Mazur–Tate's leading-term conjecture for elliptic curves

Let EE be an elliptic curve, let LL be an abelian number field with Galois group GL=Gal(L/\mathdsQ)G_L=\operatorname{Gal}(L/\mathds{Q}), and let mm' be its conductor. Assume that mm' is a product of primes at which EE has split-multiplicative reduction. For each such prime \ell, let qE,\mathdsQ×q_{E,\ell}\in\mathds{Q}_\ell^\times be the Tate multiplicative period, let Tam=ord(qE,)\operatorname{Tam}_\ell=\operatorname{ord}_\ell(q_{E,\ell}), and let rec:\mathdsQ×DL()GL\operatorname{rec}_\ell: \mathds{Q}_\ell^\times\to\mathcal{D}^{(\ell)}_L\subseteq G_L be the local reciprocity map. Let IR,GLI_{\mathcal{R},G_L} be the augmentation ideal and sp(m)\operatorname{sp}(m') the number of prime divisors of mm'.

Mazur–Tate leading-term conjecture. One has

θLMTθ\mathdsQMTm(Tam1(rec(qE,)1))(modIR,GLsp(m)+1).\theta_L^\mathrm{MT}\equiv\theta_{\mathds{Q}}^\mathrm{MT}\cdot\prod_{\ell\mid m'}\left(\operatorname{Tam}_\ell^{-1}\cdot(\operatorname{rec}_\ell(q_{E,\ell})-1)\right)\pmod{I_{\mathcal{R},G_L}^{\operatorname{sp}(m')+1}}.

This predicts the leading augmentation-ideal term of the Mazur–Tate element after adjoining split-multiplicative primes. The source presents it as a conjecture of Mazur and Tate; no general resolution is stated.
