Iwasawa invariants for the False–Tate extension and congruences between modular forms

For an ordinary prime p⩾3, we consider the Hida family associated to modular forms of a fixed tame level, and their Selmer groups defined over certain Galois extensions of Q(μp) whose Galois group is G≅Zp⋊Zp. For Selmer groups defined over the cyclotomic Zp-extension of Q(μp), we show that if the μ-invariant of one member of the Hida family is zero, then so are the μ-invariants of the other members, while the λ-invariants remain the same only in a branch of the Hida family. We use these results to study the behavior of some invariants from non-commutative Iwasawa theory in the Hida family.
