Congruences among modular forms on U(2,2) and the Bloch-Kato conjecture
Let be a positive integer divisible by 4, a prime, an elliptic cuspidal eigenform (ordinary at ) of weight , level 4 and non-trivial character. In this paper we provide evidence for the Bloch-Kato conjecture for the motives and , where is the motif attached to . More precisely, we prove that under certain conditions the -adic valuation of the algebraic part of the symmetric square -function of evaluated at provides a lower bound for the -adic valuation of the order of the Pontryagin...
