Abstract

Let $K={\mathbb {Q}}(\sqrt {-7})$ and $\mathcal {O}$ the ring of integers in $K$. The prime $2$ splits in $K$, say $2{\mathcal {O}}={\mathfrak {p}}\cdot {\mathfrak {p}}^*$. Let $A$ be an elliptic curve defined over $K$ with complex multiplication by $\mathcal {O}$. Assume that $A$ has good ordinary reduction at both $\mathfrak {p}$ and ${\mathfrak {p}}^*$. Write $K_\infty$ for the field generated by the $2^\infty$–division points of $A$ over $K$ and let ${\mathcal {G}}={\mathrm {Gal}}(K_\infty /K)$. In this paper, by adopting a congruence formula of Yager and De Shalit, we construct the two-variable $2$-adic $L$-function on $\mathcal {G}$. Then by generalizing De Shalit’s local structure theorem to the two-variable setting, we prove a two-variable elliptic analogue of Iwasawa’s theorem on cyclotomic fields. As an application, we prove that every branch of the two-variable measure has Iwasawa $\mu$ invariant zero.
