Let \\rho_f be the l-adic Galois representation attached to f. In this paper we provide evidence for the Bloch-Kato conjecture for a twist of the adjoint motif of \\rho_f in the following way. Let L(f,s) denote the symmetric square L-function of f. We prove that (under certain conditions) the l-adic valuation of the algebraic part of L(f, k) is no greater than the l-adic valuation of the order of S, where S is (the Pontryagin dual of) the Selmer group attached to the Galois module \\ad^0\\rho_f|_{G_K} (-1), and K= Q(i). Our method uses an idea of Ribet in that we introduce an intermediate step and produce congruences between CAP and non-CAP modular forms on the unitary group U(2,2).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-10-12T20:51:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F33", "11F55", "11F67", "11F80" ], "keywords": [ "bloch-kato conjecture", "l-adic valuation", "elliptic cuspidal eigenform", "symmetric square l-function", "non-cap modular forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 57, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0710.2549K" } } }
