Title: On the vanishing of Selmer groups for odd orthogonal Galois representations Abstract: Let $pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $Sp_2n$ over $mathbb{Q}$ which is holomorphic discrete series at infinity, and $chi$ a Dirichlet character. Then one can attach to $pi$ an orthogonal $p$-adic Galois representation $rho$ of dimension $2n+1$. Assume $rho$ is irreducible, […]
