On the Iwasawa Invariants of Mazur–Tate Elements of Elliptic Curves at Additive Primes

Abstract We investigate the $\lambda$-invariants of Mazur–Tate elements of elliptic curves defined over the field of rational numbers at primes of additive reduction. We explain their growth and how these invariants relate to other better understood invariants depending on the potential reduction type. We give examples and a conjecture for the additive potentially supersingular case, supported by computational data from Sage in this setting. Further, we extend our results to $\lambda$-invariants of Mazur–Tate elements of cuspidal Hecke eigenforms associated with potentially ordinary p-adic Galois representations.
