Abstract

Let ρ\rho be the pp-adic Galois representation attached to a cuspidal, regular algebraic automorphic representation of GLn\mathrm{GL}_n of unitary type. Under very mild hypotheses on ρ\rho, we prove the vanishing of the (Bloch--Kato) adjoint Selmer group of ρ\rho. We obtain definitive results for the adjoint Selmer groups associated to non-CM Hilbert modular forms and elliptic curves over totally real fields.
