On the Iwasawa-theoretic Mazur-Rubin-Sano conjecture for
imaginary quadratic fields
Abstract: In this talk we present our results concerning the
Iwasawa-theoretic Mazur-Rubin-Sano conjecture as formulated by D. Burns,
M. Kurihara and T. Sano for infinitely many extensions in the case of
imaginary quadratic base field k in which a fixed prime p is
non-split and 'trivial zeros' are allowed.
This is accomplished by using a construction of elliptic p-units which
is joint work with W. Bley.
A consequence of the main result is the removal of one of the
obstructions to proving the relevant case of the equivariant Tamagawa
Number Conjecture.
