Abstract

We construct a mod \ell congruence between a Klingen Eisenstein series (associated to a classical newform ϕ\phi of weight kk) and a Siegel cusp form ff with irreducible Galois representation. We use this congruence to show non-vanishing of the Bloch-Kato Selmer group Hf1(Q,ad0ρϕ(2k)Q/Z)H^1_f(\mathbf{Q}, \textrm{ad}^0\rho_{\phi}(2-k)\otimes \mathbf{Q}_{\ell}/\mathbf{Z}_{\ell}) under certain assumptions and provide an example. We then prove an R=dvrR=dvr theorem for the Fontaine-Laffaille universal deformation ring of ρf\overline{\rho}_f under some assumptions, in particular, that the residual Selmer group Hf1(Q,ad0ρϕ(k2))H^1_f(\mathbf{Q}, \textrm{ad}^0\overline{\rho}_{\phi}(k-2)) is cyclic. For this we prove a result about extensions of Fontaine-Laffaille modules. We end by formulating conditions for when Hf1(Q,ad0ρϕ(k2))H^1_f(\mathbf{Q}, \textrm{ad}^0\overline{\rho}_{\phi}(k-2)) is non-cyclic and the Eisenstein ideal is non-principal.
