In this paper, we are interested in the Poitou-Tate duality in Galois cohomology. We will formulate and prove a theorem for a nice class of modules (with a continuous Galois action) over a pro-p ring. The theorem will comprise of the Tate local duality, PoitouTate duality and the Poitou-Tate's exact sequence.
In this article, we give a criterion for the dual Selmer group of an elliptic curve which has either good ordinary reduction or multiplicative reduction at every prime above p to satisfy the M H (G)-conjecture. As a by-product of our calculations, we are able to define the Akashi series of the dual Selmer groups assuming the conjectures of Mazur and Schneider. Previously, the Akashi series are defined under the stronger assumption that the dual Selmer group satisfies the M H (G)-conjecture. We then establish a criterion for the vanishing of the dual Selmer groups using the Akashi series. We will apply this criterion to prove some results on the characteristic elements of the dual Selmer groups. Our methods in this paper are inspired by the work of Coates-SchneiderSujatha and can be extended to the Greenberg Selmer groups attached to other ordinary representations, for instance, those coming from an p-ordinary modular form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
