Euler system of elliptic units

ID: euler-system-of-elliptic-units

Elliptic-unit distribution gives norm-compatible units indexed by auxiliary squarefree ray moduli, with norm factor at a newly added prime. Kolyvagin derivative operators turn these units into classes with controlled valuations, and suitable auxiliary primes chosen using Chebotarev density theorem bound class-group characteristic ideals. The construction supplies the difficult divisibility in the CM Iwasawa main conjecture.
