An Euler system for the adjoint of a modular form

Euler systems have proven to be versatile tools for understanding Selmer groups and their connections to special values of $L$-functions. However, despite the key role they have played in making progress toward foundational conjectures in number theory, such as the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer and Bloch–Kato Conjectures, only a handful of provably non-trivial Euler systems have been constructed to date. A significant obstacle to constructing Euler Systems lies in producing candidate Galois cohomology classes. This lecture series presents joint work with Chris Skinner that develops a method to overcome this obstacle. Using this method, we construct an Euler system for the adjoint of a modular form.
