2-Selmer companion modular forms
Abstract
Let be a positive integer and be a number field. Suppose that are two newforms such that their residual Galois representations at are isomorphic. Let be the -adic cyclotomic character. Then, under suitable hypotheses, we have shown that for every quadratic character of and each critical twist , the residual Greenberg -Selmer groups of and over are isomorphic. This generalizes the corresponding result of Mazur-Rubin on -Selmer companion elliptic curves. Conversely, if the difference of the residual Greenberg (respectively Bloch-Kato) -Selmer ranks of and is bounded independent of every quadratic character of , then under suitable hypotheses we have shown that the residual Galois representations at of and are isomorphic as -modules. The corresponding result for elliptic curves was a conjecture of Mazur-Rubin, which was proved by M. Yu.
