We show a p -parity result in a D 2 p n -extension of number fields L / K ( p ≥ 5 ) for the twist 1 ⊕ η ⊕ τ : W ( E / K , 1 ⊕ η ⊕ τ ) = ( - 1 ) 1 ⊕ η ⊕ τ , X p ( E / L ) , where E is an elliptic curve over K , η and τ are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree 2 of Gal ( L / K ) = D 2 p n , and X p ( E / L ) is the p -Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between ε 0 -factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the p -parity conjecture (using the machinery of the Dokchitser brothers).

The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between $ \varepsilon _{0}$-factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3).
