Research

My interests are in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry, specially, Euler systems, Circular distributions, p-adic L-function, Kummer-Vandiver conjecture, Greenberg's conjecture, the Galois module structures of ideal class groups and units of number fields, Iwasawa Lambda-Modules. In special, using the argument of Rubin's Euler systems, I am interested in defining a gradation associated to the filtration of higher special units which gives an isomorphism, as a Galois module, with the ideal class group over an abelian field.
