We prove the μ-part of the main conjecture for modular forms along the anticyclotomic Zp-extension of a quadratic imaginary field. Our proof consists of first giving an explicit formula for the algebraic μ-invariant, and then using results of Ribet and Takahashi showing that our formula agrees with Vatsal’s formula for the analytic μ-invariant.
