On the control theorem for fine Selmer groups and the growth of fine Tate-Shafarevich groups in \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extensions (Q2221632): Difference between revisions

Summary: Let \(A\) be an abelian variety defined over a number field \(F\). We prove a control theorem for the fine Selmer group of the abelian variety \(A\) which essentially says that the kernel and cokernel of the natural restriction maps in an arbitrarily given \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension \(F_\infty/F\) are finite and bounded. We emphasise that our result does not have any constraints on the reduction of \(A\) and the ramification of \(F_\infty/F\). As a first consequence of the control theorem, we show that the fine Tate-Shafarevich group over an arbitrary \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension has trivial \(\Lambda \)-corank. We then derive an asymptotic growth formula for the \(p\)-torsion subgroup of the dual fine Selmer group in a \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension. However, as the fine Mordell-Weil group need not be \(p\)-divisible in general, the fine Tate-Shafarevich group need not agree with the \(p\)-torsion of the dual fine Selmer group, and so the asymptotic growth formula for the dual fine Selmer groups do not carry over to the fine Tate-Shafarevich groups. Nevertheless, we do provide certain sufficient conditions, where one can obtain a precise asymptotic formula.
