Zeta elements for elliptic curves and applications

Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve defined over Q\mathbb{Q} with conductor NN and p2Np\nmid 2N a prime. Let LL be an imaginary quadratic field with pp split. We prove the existence of pp-adic zeta element for EE over LL, encoding two different pp-adic LL-functions associated to EE over LL via explicit reciprocity laws at the primes above pp. We formulate a main conjecture for EE over LL in terms of the zeta element, mediating different main conjectures in which the pp-adic LL-functions appear, and prove some results toward them. The zeta element has various applications to the arithmetic of elliptic curves. This includes a proof of main conjecture for semistable elliptic curves EE over Q\mathbb{Q} at supersingular primes pp, as conjectured by Kobayashi in 2002. It leads to the pp-part of the conjectural Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) formula for such curves of analytic rank zero or one, and enables us to present the first infinite families of non-CM elliptic curves for which the BSD conjecture is true. We provide further evidence towards the BSD conjecture: new cases of pp-converse to the Gross--Zagier and Kolyvagin theorem, and pp-part of the BSD formula for ordinary primes pp. Along the way, we give a proof of a conjecture of Perrin-Riou connecting Beilinson--Kato elements with rational points.
