Multiplicities in Selmer groups and root numbers for Artin twists

Abstract: Let

K / F

be a finite Galois extension of number fields and

s i g m a

be an absolutely irreducible, self-dual representation of

m a t h r m G a l (K / F)

. Let

p

be an odd prime and consider two elliptic curves

E_{1}, E_{2}

with good, ordinary reduction at primes above

p

and equivalent mod-

p

Galois representations. In this article, we study the variation of the parity of the multiplicities of

s i g m a

in the representation space associated to the

p^{i} n f t y

-Selmer group of

E_{i}

over

K

. We also compare the root numbers for the twist of

E_{i} / F

by

s i g m a

and show that the

p

-parity conjecture holds for the twist of

E_{1} / F

by

s i g m a

if and only if it holds for the twist of

E_{2} / F

by

s i g m a

. We also express Mazur-Rubin-Nekov'av{r}'s arithmetic local constants in terms of certain local Iwasawa invariants.
