Abstract

Let p5p \geq 5 be a prime. Let k=b+c(p1)k = b + c(p-1) be an integer in [2p+2,p2p+3][2p+2, p^2 - p +3], where b[2,p]b \in [2,p] and c[2,p1]c \in [2, p-1]. We prove local constancy in the weight space of the mod pp reduction of certain two-dimensional crystalline representations of Gal(Qˉp/Qp)\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_p/\mathbb{Q}_p), where the slope ν(ap)\nu(a_p) is constrained to be in (1,c)(1, c) and non-integral. We use the mod pp local Langlands correspondence for GL2(Qp)\text{GL}_{2} (\mathbb{Q}_{p}) to compute the mod pp reductions explicitly, thereby also giving a lower bound on the radius of constancy around the weights kk in the above range and under additional conditions on the slope. As an application of local constancy, we obtain explicit mod pp reductions at many new values of kk and apa_p.
