We extend Kobayashi始s formulation of Iwasawa
theory for elliptic curves at supersingular primes to include the case , where is the trace of Frobenius. To do this, we algebraically construct
p-adic
L-functions and with the good growth properties of the classical Pollack
p-adic
L-functions that in fact match them exactly when and
p is odd. We then generalize Kobayashi始s methods to define two Selmer groups and and formulate a main conjecture, stating that each characteristic ideal of the duals of these Selmer groups is generated by our
p-adic
L-functions and . We then use results by Kato to prove a divisibility statement.
