The arithmetic of the adjoint, or symmetric square, of an elliptic curve over \(\mathbb Q\) (or, more generally, of a modular form) is a particularly interesting case from the viewpoint of Iwasawa theory, not least because of its close connection with modularity-lifting problems and hence with Fermat's last theorem. In this talk I will describe ongoing work with David Loeffler in which we prove the cyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture in this setting, using Euler systems for Hilbert modular surfaces.
