Abstract

In this paper, we study the Selmer groups of two congruent Galois representations over an admissible pp-adic Lie extension. We will show that under appropriate congruence condition, if the dual Selmer group of one satisfies the \MH(G)\M_H(G)-property, so will the other. In the event that the \MH(G)\M_H(G)-property holds, and assuming certain further hypothesis on the decomposition of primes in the pp-adic Lie extension, we compare the ranks of the π\pi-free quotient of the two dual Selmer groups. We then apply our results to compare the characteristic elements attached to the Selmer groups. We also study the variation of the ranks of the π\pi-free quotient of the dual Selmer groups of specialization of a big Galois representation. We emphasis that our results \textit{do not} assume the vanishing of the μ\mu-invariant.
