Abstract: Let $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $p>0$, $mathcalF/F$ a Galois extension with $Gal(ildeF/F)simeqmathbb{Z}_p^{mathbbN}$ and $E/F$ a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of Selmer groups $Se{l}_E(L{)}_l$ ($l$ any prime) as $L$ varies through the subextensions of $mathcalF$ via appropriate versions of Mazur's Control Theorem. In the case $l=p$ we let $$ where $mathcal{F}_d/F$ is a $mathbb{Z}_p^d$-extension. With a mild hypothesis on $Se{l}_E(F{)}_p$ (essentially a consequence of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) we prove that $Se{l}_E(mathcal{F}_d{)}_p$ is a cofinitely generated (in some cases cotorsion) $mathbb{Z}_p[[Gal(mathcal{F}_d/F)]]$-module and we associate to its Pontrjagin dual a Fitting ideal. This allows to define an algebraic $L$-function associated to $E$ in $mathbb{Z}_p[[Gal(mathcalF/F)]]$, providing an ingredient for a function field analogue of Iwasawa's Main Conjecture for elliptic curves.
