On the -invariant of Selmer groups arising from certain quadratic twists of Gross curves

Abstract: Let

q

be a prime with

q e q u i v 7 m o d 8

, and let

K = m a t h b b Q (s q r t - q)

. Then

2

splits in

K

, and we write

m a t h f r a k p

for either of the primes

K

above

2

. Let

K_{i} n f t y

be the unique

m a t h b b Z_{2}

-extension of

K

unramified outside

m a t h f r a k p

with

n

-th layer

K_{n}

. For certain quadratic extensions

F / K

, we prove a simple exact formula for the

l a m b d a

-invariant of the Galois group of the maximal abelian 2-extension unramified outside

m a t h f r a k p

of the field

F_{i} n f t y = F K_{i} n f t y

. Equivalently, our result determines the exact

m a t h b b Z_{2}

-corank of certain Selmer groups over

F_{i} n f t y

of a large family of quadratic twists of the higher dimensional abelian variety with complex multiplication, which is the restriction of scalars to

K

of the Gross curve with complex multiplication defined over the Hilbert class field of

K

. We also discuss computations of the associated Selmer groups over

K_{n}

in the case when the

l a m b d a

-invariant is equal to

1

.
