Abstract

The study of nn-Selmer group of elliptic curve over number field in recent past has led to the discovery of some deep results in the arithmetic of elliptic curves. Given two elliptic curves E1E_1 and E2E_2 over a number field KK, Mazur-Rubin\cite{mr} have defined them to be {\it nn-Selmer companion} if for every quadratic twist χ\chi of KK, the nn-Selmer groups of E1χE_1^\chi and E2χE_2^\chi over KK are isomorphic. Given a prime pp, they have given sufficient conditions for two elliptic curves to be prp^r-Selmer companion in terms of mod-prp^r congruences between the curves. We discuss an analogue of this for Bloch-Kato prp^r-Selmer group of modular forms. We compare the Bloch-Kato Selmer groups of a modular form respectively with the Greenberg Selmer group when the modular form is pp-ordinary and with the signed Selmer group of Lei-Loeffler-Zerbes when the modular form is non-ordinary at pp. We also indicate the corresponding results over \Q\cyc\Q_\cyc and its relation with the well known congruence results of the special values of the corresponding LL-functions due to Vatsal.
