Bessel periods and Selmer groups over ordinary Rankin--Selberg eigenvariety

Abstract: We introduce the notion of ordinary distributions for unitary groups and their Rankin--Selberg products, based on which we (re)define the ordinary eigenvarieties. In both definite and indefinite cases, we construct the Bessel period on the Rankin--Selberg eigenvariety as an ordinary distribution and as an element in the Selmer group of ordinary distributions, respectively. We then propose an Iwasawa type conjecture relating the vanishing divisor of the Bessel period and the characteristic divisor of the Selmer group of the associated Rankin--Selberg Galois module over the eigenvariety, and prove one side of the divisibility under certain conditions.
