Iwasawa theory for $\mathrm{U}(r,s)$, Bloch-Kato conjecture and Functional Equation

Abstract

In this paper we develop a new method to study Iwasawa theory and Eisenstein families for unitary groups $\mathrm{U}(r,s)$ of general signature over a totally real field $F$. As a consequence we prove that for a motive corresponding to a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation $\pi$ on $\mathrm{U}(r,s{)}_{/F}$ which is ordinary at $p$, twisted by a Hecke character, if its Selmer group has rank $0$, then the corresponding central $L$-value is nonzero. This generalizes a result of Skinner-Urban in their ICM 2006 report in the special case when $F=\mathbb{Q}$ and the motive is conjugate self-dual. Along the way we also obtain $p$-adic functional equations for the corresponding $p$-adic $L$-functions and $p$-adic families of Klingen Eisenstein series. Our method does not involve computing Fourier-Jacobi coefficients (as opposed to previous work which only work in low rank cases, e.g. $\mathrm{U}(1,1)$, $\mathrm{U}(2,0)$ and $\mathrm{U}(1,0)$) whose automorphic interpretation is unclear in general.
