Abstract

In this paper, we study the fine Selmer group attached to a Galois module defined over a commutative complete Noetherian ring with finite residue field of characteristic $p$. Namely, we are interested in its properties upon taking residual representation and within field extensions. In particular, we will show that the variation of the fine Selmer group in a cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension is intimately related to the variation of the class groups in the cyclotomic tower.
