| contents | Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. In this paper, we construct Galois representations associated with modular forms for which the dimension of the $p$-torsion in the Bloch-Kato Selmer group can be made arbitrarily large. Our result extends similar results known for small primes, such as Matsuno's work on Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves. Extending the technique of Hamblen and Ramakrishna, we lift residually reducible Galois representations to modular representations for which the associated Greenberg Selmer groups are minimally generated by a large number of elements over the Iwasawa algebra. We deduce that there is an isogenous lattice for which the Bloch-Kato Selmer group has large $p$-rank. |
