Geometry of the Bianchi eigenvariety around non-cuspidal points and strong multiplicity-one results

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. In this article, we study the local geometry of the Bianchi eigenvariety around non-cuspidal classical points, in particular, ordinary non-cuspidal base change points. To perform this study we introduce Bianchi Eisenstein eigensystems and prove strong multiplicity-one results on the cohomology of the corresponding Bianchi threefolds. We believe these results are of independent interest.
