Abstract: Let $pgeq5$ be a prime. We construct modular Galois representations for which the $mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of the $p$-primary Selmer group (i.e., $lambda$-invariant) over the cyclotomic $mathbb{Z}_p$-extension is large. More precisely, for any natural number $n$, one constructs a modular Galois representation such that the associated $lambda$-invariant is $geqn$. The method is based on the study of congruences between modular forms, and leverages results of Greenberg and Vatsal. Given a modular form $f_1$ satisfying suitable conditions, one constructs a congruent modular form $f_2$ for which the $lambda$-invariant of the Selmer group is large. A key ingredient in acheiving this is the Galois theoretic lifting result of Fakruddin-Khare-Patrikis, which extends previous work of Ramakrishna. The results are subject to certain additional hypotheses, and are illustrated by explicit examples.
