Let $p$
be an odd prime, $f$
be a $p$
-ordinary newform of weight $k$
and $h$
be a normalized cuspidal $p$
-ordinary Hecke eigenform of weight $\ell < k$
. Let $p$
be an Eisenstein prime for $h$
i.e. the residual Galois representation of $h$
at $p$
is reducible. In this talk, we show that the $p$
-adic $L$
-function and the characteristic ideal of the $p^{\infty}$
-Selmer group of the Rankin-Selberg convolution of $f$
, $h$
generate the same ideal modulo $p$
in the Iwasawa algebra i.e. the Rankin-Selberg Iwasawa main conjecture for $f \otimes h$
holds modulo $p$
. This is a joint work with Somnath Jha and Sudhanshu Shekhar.
