$p$-adic $L$-functions and Selmer varieties associated to elliptic curves with complex multiplication

Abstract

We show how the finiteness of integral points on an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with complex multiplication can be accounted for by the nonvanishing of $L$-functions that leads to bounds for dimensions of Selmer varieties.
