Partial Bloch--Kato Selmer groups of $B$-pairs as delta functors
Rustam Steingart
TL;DR
The paper addresses extending partial Bloch–Kato Selmer groups from degree one to higher cohomological degrees within the $B$-pair framework by developing a cohomological delta-functor structure. It introduces and analyzes $H^i_{g,J}(W)$ for $B$-pairs on the subcategory of $J$-de Rham objects with non-positive Hodge–Tate weights, using twists by rank-one objects $\chi_D$ to obtain Tate duality and an Euler–Poincaré formula. The main contributions include proving that these groups form a delta-functor, establishing a perfect pairing with dual objects, and connecting to both Galois and analytic cohomology via natural specializations; the work also yields explicit dimension formulas in the $K=\mathbb{Q}_p$ case and ties to $D_{cris}$-theoretic invariants. Altogether, the results provide a comprehensive arithmetic description of higher Selmer-type cohomology for $B$-pairs and extend the analytic perspective to a general $E$-linear setting with a robust duality theory.
Abstract
In this article we revisit the partial Selmer groups introduced by Ding in cohomological degree one. On the subcategory of partially de Rham positive $B$-pairs we extend them to higher cohomological degree and show that the resulting groups form a cohomological delta functor satisfying a variant of the Euler--Poincaré characteristic formula and Tate duality.
