TL;DR

This paper extends Iwasawa theory to $bZ_p^d$-towers of digraphs, relating algebraic invariants to $p$-adic $L$-functions, and analyzing the growth and defect of associated groups.

Contribution

It formulates and proves Iwasawa main conjectures for digraphs, connecting algebraic groups to $p$-adic $L$-functions and introducing the concept of defect in this context.

Findings

Proved Iwasawa main conjectures for Picard and Bowen--Franks groups in digraph towers.

Established the growth rate of the $ ext{l}$-part of these groups.

Introduced and analyzed the concept of defect in algebraic and analytic ranks.

Abstract

Let $p$ and $\ell$ be prime numbers, and $d\ge1$ an integer. We formulate and prove Iwasawa main conjectures of the Picard groups and Bowen--Franks groups in $\mathbb{Z}_p^d$-towers of digraphs. In particular, we relate the $\ell$ parts of these groups to certain $p$-adic $L$-functions defined using a voltage assignment. In the case where $\ell$ is not equal to $p$, we make use of the recent work of Bandini--Longhi to define the appropriate characteristic ideals. We also prove the growth of the $\ell$-part of these groups, generalizing classical results of Sinnott and Washington on ideal class groups of number fields. Finally, we introduce the concept of defect, which compare certain algebraic and analytic ranks related to Bowen--Franks groups and study their asymptotic behaviour in a $\mathbb{Z}_p^d$-tower.
