Arithmetic statistics of isogeny Selmer groups associated to hyperelliptic curves
We determine asymptotic results for the average size of Selmer groups arising from certain isogenies related to Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g\geq 2$. Our results come from two different routes. The first route is through the geometry-of-numbers methods pioneered by Bhargava, where we obtain new parametrisations coming from Vinberg theory arising from representations related to the Dynkin diagrams of type $B$ and $C$. The second route uses recent results by Koymans--Smith, which relate the average sizes of Selmer groups to Tamagawa ratios through a formula by Greenberg--Wiles.
