Abstract: We give an elementary proof of the Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum conjecture for elliptic curves by using Kato's element.


Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over \(\mathbb Q\). If \(E\) has split multiplicative reduction at the prime \(p\), then the \(p\)-adic \(L\)-function \(L_p(E, s)\) has an extra zero at \(s= 1\) coming from the interpolation factor at \(p\). The Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum conjecture [Invent. Math. 84, 1--48 (1996; Zbl 0699.14028)] describes the first derivative of \(L_p(E,s)\) at \(s= 1\) in terms of \(L(E,1)\), and the real and Tate periods of \(E\). This conjecture has been proved by \textit{R. Greenberg} and \textit{G. Stevens} [Invent. Math. 111, No. 2, 407--447 (1993; Zbl 0778.11034)] by using Hida's universal ordinary deformation theory. \textit{K. Kato}, \textit{M. Kurihara} and \textit{T. Tsuji} [Local Iwasawa theory of Perrin-Riou and syntomic complexes, preprint 1996] and, independently, \textit{P. Colmez} [The \(p\)-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Astérisque 294, 251--319, Exp. No. 919 (2004; Zbl 1094.11025)] proved a more general result by purely local methods. The author proves a derivative formula of the Coleman map for elliptic curves by a purely local and elementary method (Theorem 4.1). The Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum conjecture for elliptic curves is an easy consequence of this formula (Corollary 4.2).
