Abstract

In this paper, we study the pp-Selmer groups in the family of pp-twists of an elliptic curve EE over a number field KK. We prove that if E/KE/K is an elliptic curve over a number field KK, and if dd is congruent to the dimension of the Selmer group of E/KE/K modulo 22 and is greater than that dimension, then there exist infinitely many characters χHom(GK,μp)\chi \in \text{Hom}(G_K, \mu_p) such that dimFp(Selp(E/K,χ))=d\text{dim}_{\mathbb{F}_p}(\text{Sel}_p(E/K, \chi)) = d under certain conditions.
