Adjoint Bloch--Kato Selmer groups of regular algebraic automorphic Galois representations

Abstract

We prove the vanishing of the adjoint Bloch--Kato Selmer group of the Galois representations associated to regular algebraic automorphic representations of general linear groups over CM fields. A key novelty of our work is that we impose conditions only on the $p$-adic Galois representations, and not on their associated residual representations modulo $p$.
