Let E /Q be a CM elliptic curve and p a prime of good ordinary reduction for E.Weshowthat if Sel (E /Q) has Z -corank one, then E (Q) has a point of infinite order. The non-torsion p p point arises from a Heegner point, and thus ord L(E , s) = 1, yielding a p-converse to s=1 a theorem of Gross–Zagier, Kolyvagin, and Rubin in the spirit of [49, 54]. For p > 3, this gives a new proof of the main result of [12], which our approach extends to all primes. The approach generalizes to CM elliptic curves over totally real fields [4]. Résumé Soit E /Q une courbe elliptique à multiplication complexe et p un nombre premier de bonne réduction ordinaire pour E. Nous montrons que si corank Sel (E /Q) = 1, alors E Z p a un point d’ordre infini. Le point de non-torsion provient d’un point de Heegner, et donc ord L(E , s) = 1, ce qui donne une réciproque à un théorème de Gross–Zagier, Kolyvagin, s=1 et Rubin dans l’esprit de [49, 54]. Pour p > 3, cela donne une nouvelle preuve du résultat principal de [12], que notre approche étend à tous les nombres premiers. L’approche se généralise aux courbes elliptiques à multiplication complexe sur les corps totalement réels [4]. To Bernadette Perrin-Riou, with admiration.

Besides being an evidence for the Birch s=1 and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, an important impetus for the p-converse theorems has come from recent developments in arithmetic statistics. For instance, such p-converse theorems have led to the proof [10] that a large proportion of elliptic curves over Q—and conditionally, 100% of them—satisfy the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. The p-converse theorems of [49, 54] are obtained by exhibiting a certain Heegner point on E with infinite order, and hold for primes p > 3 of good ordinary reduction of E,and under certain hypotheses that excluded the CM elliptic curves. Our main result is the following CM p-converse theorem. For primes p > 3, the result wasfirstprovedin[12]. Theorem A Let E /Q be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by an order of an imaginary quadratic field K of discriminant −D < 0. Assume that the Hecke character associated to E has conductor exactly divisible by d := ( −D ). Let p be a prime of good K K ordinary reduction for E. Then corank Sel ∞ (E /Q) = 1 ⇒ ord L(E , s) = 1. Z p s=1 In particular, if corank Sel (E /Q) = 1 then rank E (Q) = 1 and #W(E /Q)< ∞. Z p Z Note that the ‘in particular’ clause in Theorem A follows from combining its conclusion with the fundamental work of Gross–Zagier, Kolyvagin, and Rubin. In turn, this consequence yields the following mod p criterion for analytic rank one. 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 327 Corollary B Let (E , K) be as in Theorem A, and let p be a prime of good ordinary reduction for E such that: (i) E (Q)[p]= 0; (ii) Sel (E /Q) Z/pZ, where Sel (E /Q) ⊂ H (Q, E [p]) is the p-Selmer group of E. p p Then ord L(E , s) = 1 and W(E /Q)[p ]= 0. s=1 More generally, we prove a p-converse for CM abelian varieties B /K associated with Hecke characters λ over K of infinity type (−1, 0) (see Theorem 8.2). Our approach to the CM p-converse differs from [12]. A salient feature is that the approach generalizes to CM elliptic curves over totally real fields: It sidesteps the inherence of elliptic units in [12], and leads to the first p-converse theorems over general totally real fields. This note might thus be viewed as a prelude to [4]. The conductor hypothesis in Theorem A arises from an appeal to [19] which supposes a classical Heegner hypothesis. This hypothesis may be removed (cf. [3, 4]) via the p-adic Waldspurger formula of Liu–Zhang–Zhang [34], whose habitat is the general Yuan–Zhang– Zhang framework [53]. (The hypothesis is not present in [12], thanks to Disegni’s p-adic Gross–Zagier formula [22], also in the framework of [53].) Remark C The p-converse as in Theorem A is independently due to Ressler and Yu [47, 52]. Complementing the present note, their approach builds on [12] and does not require the conductor hypothesis. A key new element in their work is a counterpart of the main results of Agboola–Howard [1] for small primes. Remark D A spectacular result of Smith [50] reduces Goldfeld’s conjecture [24]for CM elliptic curves E /Q with E (Q)[2] (Z/2Z) and admitting no rational cyclic 4-isogeny to the CM p-converse and its rank zero analogue for the prime p = 2. The unconditional rank zero CM p-converse is in fact proved in [11, 13]. Unfortunately, Theorem A falls short of providing the desired rank one CM p-converse: First, E should be allowed to have just potentially good ordinary reduction at p (this might be approachable by our strategy); the second—and the main—hindrance is that Q( −7) is the only imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 with 2 split, and incidentally E (Q)[2] Z/2Z for all elliptic curves E /Q with CM by Q( −7) (see e.g. the table in [38, p. 2]). The approach Assuming #W(E /Q)[p ] < ∞ and p #O ,the p-converse as in The- orem A goes back to Rubin [45, Thm. 4]. Around the same time, Rubin proved a striking formula [44] which expresses the p-adic formal group logarithm of a point P ∈ E (Q) ⊗ Z Z p in terms of the value of a Katz p-adic L-function outside its range of interpolation. Our approach to Theorem A is inspired by the p-adic Waldspurger formula of Bertolini–Darmon– Prasanna [7], which is a remarkable generalization of Rubin’s formula, and sheds new light on [44](cf.[6]). Let E /Q be an elliptic curve with CM by an imaginary quadratic field K,and p a prime of good ordinary reduction. Let λ be the Hecke character over K associated with E so that L(E , s) = L(λ, s). In view of a non-vanishing result of Rohrlich [42], we pick a pair (ψ, χ ) of Hecke characters over K with χ of finite order such that ψχ = λ, L(ψ χ, 1) = 0, (1.1) where ψ := ψ ◦ c is the composition of ψ with the non-trivial automorphism of K/Q.For f = θ the theta series associated to ψ, the main result of [7] relates the p-adic formal group 123 328 A. Burungale et al. logarithm of a Heegner point P ∈ B (K) to a value (outside the range of interpolation) ψ,χ ψ,χ of a p-adic Rankin L-series L ( f ,χ).Here B is a CM abelian variety over K endowed v ψ,χ with a K-rational map i : B → E. By the Gross–Zagier formula [53], P is non-torsion λ ψ,χ ψ,χ if and only if L ( f ,χ, 1) = 0. Setting P := i (P ) ∈ E (K), K λ ψ,χ one thus obtains a point on E which, in light of (1.1) and the factorization L( f ,χ, s) = L(λ, s) · L(ψ χ, s), (1.2) is non-torsion if and only if ord L(E , s) = 1. s=1 Now, Theorem A is equivalent to: If Sel (E /Q) has Z -corank 1, then P is non-torsion. p p K In [12] the non-triviality is shown via the following. (1) The anticyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture (IMC) for (Hecke characters over) K in the root number +1 case [43]; (2) The anticyclotomic IMC for K in the root number −1 case [1, 2]; (3) The non-vanishing of the -adic regulator appearing in (2) [14]; (4) The -adic Gross–Zagier formula [22]. Here denotes the anticyclotomic Iwasawa algebra over K (with certain coefficients). Bypassing (2), (3), and (4), our approach builds on the explicit reciprocity law [19], which realizes L ( f ,χ) as the image of a -adic Heegner class z under a Perrin-Riou big v f ,χ logarithm map. Similarly as in [6], we establish a factorization 2 ∗ ∗ ∗ L (θ ,χ) = L (ψ χ ) · L (ψ χ ) v ψ v v in Sect. 4 relating L (θ ,χ) to the product of two Katz p-adic L-functions, mirroring (1.2). v ψ Along with an analogous decomposition for Selmer groups shown in Sect. 3, the Iwasawa– Greenberg main conjecture for L (θ ,χ) is readily seen to be a consequence of the main v ψ results of [31, 43]. Building on the -adic explicit reciprocity law, in Sect. 5 we prove the equivalence between the main conjecture for the p-adic L-function L (θ ,χ) and a v ψ different main conjecture formulated in terms of the zeta element z . Finally, the latter f ,χ yields the implication corank Sel ∞ (E /Q) = 1 ⇒ P = 0 ∈ E (K) ⊗ Q Z p K Z via a variant of Mazur’s control theorem. Dedication The p-converse for CM elliptic curves E /Q is due to Rubin if #W(E /Q)[p ] < ∞. The essence of our removal of this hypothesis is Iwasawa theory of Heegner points, as pioneered by Perrin-Riou [40]. The theory of big logarithm maps [41], another major contribution of Perrin-Riou, is also elemental to our approach. It is a great pleasure to dedicate this note to Bernadette Perrin-Riou as a humble gift on the occasion of her 65th birthday. 2 Preliminaries Fix throughout a prime p, an algebraic closure Q of Q, and embeddings C ← Q → C .

We assume that K satisfies the Heegner hypothesis relative to N : there is an ideal N ⊂ O withO /N Z/N Z, (Heeg) K K and fix once and for all an ideal N as above. We assume also that pO = vv splits in K, (spl) with v the prime of K above p induced by our fixed embedding ı .Let F ⊂ Q be the number field generated by the Fourier coefficients of f .Denoteby P the prime of F above p induced by ı , and assume that f is P-ordinary, i.e. v (a ( f )) = 0, where v is the P-adic p P p P valuation on F. Let A /Q be the abelian variety of GL -type associated to f , determined up to isogeny f 2 over Q by the equality of L-functions L(A , s) = L( f , s), τ :F →C 123 330 A.

Let α be the P-adic unit root of x − a ( f )x + ε (p)p, and for any positive integer c p f prime to N define the α-stabilized Heegner class y by f ,c,α −1 y − ε (p)α · y if p | c, f ,c f f ,c/ p y := f ,c,α −1 −1 −1 u 1 − σ α − σ α · y if p c. v v f ,c This definition is motivated by the following result.

In [12] a conjecture similar to Conjecture 2.2 is formulated in terms of a -adic Heegner class deduced from work of Disegni [22](see[12, Conj. 2.2]). Similarly as in [12], our proof of Theorem A is based on a study of Conjecture 2.2. The novelty in our approach is in the proof of cases of this conjecture. 3 Selmer groups In this section we introduce the different Selmer groups entering in our arguments. In partic- ular, the decomposition in Proposition 3.4 will play a key role. As well as in other results on the p-converse theorem in rank 1 without a finiteness condition on the Tate–Shafarevich group that appeared after [49]: [18, 21, 51], etc. 123 332 A. Burungale et al. 3.1 Selmer groups of certain Rankin–Selberg convolutions As in Sect. 2.2,let f ∈ S ( (N )) be a P-ordinary newform with nebentypus ε ,and let K 2 1 f be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying (Heeg)and (spl). Let c > 0 be a positive integer prime to N . Similarly as in [6, Def. 3.10], we say that a Hecke character ξ of infinity type (2 + j , − j ), with j ∈ Z,has finite type (c, N,ε ) if it satisfies: (a) ω · ε = 1,where ω is the central character of ξ ; ξ f ξ (b) f = c · N ,where N is the unique divisor of N with norm equal to the conductor of ε ; ξ f (c) the local sign ( f ,ξ) is +1 for all finite primes q. Condition (a) implies that the Rankin–Selberg L-function L( f ,ξ, s) is self-dual, with s = 0 as the central critical point, and by (c) the sign in the functional equation is +1 (resp. −1) when j ≥ 0 (resp. j < 0).Denoteby (c, N,ε ) the set of such characters ξ,and cc f put (1) (c, N,ε ) = ξ ∈ (c, N,ε ) | j < 0 , f cc f cc (2) (c, N,ε ) = ξ ∈ (c, N,ε ) | j ≥ 0 . f cc f cc Denote by ρ : G → Aut (V ) the P-adic Galois representation associated to f ,so f Q f that V (1) ⊗ T A . f O P f (1) −1 Let χ be a finite order character of K such that χ N ∈ (c, N,ε ), and consider the cc f conjugate self-dual G -representation V := V (1)| ⊗ χ.

Fix a 0 cts p p G -stable lattice T ⊂ V , and define the G -module K f ,χ f ,χ K W := T ⊗ , (3.2) f ,χ f ,χ O where the tensor product is endowed with the diagonal Galois action, with G acting on via the inverse of the tautological character : G Gal(K /K)→ . K ∞ Definition 3.1 Fix a finite set of places of K containing ∞ and the primes dividing Np, and denote by K the maximal extension of K unramified outside .The Selmer group S (W ) is defined by v f ,χ 1 1 1 S (W ) := ker H (K /K, W ) → H (K , W ) × H (K , W ) . v f ,χ f ,χ v f ,χ w f ,χ w∈,w p We also set X ( f ,χ) := Hom (S (W ), Q /Z ) ⊗ , v cts v f ,χ p p O which is independent of the lattice T . f ,χ Note that X ( f ,χ) and the Selmer group X(A /K ) defined in Sect. 2.3 differ only v f ,χ ∞ in their defining local conditions at the primes above p.Moreprecisely,by P-ordinarity, for every prime w of K above p there is a G -module exact sequence + − 0 → F T → T → F T → 0 (3.3) f ,χ f ,χ f ,χ w w 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 333 ± − with F T free of rank one over O, and the quotient F T affording an unramified f ,χ f ,χ w w action of G .Put ± ∓ ∨ F W = F T , ⊗ . f ,χ f ,χ O w w 0 Then the Selmer group S (W ) defined by ord f ,χ 1 1 − S (W ) := ker H (K /K, W ) → H (K , F W ) ord f ,χ f ,χ w f ,χ w| p × H (K , W ) (3.4) w f ,χ w∈,w p satisfies S (W ) ⊗ lim Sel (A /K ) ⊗ , ord f ,χ O P f ,χ n O − → and so X ( f ,χ) := Hom (S (W ), Q /Z ) ⊗ X(A /K ). (3.5) ord cts ord f ,χ p p O f ,χ ∞ Letting T := T ⊗ with G -action via ρ ⊗ , and defining S (T ) ⊂ f ,χ f ,χ O 0 K f ord f ,χ H (K /K, T ) in the same manner as in (3.4), we similarly have f ,χ S ( f ,χ) := S (T ) ⊗ S(A /K ) (3.6) ord ord f ,χ O f ,χ ∞ (see e.g. [17, §4]). 3.2 Selmer groups of characters We keep the hypothesis that the imaginary quadratic field K satisfies (spl), and let ξ be a Hecke character of K of conductor f .Let F be a number field containing the values of ξ . Let be the completion of F at the prime P of F above p induced by ı ,and let O be the ring of integers of . Denote by T the free O-module of rank one on which G acts via ξ K −1 ξ , and consider the G -module W := T ⊗ , ξ ξ O ∨ −1 where as before the Galois action on is given by the character . Definition 3.2 Let be a finite set of places of K containing ∞ and the primes dividing p or f .The Selmer group S (W ) is defined by v ξ 1 1 1 X (W ) := ker H (K /K, W ) → H (K , W ) × H (K , W ) . v ξ ξ v ξ w ξ w∈,w p We also set X (ξ ) = X (W ) ⊗ . v v ξ O Remark 3.3 Suppose ξ has infinity type (−1, 0), and denote by ξ the composition of ξ with the non-trivial automorphism of K/Q,so ξ has infinity type (0, −1). Then from e.g. [1, §1.1] we see that X (ξ ) corresponds to the Bloch–Kato Selmer group of ξ over K /K, v ∞ whereas X (ξ ) corresponds to the Selmer group obtained by reversing the local conditions at the primes above p in the corresponding Bloch–Kato Selmer group of ξ . 123 334 A. Burungale et al. 3.3 Decomposition We now specialize the set-up in Sect. 3.1 to the case where f = θ is the theta series of a Hecke character ψ of K of infinity type (−1, 0).Then f has level N = D · N(f ) and nebentypus ε = η · ω ,where η is the quadratic character associated to K/Q. f K ψ K One easily checks (see [6, Lem. 3.14]) that if f is a cyclic ideal of norm N(f ) prime to ψ ψ D ,then K satisfies the Heegner hypothesis (Heeg) relative to N , and one may take N = d · f , where d := ( −D ). (3.7) K K K In the following, we assume that f satisfies the above condition, and take N as in (3.7). −1 Fixaninteger c > 0 prime to Np,and let χ be a finite order character such that χ N ∈ (1) (c, N,ε ). cc f The following decomposition will play an important role later. Proposition 3.4 Let ψ and χ be as above. There is a -module isomorphism ∗ ∗ ∗ X (θ ,χ) X (ψ χ ) ⊕ X (ψ χ ). v ψ v v Proof Put f = θ , and note that there is a G -module decomposition ψ K V V ∗ ∗ ⊕ V ∗ . (3.8) f ,χ ψ χ ψχ Since the module X ( f ,χ) ⊂ H (K /K, W ) ⊗ does not depend on the lattice v f ,χ O T ⊂ V chosen to define W ,by(3.8) we may assume that T T ∗ ∗ ⊕ T ∗ as f ,χ f ,χ f ,χ f ,χ ψ χ ψχ G -modules, and so W W ∗ ∗ ⊕ W ∗ f ,χ ψ χ ψχ as G -modules. The result thus follows immediately by comparing the defining local con- ditions of the three Selmer groups involved at all places. 4 p-Adic L-functions In this section we introduce the two p-adic L-functions needed for our arguments, and prove Proposition 4.5 relating the two. 4.1 The BDP p-adic L-function Let f = a ( f )q ∈ S ( (N )) be an eigenform with p N and nebentypus ε ,let n 2 1 f n=1 K be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying (Heeg)and (spl), and fix an ideal N ⊂ O with cyclic quotient of order N.Let c be a positive integer prime to Np,and let χ be a finite order (1) −1 Hecke character of K such that χ N ∈ (c, N,ε ). cc Let F be a number field containing K, the Fourier coefficients of f , and the values of χ,and let be the completion of F at the prime of F above p induced by ı , with ring of integers O.Let and be the anticyclotomic Iwasawa algebras as in (2.3), and set ur ur ur ur ur := ⊗ Z O , := ⊗ , 0 Z O 0 p p 0 ur where Z is the completion of the ring of integers of the maximal unramified extension of Q . 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 335 The p-adic L-function in the next theorem was first constructed in [7] as a continuous ur function on characters of . Its realization as a measure in was given in [19] following an approach introduced in [9]. As it will suffice for our purposes, we describe below a multiple of that p-adic L-function by an element in . As in [19, §2.3], define ϑ ∈ K by D + −D D if 2 D , K K K ϑ := , where D = D /2else, and let and be CM periods attached to K as in [op. cit., §2.5]. p K ur Theorem 4.1 There exists an element L ( f ,χ) ∈ such that for every character ξ of crystalline at both v and v ¯ and corresponding to a Hecke character of K of infinity type (n, −n) with n ∈ Z , we have ≥1 4n −1 (n) (n + 1)ξ(N ) 2 −1 L ( f ,χ) (ξ ) = · · 1 − a ( f )χ ξ(v)p v p 4n 2n+1 2n−1 4(2π) (Im ϑ) 2 −1 +ε (p)χ ξ(v) p · L( f ,χξ, 1). Proof Let η be an anticyclotomic Hecke character of K of infinity type (1, −1) and conductor ur dividing cO , and define L ( f ,χ) ∈ by K v,η −1 L ( f , χ )(φ) = ηχ (a)N(a) η (φ|[a]) dμ v,η v × a [a]∈Pic(O ) for all continuous characters φ : → Q ,where: • f = a ( f )q is the p-depletion of f , pn • μ is the measure on Z corresponding (under the Amice transform) to the power series −1 N(a)c −D K ur f (t ) ∈ O t − 1 a a with t the Serre–Tate coordinate of the reduction of the point x on the Igusa tower of a a tame level N constructed in [19, (2.5)], × ab • η (x ) := η(rec (x )) with rec : Q = K → G the local reciprocity map at v, v v v p v K × −1 • φ|[a]: Z → Q is defined by (φ|[a])(x ) = φ(rec (x )σ ) with σ the Artin symbol v a p p a of a. ur The same calculation as in [19, Prop. 3.8] then shows that the element L ( f ,χ) ∈ defined by −1 L ( f , χ )(ξ ) := L ( f , χ )(η ξ) v v,η has, in view of the explicit Waldspurger formula in [29, Thm. 3.14], the stated interpolation property up to fixed element in . The result follows. Remark 4.2 We our later use, we note that the complex period ∈ C in Theorem 4.1 (which also agrees with that in [7, (5.1.16)]) is different from the complex period ∈ C defined in [23, p. 66] and [30, (4.4b)]. In fact, one has = 2πi · . ∞ K 123 336 A. Burungale et al. In terms of , the interpolation formula in Theorem 7.1 reads 4n −1 (n) (n + 1)ξ(N ) 2 −1 L ( f ,χ) (ξ ) = · · 1 − a ( f )χ ξ(v)p v p 4n 1−2n 2n−1 4(2π) (Im ϑ) 2 −1 +ε (p)χ ξ(v) p · L( f ,χξ, 1). Specialized to the range of critical values for the representation V , the Iwasawa– f ,χ Greenberg main conjecture [26] predicts the following. Conjecture 4.3 The module X ( f ,χ) is -torsion, and char (X ( f ,χ)) = (L ( f ,χ) ). v v In Theorem 5.2, we will explain the close link between Conjectures 2.2 and 4.3. 4.2 Katz p-adic L-functions We continue to assume that K satisfies (spl). Let c ⊂ O be an ideal prime to p,and let ∞ ∞ K(c p ) be the ray class field of K of conductor c p . We say that a Hecke character φ of K is self-dual if it satisfies φφ = N . Note that the infinity type of such φ is necessarily of the form (−1 + j , − j ) for some j ∈ Z. The p-adic L-function in the next theorem follows from the work of Katz [32], as extended by Hida–Tilouine [30](seealso[23]). Here we shall use the construction in [28], and similarly as in Theorem 4.1, it will suffice for our purposes to describe a fixed -multiple of the integral measure constructed in op. cit.. For any Hecke character ξ of K,wedenoteby L (ξ, s) the Hecke L-function L(ξ, s) with the Euler factors at the primes l|c removed. Theorem 4.4 Let φ be a character of Gal(K(c p )/K) corresponding to a self-dual Hecke character of infinity type (−1 + j , − j ), with j ∈ Z . Then there exists an element L (φ) ∈ ≥0 v ur such that for every character ξ of crystalline at both v and v ¯ and corresponding to a Hecke character of infinity type (n, −n) with n ≥ j, we have 2n−2 j +1 n− j (2π) −1 2 −1 L (φ)(ξ ) = · (n + 1 − j ) · · (1 − φ ξ(v)) · L (φ ξ, 0). v c 2n−2 j +1 n− j (Im ϑ) Proof Let L be the integral p-adic measure on Gal(K(cp )/K) constructed in [28, §4.8], so for every character χ of Gal(K(c p )/K) corresponding to a Hecke character of K of infinity type (k + , −) with k > ≥ 0we have k+2 (2π) −1 −1 L (χ ) = · (k + ) · · (1 − χ (v)p )(1 − χ(v) ¯ ) · L (χ , 0). v c k+2 (Im ϑ) Setting −1 ∗ L (φ)(ξ ) := L (φ · π ξ) v v for all characters ξ of ,where π ξ is the pullback of ξ under the projection π : Gal(K(cp )/K) → , the result follows immediately from [28, Prop. 4.9], noting that 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 337 −1 the condition n ≥ j assures that the infinity type of φ ξ , namely (1 + n − j , j − n),isof the form (1 + , −) with ≥ 0, and the p-adic multiplier that appears is −1 −1 −1 −1 2 (1 − φξ (v)p )(1 − φ ξ(v) ¯ ) = (1 − φ ξ(v) ¯ ) , since φ is self-dual and ξ is anticyclotomic. 4.3 Factorization As in Sect. 3.3, we now specialize to the case where f = θ for a Hecke character ψ of K of infinity type (−1, 0) and conductor f with cyclic quotient of norm prime to D ,sothat K satisfies hypothesis (Heeg) relative to N = D · N(f ). K ψ Fix an integer c > 0 prime to Np,and let χ be a finite order Hecke character of K such −1 (1) that χ N ∈ (c, N,ε ).Thenwehavea G -module decomposition cc f K V V ∗ ∗ ⊕ V ∗ , (4.1) f ,χ ψ χ ψχ where V is as in (3.1). Note that each of the characters ψχ and ψ χ are self-dual (see [6, f ,χ Rem. 3.7]). For the rest of this paper, we shall write L (φ) for the p-adic L-function in Theorem 4.4 constructed with the auxiliary tame conductor c = cN used in the proof. The following result is a manifestation of the Artin formalism arising from the decompo- sition (4.1). A similar result in shown in [6,Thm.3.17].Asweshall seeinSect. 7,thisisa counterpart on the analytic side of the Selmer group decomposition in Proposition 3.4. Proposition 4.5 Suppose that f = θ and χ are as above. Then 2 ∗ ∗ ∗ L ( f ,χ) = u · L (ψ χ ) · L (ψ χ ), v v v ur × where u is a unit in ( ) . Proof This will follow by comparing the values interpolated by each side of the desired ur equality, using that an element in is uniquely determined by its values at infinitely many characters. Let ξ be a character of of infinity type (n, −n) with n ∈ Z as in the statement of ≥1 Theorem 4.1. The decomposition (4.1) yields −1 ∗ −1 L( f ,χξ, 1) = L(ψ χ ξ N , 0) · L(ψ χξ N , 0) K K ∗ ∗ −1 ∗ −1 = L((ψ χ ) ξ, 0) · L((ψ χ ) ξ, 0), (4.2) ∗ ∗ ∗ using that ψχ and ψ χ are self-dual. The factors in (4.2) are interpolated by L (ψ χ )(ξ ) and L (ψ χ )(ξ ), respectively. Noting that ∗ ∗ −1 ∗ −1 −1 2 −1 (1 − (ψ χ ) ξ(v)) · (1 − (ψ χ ) ξ(v)) = 1 − a ( f )χ ξ(v)p + ε (p)χ ξ(v) p , p f ∗ ∗ ∗ in light of Theorem 4.4 for L (ψ χ ) and L (ψ χ ) (with j = 1and j = 0, respectively), v v we thus find 2n−1 2n+1 n−1 n (2π) (2π) p p L (ψ χ )(ξ ) · L (ψ χ )(ξ ) = · · (n) (n + 1) · · v v 2n−1 2n+1 n−1 n (Im ϑ) (Im ϑ) ∞ ∞ −1 2 −1 × 1 − a ( f )χ ξ(v)p + ε (p)χ ξ(v) p · L( f ,χξ, 1). p f The result now follows from Theorem 4.1 and Remark 4.2. 123 338 A. Burungale et al. Remark 4.6 Note that the trivial character is in the range of interpolation for L (ψ χ ),but ∗ ∗ lies outside the range of interpolation for both L (ψ χ ) and L ( f ,χ). v v 5 Explicit reciprocity law In this section we explain a variant of the explicit reciprocity law proved in [19] relating the -adic Heegner class z to the p-adic L-function L ( f ,χ) via a Perrin-Riou big logarithm f ,χ v map, and record a key consequence. We let f = θ and χ be as in Sect. 3.3. 1 + 1 For every w| p, the natural map H (K , F T ) → H (K , T ) induced by (3.3)is w f ,χ w f ,χ 0 − injective, since its kernel is H (K , F T ) = 0. Therefore, in view of (3.6)the imageof w f ,χ z under the restriction map f ,χ 1 1 loc : H (K, T ) → H (K , T ) w f ,χ w f ,χ 1 + ur ur is naturally contained in H (K , F T ).Let the compositum of and Q . w f ,χ w p ur 1 + ur ur Theorem 5.1 There is a -linear isomorphism Log : H (K , F T ) ⊗ → v v f ,χ such that Log loc (z ) = c · L ( f ,χ) v f ,χ v ur × for some c ∈ ( ) . ur ur Proof The existence of the map Log (with coefficients in , rather than ) follows v 0 from the two-variable extension by Loeffler–Zerbes [33] of Perrin-Riou’s big logarithm map [41], and the proof of the explicit reciprocity law (integrally) is given in [19, §5.3]. That ur the -linear map Log is injective follows from [33, Prop. 4.11], and so it becomes an ur ur isomorphism after extending scalars to = ⊗ . Similarlyasobservedin[15, 51], the equivalence between Conjectures 2.2 and 4.3 can be deduced from Theorem 5.1 using Poitou–Tate global duality. Theorem 5.2 Assume that the class z is not -torsion. Then the following are equivalent: f ,χ (a) rank S ( f ,χ) = rank X ( f ,χ) = 1, ord ord (a’) X ( f ,χ) is -torsion; and the following are equivalent: (b) char X ( f ,χ) ⊂ char S ( f ,χ)/ · z , ord -tors ord f ,χ (b’) char X ( f ,χ) ⊂ L ( f ,χ) , v v and similarly for the opposite divisibilities. In particular, Conjectures 2.2 and 4.3 are equiv- alent. Remark 5.3 Note that for the last claim in the theorem we are using the isomorphisms (3.5) and (3.6). Proof of Theorem 5.2 This can be extracted from the arguments in [16, App. A], but since our setting is slightly different (in particular, E (K )[p] is reducible) we provide the necessary details for the convenience of the reader. We explain the implications (a) ⇒ (a ) and (b ) ⇒ (b) (the only implication we will need later), and note that the other implication follows from the same ideas. 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 339 Following [16, §2.1], below we denote by S ( f ,χ) (resp. S ( f ,χ), etc.) the str,rel ord,rel Selmer group defined as in Sect. 3.1 but with the strict at v and relaxed at v (resp. ordinary at v and relaxed at v, etc.) local conditions, so in particular S ( f ,χ) = S ( f ,χ) by ord,ord ord definition. Assume (a), and consider the exact sequence from global duality loc 1 + 0 → S ( f ,χ) → S ( f ,χ) − − → H (K , F T ) → X ( f ,χ) str,ord ord v f ,χ rel,ord → X ( f ,χ) → 0. (5.1) ord Since z is not -torsion by hypothesis, by Theorem 5.1 it follows from (5.4)that f ,χ X ( f ,χ) has -rank one and S ( f ,χ) is -torsion. Since rel,ord str,ord rank X ( f ,χ) = 1 + rank X ( f ,χ) rel,ord ord,str (cf. [16, Lem. 2.3]), we conclude that X ( f ,χ) is -torsion, and from the exact sequence ord,str loc 1 + 0 → S ( f ,χ) → S ( f ,χ) − − → H (K , F T ) → X ( f ,χ) str,rel ord,rel v f ,χ rel,str → X ( f ,χ) →0(5.2) ord,str we conclude that X ( f ,χ) = X ( f ,χ) is -torsion, i.e., (a’) holds. rel,str v Now, in addition to (a), assume (b’). Then S ( f ,χ) is -torsion (since so is X ( f ,χ), str,rel v as we just showed), and since H (K /K , T ) is -torsion free as a consequence of (3.8) f ,χ and [1, Prop. 1.1.6], it follows that in fact S ( f ,χ) = 0. (5.3) str,rel Thus (5.2) reduces to the exact sequence loc 1 + 0 → S ( f ,χ) − − → H (K , F T ) → X ( f ,χ) → X ( f ,χ) → 0. (5.4) ord,rel v f ,χ v ord,str 1 + Since H (K , F T ) has -rank one, the assumption that z is not -torsion together v f ,χ f ,χ with Theorem 5.1 implies that S ( f ,χ) has -rank one. Since z ∈ S ( f ,χ) ⊂ ord,rel f ,χ ord S ( f ,χ), it follows that S ( f ,χ) also has -rank one, and by [16, Lem. 2.3(1)] so ord,rel ord does X ( f ,χ). ord Hence the quotient S ( f ,χ)/S ( f ,χ) is -torsion, and since it injects in ord,rel ord H (K , F T ) which is -torsion-free, this shows the equality S ( f ,χ) = S ( f ,χ). v f ,χ ord ord,rel Therefore the first two terms in the exact sequence (5.4) agree with the first two terms in the exact sequence loc 1 + 0 → S ( f ,χ) − − → H (K , F T ) → X ( f ,χ) → X ( f ,χ) → 0 (5.5) ord v f ,χ rel,ord ord (note that S ( f ,χ) as a consequence of (5.3)), and this yields str,ord 1 + S ( f ,χ) loc H (K , F T ) ord v v f ,χ 0 → − − → → coker(loc ) → 0. · z · loc (z ) f ,χ v f ,χ In view of Theorem 5.1, it follows that S ( f ,χ) ord ur char · char coker(loc ) = (L ( f , χ )).

The Iwasawa main conjecture for K wasprovedbyRubin[43] under some restrictions on p (including p O ) that were removed in subsequent work by Johnson-Leung–Kings [31] and Oukhaba–Viguié [39]. In this section we record a consequence of these results for the anticyclotomic Z -extension. Note that if ξ is a self-dual Hecke character in the sense of Sect. 4.2, then the Hecke −1 L-function L(ξ , s) is self-dual, with a functional equation relating its values at s and −s. In the following, by the sign of ξ we refer to the sign appearing in the functional equation −1 for L(ξ , s). Theorem 6.1 Let ψ be a Hecke character of K of infinity type (−1, 0), and let χ be a finite order of character of such that the product ψχ is self-dual. Assume that ψ χ has sign +1. Then: (i) X (ψ χ ) is -torsion and the following equality holds: ∗ ∗ char X (ψ χ ) = L (ψ χ ) . v v (ii) The following divisibility holds: ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ char X (ψ χ ) ⊂ L (ψ χ ) . v v Proof As noted in Remark 3.3, the Iwasawa module X (ψ χ ) recovers the Bloch–Kato Selmer group for ψχ over the anticyclotomic Z -extension K /K, and so the result of p ∞ part (i) follows from [1, Thm. 2.4.17], as extended in [2, Thm. 3.9]. (In these references, the hypothesis p > 3 arises from their appearance in [43], but as already mentioned this restriction can be removed thanks to [31, 39].) ∞ ∗ ∗ For (ii), put = OGal(K(c p )/K), = ⊗ , and define X (ψ χ ) and 0 0 O v ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ X (ψ χ ) similarly as X (ψ χ ) and X (ψ χ ) in Sect. 3.2 but with in place of .By v v v 0 0 the Iwasawa main conjecture for K, the module X (ψ χ ) is -torsion, with v 0 ∗ ∗ char X (ψ χ ) = L (ψ χ ) , (6.1) v v where L is the integral p-adic measure L appearing in the proof of Theorem 4.4,and v v ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ L (ψ χ) denotes its twist by ψ χ. Noting that X (ψ χ ) is the twist (in the sense of [46, v v 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 341 ∗ ∗−1 §6.1]) of X (ψ χ ) by ψψ , from Corollary 6.2.2 and Lemma 6.1.2 in loc. cit. we deduce ∗ ∗ from (6.1) that the module X (ψ χ ) is -torsion, with v 0 ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ char X (ψ χ ) = L (ψ χ ) . (6.2) v v The divisibility in (ii) now follows from (6.2) after descent. 7 The main results Recall that K is an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant −D < 0 satisfying (spl), with v the prime of K above p induced by our fixed embedding ı . Theorem 7.1 Let ψ be a Hecke character of K of infinity type (−1, 0) and conductor f with cyclic quotient of norm prime to D , and set f = θ , N = D · N(f ), N = d · f . K ψ K ψ Let c be a positive integer prime to N p, and let χ be a finite order character such that −1 (1) χ N ∈ (c, N,ε ). Assume that ψχ has sign −1.Then: cc f (i) The class z is not -torsion. f ,χ (ii) The module X ( f ,χ) is -torsion, and ur 2 char X ( f ,χ) ⊂ L ( f ,χ) . v v Proof Part (i) follows from [5, Thm. 1.1], so we focus on (ii). By the Gross–Zagier formula, the non-triviality of z implies that for all but finitely many finite order characters ξ : → f ,χ μ we have ord L( f ,χξ, s) = 1. (7.1) s=1 Fix any such ξ , and note that L( f ,χξ, s) factors as L( f ,χξ, s) = L(ψ χ ξ, s) · L(ψ χξ, s) (7.2) and has sign −1, since (Heeg) holds in our setting (see Sect. 4.3). By our sign assumption on ψχ, it follows that L(ψ χ, s) has sign +1 and from (7.1)and (7.2) we conclude ord L(ψ χ ξ, s) = 1, L(ψ χξ, 1) = 0. s=1 By an application of the Gross-Zagier formula [53]and [36,Thm.3.2]wehave ∗ ∗ ∗ ord L(ψ χ ξ, s) = 1 ⇒ corank H (K, W ) = 1, s=1 O ψ χ ξ and by [37,Thm.B]wehave ∗ 1 ∗ ∗ L(ψ χξ, 1) = 0 ⇒ corank H (K, W ) = 0, O ψχ ξ 1 1 ∗ ∗ ∗ where H (K, W ∗ ∗ ∗ ) and H (K, W ∗ ∗ ) are the Bloch–Kato Selmer groups for ψ χ ξ ψ χ ξ ψχ ξ f f ∗ ∗ and ψχ ξ , respectively, whose definition is recalled in Sect. 8 below. By the analogue of the decomposition (8.1) below, it follows that H (K , W ) has O- f ,χ ξ corank one, and therefore so does Sel (A /K). Varying ξ , by a variant of Mazur’s f ,χ ξ control theorem it follows that X(A /K ) (or equivalently, S ( f ,χ) and X ( f ,χ)) f ,χ ∞ ord ord has -rank one, and so by Theorem 5.2 we conclude that X ( f ,χ) is -torsion. Finally, by the decomposition in Proposition 3.4 and the factorization in Proposition 4.5, the divisibility in part (ii) of the theorem follows from Theorem 6.1. 123 342 A. Burungale et al. Corollary 7.2 Let f = θ and χ be an in Theorem 7.1, and assume that ψχ has sign −1. Then the modules S(A /K ) and X(A /K ) have both -rank one, and f ,χ ∞ f ,χ ∞ char (X(A /K ) ) ⊂ char S(A /K )/ · z . f ,χ ∞ -tors f ,χ ∞ f ,χ Proof That S(A /K ) and X(A /K ) have both -rank one has been shown in the f ,χ ∞ f ,χ ∞ course of the proof of Theorem 7.1, and the divisibility in the statement of Corollary 7.2 follows from Theorem 5.2 and the divisibility in part (ii) of Theorem 7.1. 8The p-converse In this section we deduce from our main results the proof of Theorem A in the Introduction. Let λ be a self-dual Hecke character of infinity type (−1, 0) and conductor f , and suppose that: (a) λ has sign −1; (b) λ has central character ω = η ; λ K (c) d f . Note that f is divisible by d = ( −D ) by condition (b). Since λ is self-dual, f is K K λ λ invariant under complex conjugation, so by condition (c) we can write f = (c)d for a unique c > 0. We shall apply Corollary 7.2 for a pair (ψ, χ ) which is good for λ in the following sense: (G1) ψ has infinity type (−1, 0) and conductor f with cyclic quotient of norm prime to pD ; −1 (1) (G2) χ is a finite order character such that χ N ∈ (c, N,ε ),where f = θ and cc f ψ N = f d ; (G3) ψχ = λ; ∗−1 −1 (G4) L(ψ χ , 0) = 0. The existence of good pairs for λ is shown in [6, Lem. 3.29] building on the non-vanishing results of Greenberg [25] and Rohrlich [42]. Fix a good pair (ψ, χ ) for λ,and let F be a number field of containing the values of ψ and χ.Let P be the prime of F above p induced by our fixed embedding ı ,let be the completion of F at P,and let O be the ring of integers of . Similarly as in (3.2), for any Hecke character ξ put W := T ⊗ D ξ ξ O where D = /O.Let a finite set of places of K containing ∞, p,and theprimesof K dividing the conductor of λ. Denote by H (K, W ∗ ∗ ) the Bloch–Kato Selmer group for ψ χ ∗ ∗ ψ χ : H (K , W ∗ ∗ ) v ψ χ 1 1 H (K, W ∗ ∗ ) = ker H (K /K, W ∗ ∗ ) → ψ χ ψ χ ∗ ∗ H (K , W ) v ψ χ div 1 1 ur ×H (K , W ∗ ∗ ) × H (K , W ∗ ∗ ) , v ψ χ ψ χ w∈,w p 123 ∞ p -Selmer groups and rational points on CM elliptic curves 343 1 1 ur ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ where H (K , W ) ⊂ H (K , W ) is the maximal divisible submodule and K v ψ χ div v ψ χ denotes the maximal unramified extension of K .

Finally, let V be as in (3.1). f ,χ Lemma 8.1 In the above setting, we have 1 1 corank Sel ∞ (A /K) = corank H (K, W ∗ ∗ ) + corank H (K, W ∗ ). O P f ,χ O ψ χ O ψχ f f Proof It is a standard fact (see e.g. [8]), Sel ∞ (A /K) agrees with the Bloch–Kato Selmer P f ,χ group 1 1 H (K, W ) ⊂ H (K, W ), f ,χ f ,χ where W := T ⊗ D for the G -stable O-lattice T ⊂ V coming from T A . f ,χ f ,χ O K f ,χ f ,χ P f In turn (see e.g. [27, Prop. 2.2]), the local conditions defining H (K, W ) at the primes w f ,χ of K above p can be described in terms of the filtration (3.3), namely: H (K , W ) w f ,χ 1 1 H (K, W ) = ker H (K /K, W ) → f ,χ f ,χ H (K , F W ) w w f ,χ div w| p 1 ur × H (K , W ), f ,χ w∈,w p + + where F W := F T ⊗ D.

The following recovers Theorem A in the introduction as a special case. Theorem 8.2 Let λ be a self-dual Hecke character of K of infinity type (−1, 0) with central character ω = η and whose conductor f satisfies d f .Then λ K K λ λ corank Sel (B /K) = 1 ⇒ ord L(λ, s) = 1. O λ s=1 Proof By the p-parity conjecture [35], if corank Sel (B /K) = 1then λ has sign −1. O λ Let (ψ, χ ) be a good pair for λ, i.e., satisfying conditions (G1)–(G4) above, so in particular ∗−1 −1 L(ψ χ , 0) = 0. (8.2) 123 344 A. Burungale et al. By Theorem 4.4, the nonvanishing (8.2) implies that the p-adic L-function L (ψ χ ) does not vanish at trivial character, so by Theorem 4.4 it follows that ∗ ∗ # X (ψ χ )/(γ − 1)X (ψ χ ) < ∞, v v where γ ∈ is any topological generator. Since X (ψ χ ) corresponds to the Bloch–Kato ∗ 1 Selmer group for ψχ over K /K (see Remark 3.3), it follows that corank H (K, W ∗ ) = ∞ O ψχ ∞ ∗ ∗ 0. Since Sel (B /K) H (K, W ), from Lemma 8.1 we thus obtain λ ψ χ ∞ ∞ corank Sel (B /K) = 1 ⇒ corank Sel (A /K) = 1. (8.3) O λ O f ,χ P P Now, Corollary 7.2 together with a variant of Mazur’s control theorem immediately yields the implication corank Sel (A /K) = 1 ⇒ z = 0 ∈ S (A /K) ⊗ .

By definition, the class z is a nonzero multiple of f ,χ ,0 χ(σ ) · y , f ,c σ ∈Gal(K )/K where y is the Heegner class introduced in Sect. 2.2,and so f ,c z = 0 ⇐⇒ ord L( f ,χ, s) = 1 (8.5) f ,χ ,0 s=1 by virtue of the general Gross–Zagier formula [20, 53]. Finally, we note once more that (3.8) yields the factorization L( f ,χ, s) = L(ψ χ , s) · L(ψ χ, s). Combining (8.3), (8.4), and (8.5) we thus obtain corank Sel (B /K) = 1 ⇒ ord L( f ,χ, s) = 1 O λ s=1 ⇒ ord L(ψ χ , s) = 1, s=1 using (8.2) and the above factorization for the last implication. Since ψχ = λ, this concludes the proof. Acknowledgements We thank Matthias Flach, Jacob Ressler and Qiyao Yu for helpful discussions.
