Greenberg's μ=0 conjecture for elliptic curves over ℚ

About 5 years old · traced to

Let E/QE/\mathbf{Q} be an elliptic curve, and let pp be an odd prime of good ordinary reduction. The representation E[p]E[p] is irreducible as a Galois module when it has no nontrivial Galois-stable subspaces. Greenberg's μ=0 conjecture. If E[p]E[p] is irreducible, then the μ\mu-invariant of EE over the cyclotomic Zp\mathbf{Z}_p-extension of Q\mathbf{Q} satisfies μ=0\mu=0. This generalizes the classical μ=0\mu=0 conjecture to elliptic curves; it is a longstanding open problem, although the paper proves μ≤1\mu\leq 1 for all but finitely many good ordinary primes.
