Residual supersingular Iwasawa theory and signed Iwasawa invariants

Abstract

For an odd prime $p$ and a supersingular elliptic curve over a number field, this article introduces a multi-signed residual Selmer group, under certain hypotheses on the base field. This group depends purely on the residual representation at $p$, yet captures information about the Iwasawa theoretic invariants of the signed $p^{\infty }$-Selmer group that arise in supersingular Iwasawa theory. Working in this residual setting provides a natural framework for studying congruences modulo $p$ in Iwasawa theory.
