Abstract

Let FF be a finite unramified extension of Q_p\mathbb Q\_p and ρˉ\bar\rho be an absolutely irreducible mod~pp 22-dimensional representation of the absolute Galois group of FF. Let tt be a tame inertial type of FF. We conjecture that the deformation space parametrizing the potentially Barsotti--Tate liftings of ρˉ\bar\rho having type tt depends only on the Kisin variety attached to the situation, enriched with its canonical embedding into (P1)f(\mathbb P^1)^f and its shape stratification. We give evidences towards this conjecture by proving that the Kisin variety determines the cardinality of the set of common Serre weights D(t,ρˉ)=D(t)D(ρˉ)D(t,\bar\rho) = D(t) \cap D(\bar\rho). Besides, we prove that this dependance is nondecreasing (the smaller is the Kisin variety, the smaller is the number of common Serre weights) and compatible with products (if the Kisin variety splits as a product, so does the number of weights).
