Selmer groups for elliptic curves in l d -extensions of function fields of characteristic p
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 59 (2009) no. 6, pp. 2301-2327.

Let F be a function field of characteristic p>0, /F a l d -extension (for some prime lp) and E/F a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of the r-parts of the Selmer groups (r any prime) in the subextensions of via appropriate versions of Mazur’s Control Theorem. As a consequence we prove that the limit of the Selmer groups is a cofinitely generated (in some cases cotorsion) module over the Iwasawa algebra of /F.

Soit F un corps de fonctions de caractéristique p>0, /F une l d -extension (pour un nombre premier lp) et E/F une courbe elliptique non-isotrivale. Nous étudions le comportement des r-parties des groupes de Selmer pour les sous-extensions de par des variantes du Théorème de contrôle de Mazur. Conséquemment, nous démontrons que la limite des groupes de Selmer est un module finiment co-engendré (parfois de cotorsion) sur l’algèbre d’Iwasawa de /F.
