We construct a mod $\ell$ congruence between a Klingen Eisenstein series (associated to a classical newform $\phi$ of weight $k$) and a Siegel cusp form $f$ with irreducible Galois representation. We use this congruence to show…

This is an exposition of our joint work with Kakde, Silliman, and Wang, in which we prove a version of Ribet's Lemma for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ in the residually indistinguishable case. We suppose we are given a Galois representation taking values…

Let $N$ be a positive integer and $K$ be a number field. Suppose that $f_1,f_2 \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ are two newforms such that their residual Galois representations at $2$ are isomorphic. Let $\omega_2: G_{\mathbb Q} \rightarrow {\mathbb…

In this article I study the variation of Selmer groups in families of modular Galois representations that are congruent modulo a fixed prime $p \geq 5$. Motivated by analogies with Goldfeld's conjecture on ranks in quadratic twist families…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $f$ a modular form. We consider the $\mathbb{F}_p$-valued Galois representation $\bar{\rho}_f$ attached to $f$ and its twist $\bar{\rho}_{f, D}$ by the quadratic character $\chi_D$ corresponding to a…

For a number field $F$ and an odd prime number $p,$ let $\tilde{F}$ be the compositum of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $F$ and $\tilde{\Lambda}$ the associated Iwasawa algebra. Let $G_{S}(\tilde{F})$ be the Galois group over $\tilde{F}$…

Let $p$ be prime, and $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$. When $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of degree $p^n$, we determine the $\mathbb{Z}/p^m\mathbb{Z}[\text{Gal}(K/F)]$-module structure of $K^\times/K^{\times p^m}$. With at most one exception, each…

Let E be a CM number field, F its maximal totally real subfield, c the generator of Gal(E/F), p an odd prime totally split in E, and S a finite set of places of E containing the places above p. Let r : G_{E,S} --> GL_3(F_p^bar) be a…

The Iwasawa $\mu$-invariant of the Selmer group of a residually reducible Galois representation arising from a Hecke eigencuspform is studied. Furthermore, certain Iwasawa-invariants refining the $\mu$-invariant are defined and analyzed. As…

Let F be a totally real field, v an unramified place of F dividing p and rho a continuous irreducible two-dimensional mod p representation of G_F such that the restriction of rho to G_{F_v} is reducible and sufficiently generic. If rho is…

Given a number field $F$, a finite group $G$ and an indeterminate $T$, {\it{a $G$-parametric extension over $F$}} is a finite Galois extension $E/F(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/F$ regular that has all the Galois extensions of $F$ with…

Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime. We construct modular Galois representations for which the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of the $p$-primary Selmer group (i.e., $\lambda$-invariant) over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension is large. More precisely, for…

In this paper, we study the fine Selmer groups of two congruent Galois representations over an admissible $p$-adic Lie extension. We show that under appropriate congruence conditions, if the dual fine Selmer group of one is pseudo-null, so…
