Class groups and local indecomposability for non-CM forms

Abstract

In the late 1990's, R. Coleman and R. Greenberg (independently) asked for a global property characterizing those pp-ordinary cuspidal eigenforms whose associated Galois representation becomes decomposable upon restriction to a decomposition group at pp. It is expected that such pp-ordinary eigenforms are precisely those with complex multiplication. In this paper, we study Coleman-Greenberg's question using Galois deformation theory. In particular, for pp-ordinary eigenforms which are congruent to one with complex multiplication, we prove that the conjectured answer follows from the pp-indivisibility of a certain class group.
