Abstract
There is a known analogy between growth questions for class groups and for Selmer groups. If is a prime, then the -torsion of the ideal class group grows unboundedly in -extensions of a fixed number field , so one expects the same for the -Selmer group of a nonzero abelian variety over . This Selmer group analogue is known in special cases and we prove it in general, along with a version for arbitrary global fields.
