Abstract

Let pp be a fixed odd prime, and let KK be a finite extension of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p with ring of integers OK\mathcal{O}_K. The Emerton-Gee stack for GL2\mathrm{GL}_2 is a stack of (φ,Γ)(\varphi, \Gamma)-modules. The stack, denoted X2\mathcal{X}_2, can be interpreted as a moduli stack of representations of the absolute Galois group of KK with pp-adic coefficients. The reduced part of the Emerton-Gee stack, denoted X2,red\mathcal{X}_{2, \text{red}}, is an algebraic stack defined over a finite field of characteristic pp and can be viewed as a moduli stack of Galois representations with mod pp coefficients. The irreducible components of X2,red\mathcal{X}_{2, \text{red}} are labelled in a natural way by Serre weights, which are the irreducible mod pp representations of GL2(OK)\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K). Each irreducible component of X2,red\mathcal{X}_{2, \text{red}} has dimension [K:Qp][K:\mathbb{Q}_p]. Motivated by the conjectural categorical pp-adic Langlands programme, we find representation-theoretic criteria for codimension one intersections of the irreducible components of X2,red\mathcal{X}_{2, \text{red}}. The methods involve two separate computations and a final comparison between the two. The first of these computations determines extension groups of Serre weights and the second determines all the pairs of irreducible components that intersect in codimension one. We show that a non-trivial extension of a pair of non-isomorphic Serre weights implies a codimension one intersection of the corresponding irreducible components. The converse of this statement is also true when the Serre weights are chosen to be sufficiently generic. Furthermore, we show that the number of top-dimensional components in a codimension one intersection is related to the nature of the extension group of corresponding Serre weights.
