In this paper we examine the Iwasawa theory of modular elliptic curves E defined over Q without semi-stable reduction at p. By constructing p-adic L-functions at primes of additive reduction, we formulate a “Main Conjecture” linking this L-function with a certain Selmer group for E over the Zp-extension. Thus the leading term is expressible in terms of III$_E$, E(Q)$_tors$ and a p-adic regulator term.
