We formulate an Iwasawa main conjecture for a higher rank Euler system for a general motive. We prove "one half" of the main conjecture under mild hypotheses. We also formulate a conjecture on "Darmon-type derivatives" of Euler systems and give an application to the Tamagawa number conjecture. Lastly, we specialize our general framework to the setting of Heegner points and give a natural interpretation of the Heegner point main conjecture in terms of rank two Euler systems.
Given a weight two modular form f with associated p-adic Galois representation V_f, for certain quadratic imaginary fields K one can construct canonical classes in the Galois cohomology of V_f by taking the Kummer images of Heegner points on the modular abelian variety attached to f. We show that these classes can be interpolated as f varies in a Hida family, and construct an Euler system of big Heegner points for Hida's universal ordinary deformation of V_f. We show that the specialization of this big Euler system to any form in the Hida family is nontrivial, extending results of Cornut and V…
In this paper, we study the Heegner points on more general modular curves other than $X_0(N)$, which generalizes Gross' work "Heegner points on $X_0(N)$". The explicit Gross-Zagier formula and the Euler system property are stated in this case. Using such kind of Heegner points, we construct certain families of quadratic twists of $X_0(36)$, with the ranks of Mordell-Weil groups being zero and one respectively, and show that the $2$-part of their BSD conjectures hold.
The principal goal of this paper is to develop Kolyvagin's descent to apply with the big Heegner point Euler system constructed by Howard for the big Galois representation $\mathbb{T}$ attached to a Hida family $\mathbb{F}$ of elliptic modular forms. In order to achieve this, we interpolate and control the Tamagawa factors attached to each member of the family $\mathbb{F}$ at bad primes, which should be of independent interest. Using this, we then work out the Kolyvagin descent on the big Heegner point Euler system so as to obtain a big Kolyvagin system that interpolates the collection of Koly…
Our first goal in this note is to explain that a weak form of Perrin-Riou's conjecture on the non-triviality of Beilinson-Kato classes follows as an easy consequence of the Iwasawa main conjectures, and deduce its refined versions in the supersingular case from this fact and a variety of Gross-Zagier formulae. Our second goal is to set up a conceptual framework in the context of $Λ$-adic Kolyvagin systems to treat analogues of Perrin-Riou's conjectures for higher motives of higher rank. We apply this general discussion in order to establish a link between Heegner points on a general class of C…
We propose a refined version of the Beilinson-Bloch conjecture for the motive associated with a modular form of even weight. This conjecture relates the dimension of the image of the relevant p-adic Abel-Jacobi map to certain combinations of Heegner cycles on Kuga-Sato varieties. We prove theorems in the direction of the conjecture and, in doing so, obtain higher weight analogues of results for elliptic curves due to Darmon.
We prove new equidistribution results for Galois orbits of Heegner points with respect to reduction maps at inert primes. The arguments are based on two different techniques: primitive representations of integers by quadratic forms and distribution relations for Heegner points. Our results generalize one of the equidistribution theorems established by Cornut and Vatsal in the sense that we allow both the fundamental discriminant and the conductor to grow. Moreover, for fixed fundamental discriminant and variable conductor, we deduce an effective surjectivity theorem for the reduction map from …
Perrin-Riou has formulated a form of the Iwasawa main conjecture, which relates Heegner points to the Selmer group of an elliptic curve as one goes up the anticyclotomic Z_p extension of a quadratic imaginary field K. Building on the earlier work of Bertolini on this conjecture, and making use of the recent work of Mazur and Rubin on Kolyvagin's theory of Euler systems, we prove one divisibility of Perrin-Riou's conjectured equality. As a consequence, one obtains an upper bound on the rank of the Mordell-Weil group E(K) in terms of Heegner points.
We construct an Euler system of generalized Heegner cycles to bound the Selmer group associated to a modular form and an algebraic Hecke character. The main argument is based on Kolyvagin's machinery explained by Gross while the key object of the Euler system, the generalized Heegner cycles, were first considered by Bertolini, Darmon and Prasanna.
Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N$, let $p>3$ be a prime where $E$ has good ordinary reduction, and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In 1987, Perrin-Riou formulated an Iwasawa main conjecture for the Tate-Shafarevich group of $E$ over the anticyclotomic $\mathbf{Z}_p$-extension of $K$ in terms of Heegner points. In this paper, we give a proof of Perrin-Riou's conjecture under mild hypotheses. Our proof builds on Howard's theory of bipartite Euler systems and Wei Zhang's work on Kolyvagin's conjecture. In the case when $p$ splits i…
In this paper, we deduce the vanishing of Selmer groups for the Rankin-Selberg convolution of a cusp form with a theta series of higher weight from the nonvanishing of the associated $L$-value, thus establishing the rank 0 case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture in these cases. Our methods are based on the connection between Heegner cycles and $p$-adic $L$-functions, building upon recent work of Bertolini, Darmon and Prasanna, and on an extension of Kolyvagin's method of Euler systems to the anticyclotomic setting. In the course of the proof, we also obtain a higher weight analogue of Mazur's conjec…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. Under a certain Heegner hypothesis, Kolyvagin constructed cohomology classes for $E$ using $K$-CM points and conjectured they did not all vanish. Conditional on this conjecture, he described the Selmer rank of $E$ using his system of classes. We extend work of Wei Zhang to prove new cases of Kolyvagin's conjecture by considering congruences of modular forms modulo large powers of $p $. Additionally, we prove an analogous result, and give a description of the Selmer rank, in a complementary "definite" case (usi…
In this paper we introduce confluence relations for motivic Euler sums (also called alternating multiple zeta values) and show that all linear relations among motivic Euler sums are exhausted by the confluence relations. This determines all automorphisms of the de Rham fundamental groupoid of $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,\pm1,\infty\}$ coming from the action of the motivic Galois group of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}[1/2]$. Moreover, we also discuss other applications of the confluence relations such as an explicit $\mathbb{Q}$-linear expansion of a given motivic Euler sum by their basis…
Under mild hypotheses on the residual representation, we prove the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras using a novel combination of the methods of Euler systems and Taylor-Wiles systems. We also prove the compatibility of this conjecture with specialization.
We develop a framework to investigate conjectures on congruences between the algebraic part of special values of $L$-functions of congruent motives. We show that algebraic local Euler factors satisfy precise interpolation properties in $p$-adic families of motives and that algebraic $p$-adic $L$-functions exist in quite large generality for $p$-adic families of automorphic motives. We formulate two conjectures refining (and correcting) the currently existing formulation of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture with coefficients in Hecke algebras and pointing out the links between conjectu…
We use an Euler system of Heegner cycles to bound the Selmer group associated to a modular form of higher even weight twisted by a ring class character. This is an extension of Nekovar's result that uses Bertolini and Darmon's refinement of Kolyvagin's ideas.
Assuming specific instances of two general conjectures in arithmetic algebraic geometry (bijectivity of $p$-adic regulator maps, injectivity of $p$-adic Abel-Jacobi maps), we prove several cases of the $p$-part of the Tamagawa number conjecture ($p$-TNC) of Bloch-Kato and Fontaine-Perrin-Riou for (homological) motives of modular forms of even weight $\geq4$ in analytic rank $1$. More precisely, we prove our results for a large class of newforms $f$ and prime numbers $p$ that are ordinary for $f$ and such that the weight of $f$ is congruent to $2$ modulo $2(p-1)$. Inspired by work of W. Zhang i…
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, $N$ be a positive integer, $f(z)$ be a newform of level $Γ_1(N)$, and $A_f$ be the abelian variety associated to $f$. For each $τ\in K$ ($\operatorname{Im} τ>0$), we construct a certain point $P_τ$ on $A_f$ defined over an extended ring class field of $K$ of level $N$. Our construction generalizes Birch's construction of the Heegner points to the abelian varieties associated to modular forms of level $Γ_1(N)$ and nontrivial character. Then, we show that $P_τ$'s satisfy the distribution and congruence relations of an Euler system, which implies that it s…
This paper proposes a conjecture on special values of L-functions of geometric motives over Z. This includes L-functions of mixed motives over Q and Hasse-Weil zeta-functions of schemes over Z. We conjecture the following: the order of L(M, s) at s=0 is given by the negative Euler characteristic of motivic cohomology of $M^\vee(-1)$. Up to a nonzero rational factor, the L-value at s=0 is given by the determinant of the pairing of Arakelov motivic cohomology of M with the motivic homology of M. Under standard assumptions concerning mixed motives over Q, $F_p$, and Z, this conjecture is essentia…

Let $p\ge 7$ be a prime number and $f$ a normalized eigen-newform with good reduction at $p$ such that its $p$-th Fourier coefficient vanishes. We construct a rank-two Euler system attached to the $p$-adic realization of the symmetric square motive of $f$. Furthermore, we show that the non-triviality is guaranteed by the non-vanishing of the leading term of the relevant $L$-value and the non-vanishing of a certain $p$-adic period modulo $p$.
In this article, we study the Iwasawa theory for Hilbert modular forms over the anticyclotomic extension of a CM field. We prove a one sided divisibility result toward the Iwasawa main conjecture. The proof relies on the first and second reciprocity law relating theta elements to Heegner points Euler system. As a by-product we also prove certain Bloch-Kato type result in the rank $0$ case and a parity conjecture
We propose a formulation of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras; something which seems to have been heretofore missing because the complexes of Galois cohomology required were not known to be perfect. We show that the fundamental line of this conjecture satisfies the expected compatibility property at geometric points (more precisely at the points satisfying the Weight-Monodromy conjecture) and is compatible with level-lowering and level-raising. Combining these properties with the methods of Euler a…
Let $f$ be a normalized cuspidal eigen-newform of level coprime to $p$ with $a_p(f)=0$. We formulate both integral signed Iwasawa main conjectures and analytic Iwasawa man conjectures attached to the symmetric square motive of $f$ twisted by an auxiliary Dirichlet character. We show that the Beilinson--Flach elements attached to the symmetric square motive factorize into integral signed Beilinson--Flach elements, giving evidence towards the existence a rank-two Euler system predicted by Perrin-Riou. We use these integral elements to prove one inclusion in the integral and analytic Iwasawa main…
The exceptional zero phenomenon has been widely studied in the realm of $p$-adic $L$-functions, where the starting point lies in the foundational work of Mazur, Tate and Teitelbaum. This phenomenon also appears in the study of Euler systems, which comes as no surprise given the interaction between these two settings. When this occurs, one is led to study higher order derivatives of the Euler system in order to extract the arithmetic information which is usually encoded in the explicit reciprocity laws. In this work, we focus on the elliptic units of an imaginary quadratic field and study this …
