Mazur's main conjecture at Eisenstein primes

Abstract

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve, let p>2p>2 be a prime of good reduction for EE, and assume that EE admits a rational pp-isogeny with kernel Fp(ϕ)\mathbb{F}_p(\phi). In this paper we prove the cyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture for EE, as formulated by Mazur in 1972, when ϕGp1,ω\phi\vert_{G_p}\neq 1,\omega, where GpG_p is a decomposition group at pp and ω\omega is the Teichm\"uller character. Our proof is based on a study of the anticyclotomic Iwasawa theory of EE over an imaginary quadratic field KK in which pp splits, and a congruence argument exploiting the cyclotomic Euler system of Beilinson--Flach classes.
