Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q. We fix a prime number p, and suppose that K∞/Qis the cyclotomicZp-extension. PutΛ= Zp [[Gal (K∞/Q)]]. A remarkable theorem by Rubin (CM case) and Kato (non CM case)[24][14], which was a conjecture of Mazur, states that the Pontrjagin dual of the p-primary component of the Tate Shafarevich group of E over K∞ is a torsion Λ-module if E has ordinary reduction at p. By this fact together with Mazur’s control theorem [17] and the general theory of torsion Λ-modules which goes back to Iwasawa, we know the asymptotic behaviour of the Tate Shafarevich groups over Kn as n→∞ where Kn denotes the subfield of K∞ such that [Kn: Q]= pn. Namely, if the p-primary components of the Tate Shafarevich groups of E over Kn are finite and if we denote the order by pen, we know that there exist λ, µ∈ Z≥ 0 and ν∈ Z such that en= λn+ µpn+ ν for all sufficiently large n. This is, of course, an analogue of Iwasawa’s famous formula for the class numbers of the intermediate fields in a Zp-extension [12]. But if E does not have potentially ordinary reduction, we know almost nothing about the asymptotic behaviour of the Tate Shafarevich groups1. Our aim in this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour in the case that E has supersingular reduction at p.(See [3] Chap. 4 and [6] § 5 for more details on this problem.)In this part I, we consider the simplest situation. Suppose that E has supersingular reduction at p. Let L (E, s) be the L-function of E. Our main assumption is that p does not divide L (E, 1)/ΩE where ΩE is the Néron period. If the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is true, this would
