Asymptotic behavior of class groups and cyclotomic Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves

Abstract: In this article, we study a relation between certain quotients of ideal class groups and the cyclotomic Iwasawa module

X_{i} n f t y

of the Pontrjagin dual of the fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve

E

defined over

m a t h b b Q

. We consider the Galois extension field

K_{n}^{E}

of

m a t h b b Q

generated by coordinates of all

p^{n}

-torsion points of

E

, and introduce a quotient

A_{n}^{E}

of the

p

-sylow subgroup of the ideal class group of

K_{n}^{E}

cut out by the modulo

p^{n}

Galois representation

E [p^{n}]

. We describe the asymptotic behavior of

A_{n}^{E}

by using the Iwasawa module

X_{i} n f t y

. In particular, under certain conditions, we obtain an asymptotic formula as Iwasawa's class number formula on the order of

A_{n}^{E}

by using Iwasawa's invariants of

X_{i} n f t y

.
