contents We show that if F is the rational numbers or a multiquadratic number field, p is 2,3, or 5, and K/F is a Galois extension of degree a power of p, then for elliptic curves E/Q ordered by height, the average dimension of the p-Selmer groups of E/K is bounded. In particular, this provides a bound for the average K-rank of elliptic curves E/Q for such K. Additionally, we give bounds for certain representation-theoretic invariants of Mordell--Weil groups over Galois extensions of such F. The central result is: for each finite Galois extension K/F of number fields and prime number p, as E/Q varies, the difference in dimension between the Galois fixed space in the p-Selmer group of E/K and the p-Selmer group of E/F has bounded average.
