We study the prime number race for elliptic curves over the function field of a proper, smooth and geometrically connected curve over a finite field. This constitutes a function field analogue of prior work by Mazur, Sarnak and the second…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with good ordinary reduction at $p$. We study the Iwasawa theory of $E$ over the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$…

If F is a global function field of characteristic p>3, we employ Tate's theory of analytic uniformization to give an alternative proof of a theorem of Igusa describing the image of the natural Galois representation on torsion points of…

For any number field K with a complex place, we present an infinite family of elliptic curves defined over K such that $dim \mathbb{F}_2 Sel_2(E^F/K) \ge dim \mathbb{F}_2 E^F(K)[2] + r_2$ for every quadratic twist E^F of every curve E in…

We establish several results towards the two-variable main conjecture of Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves without complex multiplication over imaginary quadratic fields, namely (i) the existence of an appropriate p-adic L-function,…

We investigate the structure of the higher Chow groups $CH^2(E,1)$ for an elliptic curve $E$ over a global function field $F$. Focusing on the kernel $V(E)$ of the push-forward map $CH^2(E,1)\to F^{\times}$ associated to the structure map…

At a prime of ordinary reduction, the Iwasawa ``main conjecture'' for elliptic curves relates a Selmer group to a $p$-adic $L$-function. In the supersingular case, the statement of the main conjecture is more complicated as neither the…

We consider $\mathbb{Z}_p^{\mathbb{N}}$-extensions $\mathcal{F}$ of a global function field $F$ and study various aspects of Iwasawa theory with emphasis on the two main themes already (and still) developed in the number fields case as…

This paper is concerned with the study of the fine Selmer group of an abelian variety over a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension which is not necessarily cyclotomic. It has been conjectured that these fine Selmer groups are always torsion over…

The notion of the truncated Euler characteristic for Iwasawa modules is a generalization of the the usual Euler characteristic to the case when the cohomology groups are not finite. Let $p$ be an odd prime, $E_1$ and $E_2$ be elliptic…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. Michael Larsen conjectured that for any finitely generated subgroup G of Gal(\bar K/K), the Mordell-Weil rank of E is unbounded in number fields fixed by G. We prove that the…

This paper aims at studying the Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariant of the $p$-primary Selmer group. We study the growth behaviour of $p$-primary Selmer groups in $p$-power degree extensions over non-cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of a number…

It is well-known that if $E$ is an elliptic curve over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $E(\mathbb{F}_p)\simeq\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/mk\mathbb{Z}$ for some positive integers $m, k$. Let $S(M,K)$ denote the set of pairs…

We use Hodge theory to prove a new upper bound on the ranks of Mordell-Weil groups for elliptic curves over function fields after regular geometrically Galois extensions of the base field, improving on previous results of Silverman and…

Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…

Let $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ be an elliptic curve and $p$ be an odd prime number at which $E$ has good ordinary reduction. Let $Sel_{p^\infty}(\mathbb{Q}_\infty, E)$ denote the $p$-primary Selmer group of $E$ considered over the cyclotomic…

We develop an explicit geometric construction of automorphisms of finite fields arising from isogeny cycles. Let $k$ be a finite field, $E/k$ an elliptic curve, and $\ell$ an integer coprime to $\mathrm{char}(k)$. Let $\mathfrak{h}$ be an…

Motivated by the work of Greenberg-Vatsal and Emerton-Pollack-Weston, I investigate the extent to which Mazur's conjecture on the growth of Selmer ranks in $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of an imaginary quadratic field persists under…

We study how the torsion of elliptic curves over number fields grows upon base change, and in particular prove various necessary conditions for torsion growth. For a number field $F$, we show that for a large set of number fields $L$, whose…

Let $k$ be a finite field and $L$ be the function field of a curve $C/k$ of genus $g\geq 1$. In the first part of this note, we show that the number of separable $S$-integral points on a constant elliptic curve $E/L$ is bounded solely in…
