Aspects of Iwasawa theory over function fields

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 well. When dealing with the Selmer group of an abelian variety $A$ defined over $F$, we provide all the ingredients to formulate an Iwasawa Main Conjecture relating the Fitting ideal and the $p$-adic $L$-function associated to $A$ and $\mathcal{F}$. We do the same, with characteristic ideals and $p$-adic $L$-functions, in the case of class groups (using known results on characteristic ideals and Stickelberger elements for $\mathbb{Z}_p^d$-extensions). The final section provides more details for the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p^{\mathbb{N}}$-extension arising from the torsion of the Carlitz module: in particular, we relate cyclotomic units with Bernoulli-Carlitz numbers by a Coates-Wiles homomorphism.

Iwasawa Main Conjecture for the Carlitz cyclotomic extension and applications

We prove an Iwasawa Main Conjecture for the class group of the $\mathfrak{p}$-cyclotomic extension $\mathcal{F}$ of the function field $\mathbb{F}_q(θ)$ ($\mathfrak{p}$ is a prime of $\mathbb{F}_q[θ]\,$), showing that its Fitting ideal is generated by a Stickelberger element. We use this and a link between the Stickelberger element and a $\mathfrak{p}$-adic $L$-function to prove a close analog of the Ferrero-Washington theorem for $\mathcal{F}$ and to provide informations on the $\mathfrak{p}$-adic valuations of the Bernoulli-Goss numbers $β(j)$ (i.e., on the values of the Goss $ζ$-function at negative integers).

Characteristic ideals and Iwasawa theory

Let $Ł$ be a non-noetherian Krull domain which is the inverse limit of noetherian Krull domains $Ł_d$ and let $M$ be a finitely generated $Ł$-module which is the inverse limit of $Ł_d$-modules $M_d\,$. Under certain hypotheses on the rings $Ł_d$ and on the modules $M_d\,$, we define a pro-characteristic ideal for $M$ in $Ł$, which should play the role of the usual characteristic ideals for finitely generated modules over noetherian Krull domains. We apply this to the study of Iwasawa modules (in particular of class groups) in a non-noetherian Iwasawa algebra $\Z_p[[\Gal(\calf/F)]]$, where $F$ is a function field of characteristic $p$ and $\Gal(\calf/F)\simeq\Z_p^\infty$.

Characteristic ideals and Selmer groups

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a global field $F$ of positive characteristic $p$ and let $\calf/F$ be a $\Z_p^{\N}$-extension, unramified outside a finite set of places of $F$. Assuming that all ramified places are totally ramified, we define a pro-characteristic ideal associated to the Pontrjagin dual of the $p$-primary Selmer group of $A$, in order to formulate an Iwasawa Main Conjecture for the non-noetherian commutative Iwasawa algebra $\Z_p[[\Gal(\calf/F)]]$ (which we also prove for a constant abelian variety). To do this we first show the relation between the characteristic ideals of duals of Selmer groups for a $\Z_p^d$-extension $\calf_d/F$ and for any $\Z_p^{d-1}$-extension contained in $\calf_d\,$, and then use a limit process.

Control Theorems for l-adic Lie extensions of global function fields

Let F be a global function field of characteristic p>0, K/F an l-adic Lie extension unramified outside a finite set of places S and A/F an abelian variety without complex multiplication. We study Sel_A(K)_l^\vee (the Pontrjagin dual of the Selmer group) and (under some mild hypotheses) prove that it is a finitely generated Z_l[[\Gal(K/F)]]-module via generalizations of Mazur's Control Theorem. If Gal(K/F) has no elements of order l and contains a closed normal subgroup H such that Gal(K/F)/H\simeq Z_l, we are able to give sufficient conditions for Sel_A(K)_l^\vee to be finitely generated as Z_l[[H]]-module and, consequently, a torsion Z_l[[\Gal(K/F)]]-module. We deal with both cases l\neq p and l=p.

Selmer groups for elliptic curves in Z_l^d-extensions of function fields of characteristic p

Let $F$ be a function field of characteristic $p>0$, $\F/F$ a Galois extension with $Gal(\F/F)\simeq \Z_l^d$ (for some prime $l\neq p$) and $E/F$ a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of Selmer groups $Sel_E(L)_r$ ($r$ any prime) as $L$ varies through the subextensions of $\F$ via appropriate versions of Mazur's Control Theorem. As a consequence we prove that $Sel_E(\F)_r$ is a cofinitely generated (in some cases cotorsion) $\Z_r[[Gal(\F/F)]]$-module.
