Abstract

Taylor-Wiles type lifting theorems allow one to deduce that for ρ\rho a "sufficiently nice" ll-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field whose semi-simplified reduction modulo ll, denoted ρ\overline{\rho}, comes from an automorphic representation then so does ρ\rho. The recent lifting theorems of Barnet-Lamb-Gee-Geraghty-Taylor impose a technical condition, called \emph{mm-big}, upon the residual representation ρ\overline{\rho}. Snowden-Wiles proved that for a sufficiently irreducible compatible system of Galois representations, the residual images are \emph{big} at a set of places of Dirichlet density 11. We demonstrate the analogous result in the \emph{mm-big} setting using a mild generalization of their argument.
