Plus/minus Heegner points and Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves at supersingular primes

Abstract: Let

E

be an elliptic curve over

m a t h b b Q

and let

p g e q 5

be a prime of good supersingular reduction for

E

. Let

K

be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying a modified "Heegner hypothesis" in which

p

splits, write

K_{i} n f t y

for the anticyclotomic

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-extension of

K

and let

L a m b d a

denote the Iwasawa algebra of

K_{i} n f t y / K

. By extending to the supersingular case the

L a m b d a

-adic Kolyvagin method originally developed by Bertolini in the ordinary setting, we prove that Kobayashi's plus/minus

p

-primary Selmer groups of

E

over

K_{i} n f t y

have corank

1

over

L a m b d a

. As an application, when all the primes dividing the conductor of

E

split in

K

, we combine our main theorem with results of c{C}iperiani and of Iovita-Pollack and obtain a "big O" formula for the

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-corank of the

p

-primary Selmer groups of

E

over the finite layers of

K_{i} n f t y / K

that represents the supersingular counterpart of a well-known result for ordinary primes.
