The $\ell$-parity conjecture over the constant quadratic extension
Abstract
For a prime and an abelian variety over a global field , the -parity conjecture predicts that, in accordance with the ideas of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, the -corank of the -Selmer group and the analytic rank agree modulo . Assuming that , we prove that the -parity conjecture holds for the base change of to the constant quadratic extension if is odd, coprime to , and does not divide the degree of every polarization of . The techniques involved in the proof include the \'{e}tale cohomological interpretation of Selmer groups, the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula, and the study of the behavior of local root numbers in unramified extensions.
