Selmer groups of elliptic curves in degree $p$ extensions

Number Theory 2014-01-15 v1

Abstract

We study the growth of the Galois invariants of the pp-Selmer group of an elliptic curve in a degree pp Galois extension. We show that this growth is determined by certain local cohomology groups and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for these groups to be trivial. Under certain hypotheses this allows us to give necessary and sufficient conditions for there to be growth in the full pp-Selmer group in a degree pp Galois extension.
