Gross, with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers of the field $K = \\mathbb{Q} (\\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is any prime $\\equiv 7 \\mod 8$. Some of these non-vanishing theorems were proven earlier by D. Rohrlich using complex analytic methods, but others are completely new. It is essential for the proofs to study the Iwasawa theory of the higher dimensional abelian variety with complex multiplication which is obtained by taking the restriction of scalars to $K$ of the Gross elliptic curve.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2018-12-05T10:38:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R23", "11G40", "11G05" ], "keywords": [ "complex multiplication", "non-vanishing theorems", "higher dimensional abelian variety", "iwasawa theory", "gross elliptic curve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
