Abstract

We give a new formulation in Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves at good supersingular primes. This formulation is similar to Mazur's at good ordinary primes. Namely, we define a new Selmer group, and show that it is of Λ-cotorsion. Then we formulate the Iwasawa main conjecture as that the characteristic ideal is generated by Pollack's p-adic L-function. We show that this main conjecture is equivalent to Kato's and Perrin-Riou's main conjectures. We also prove an inequality in the main conjecture by using Kato's Euler system. In terms of the λ- And the μ-invariants of our Selmer group, we specify the numbers λ and μ in the asymptotic formula for the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group by Kurihara and Perrin-Riou.
