Abstract

In this article we study the algebraic structure of fine Mordell--Weil groups, plus/minus Mordell--Weil groups, Selmer groups, and plus/minus Selmer groups in the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extensions of abelian number fields. As a first, we prove theorems on the equivariant structure of fine Mordell--Weil groups and plus/minus Mordell--Weil groups. In other words, we study the explicit shape of the fine, plus/minus objects as a Λ(G)\Lambda(\mathcal{G})-module with GZp×G\mathcal{G} \simeq \mathbb{Z}_p \times G and GG a finite abelian group. We prove refinements of previously known results over Q\mathbb{Q} for the classical Selmer group and the plus/minus Selmer group, and subsequently also the Shafarevich--Tate group, and the plus/minus Shafarevich--Tate group. This gives new evidence towards an affirmative answer for the Kurihara--Pollack problem.
