Explicit Selmer groups for cyclic covers of ℙ¹

Michael Stoll, Ronald van Luijk (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny ϕ: J → J, the Selmer group S e l ϕ ( J , k ) is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group H ¹ ( G a l ( k s / k ) , J [ ϕ ] ) , defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a cyclic cover of ℙ¹ of prime degree p, the Selmer group has a quotient by a subgroup of order at most p that is isomorphic to the ‘fake Selmer group’, whose definition is more amenable to explicit computations. In this paper we define in the same setting the ‘explicit Selmer group’, which is isomorphic...
