"An integral Euler system for the Rankin-Selberg product of two supersingular modular forms"

One can construct an Euler system, a collection of Galois cohomology classes, associated to the Rankin-Selberg product of two eigenforms. When the forms are supersingular, the Euler system has unbounded denominators. In this talk, we will explore how one can control the growth of these denominators using Perrin-Riou's theory of higher rank Euler systems. Bounding the denominators enables us to deduce some important results in Iwasawa theory. Time permitting, we will see how the ideas can be used to deduce similar results for the Symmetric square representation of a supersingular modular form.

This is based on a joint work with Kazim Buyukboduk, Antonio Lei and David Loeffler.
