Pontryagin duality for Iwasawa modules and abelian varieties

We prove a functional equation for two projective systems of finite abelian $p$-groups, $\{\fa_n\}$ and $\{\fb_n\}$, endowed with an action of $\ZZ_p^d$ such that $\fa_n$ can be identified with the Pontryagin dual of $\fb_n$ for all $n$. Let $K$ be a global field. Let $L$ be a $\ZZ_p^d$-extension of $K$ ($d\geq 1$), unramified outside a finite set of places. Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $K$. We prove an algebraic functional equation for the Pontryagin dual of the Selmer group of $A$.

On the Iwasawa Main conjecture of abelian varieties over function fields

We study a geometric analogue of the Iwasawa Main Conjecture for abelian varieties in the two following cases: constant ordinary abelian varieties over $Z_p^d$-extensions of function fields ($d\geq 1$) ramified at a finite set of places, and semistable abelian varieties over the arithmetic $Z_p$-extension of a function field. One of the tools we use in our proof is a pseudo-isomorphism relating the duals of the Selmer groups of $A$ and its dual abelian variety $A^t$. This holds as well over number fields and is a consequence of a quite general algebraic functional equation.

Arithmetic $\D$-modules and Representations

We propose in this paper an approach to Breuil's conjecture on a Langlands correspondence between $p$-adic Galois representations and representations of $p$-adic Lie groups in $p$-adic topological vector spaces. We suggest that Berthelot's theory of arithmetic $D$-modules should give a $p$-adic analogue of Kashiwara's theory of $D$-modules for real Lie groups i.e. it should give a realization of the $p$-adic representations of a $p$-adic Lie group as spaces of overconvergent solutions of arithmetic $D$-modules which will come equipped with an action of the Galois group. We shall discuss the case of Siegel modular varieties as a possible testing ground for the proposal.

On Iwasawa Theory over Function Fields

Let $k_{\infty}$ be a $\Z_p^d$-extension of a global function field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Let $\Cl_{k_{\infty},p}$ be the $p$ completion of the class group of $k_{\infty}$. We prove that the characteristic ideal of the Galois module $\Cl_{k_{\infty},p}$ is generated by the Stickelberger element of Gross which calculates the special values of $L$ functions.
