primary submodules of the Pontryagin dual of the Selmer groups…
