• Akashi series
• characteristic element

In this paper, we give a criterion for the dual Selmer group of an elliptic curve which has either good ordinary reduction or multiplicative reduction at every prime above p to satisfy the M-H(G)-conjecture. As a by-product of our calculations, we are able to define the Akashi series of the dual Selmer groups assuming the conjectures of Mazur and Schneider. Previously, the Akashi series are defined under the stronger assumption that the dual Selmer group satisfies the M-H(G)-conjecture. We then establish a criterion for the vanishing of the dual Selmer groups using the Akashi series. We will apply this criterion to prove some results on the characteristic elements of the dual Selmer groups. Our methods in this paper are inspired by the work of Coates-Schneider-Sujatha and can be extended to the Greenberg Selmer groups attached to other ordinary representations, for instance, those coming from a p-ordinary modular form.
