We study the geometry of the p-adic Siegel eigenvariety E of paramodular tame level at certain Saito-Kurokawa points having a critical slope. For k ≥ 2 let f be a cuspidal new eigenform of S2k-2(Γ0(N)) ordinary at a prime p\nmid N with sign εf=-1 and write α for the p-adic unit root of the Hecke polynomial of f at p. Let πα be the semi-ordinary p-stabilization of the Saito-Kurokawa lift of the cusp form f to GSp(4) of weight (k,k) and paramodular tame level. Under the assumption that the dimension of the Selmer group H1f,unr(ℚ,ρf(k-1)) attached to f is at most one and some mild assumptions on the automorphic representation attached to f, we show that E is smooth at the point corresponding to πα, and that the irreducible component of E specializing to πα is not globally endoscopic. Finally we give an application to the Bloch-Kato conjecture, by proving under some mild assumptions that the smoothness failure of E at πα yields that dim H1f,unr(ℚ,ρf(k-1))≥ 2.
