Kolyvagin's conjecture at non-ordinary primes
Abstract
Let K be an imaginary quadratic field and let p β₯ 5 be a prime that is unramified in K. Let πf/β be an abelian variety of GL2-type associated with a weight-two modular form f, with good non-ordinary reduction at p, and suppose that (f,K) satisfies the generalized Heegner hypothesis. In the case where p is inert in K, we further assume that πf is an elliptic curve. We develop an Euler-characteristic formula for signed Selmer groups over anticyclotomic β€p-extensions that applies when the corresponding Selmer modules have arbitrary Ξ-rank. Assuming one inclusion in the signed Iwasawa main conjecture, we apply this formula to prove Kolyvagin's conjecture on the non-vanishing of the Kolyvagin system attached to Heegner points. Our results extend to the non-ordinary setting the results of Wei Zhang, Burungale--Castella--Grossi--Skinner, Castella--Sano and Kim in the ordinary case, and complement the works of Sweeting and Kim in the non-ordinary case under different hypotheses. We also study the effect of the exceptional zero phenomenon on the Iwasawa main conjecture in the inert case.
