We show that framed deformation rings of mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group of a $p$-adic local field are complete intersections of expected dimension. We determine their irreducible components and show that they and their…
We study the minimal number of ramified primes in Galois extensions of rational function fields over finite fields with prescribed finite Galois group. In particular, we obtain a general conjecture in analogy with the well studied case of…
This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…
This article investigates congruences of $\mathfrak{p}$-adic representations arising from effective $A$-motives defined over a global function field $K$. We give a criterion for two congruent $\mathfrak{p}$-adic representations coming from…
Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…
In this paper, we investigate hypersurfaces defined over a ring of algebraic integers, and show that if the projection from a point induces a Galois extension over either a number field or the residue field associated with a prime ideal…
Mazur's principle gives a criterion under which an irreducible mod $\ell$ Galois representation arising from a modular form of level $Np$ (with $p$ prime to $N$) can also arise from a modular form of level $N.$ We prove an analogous result…
Using $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$, we prove that the support of patched modules constructed by Caraiani, Emerton, Gee, Geraghty, Paskunas, and Shin meet every irreducible component of the…
We describe a Picard-Vessiot theory for differential fields with non algebraically closed fields of constants. As a technique for constructing and classifying Picard-Vessiot extensions, we develop a Galois descent theory. We utilize this…
Let $L/K$ be a finite, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with residue fields of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra acting on $L$. We define the concept of an $A$-scaffold on $L$, thereby extending and…
We prove that any Galois extension of commutative rings with normal basis and abelian Galois group of odd order has a self dual normal basis. Also we show that if S/R is an unramified extension of number rings with Galois group of odd order…
Let $K$ be a field with $G_K(2) \simeq G_{\mathbb{Q}}(2)$, where $G_F(2)$ denotes the maximal pro-2 quotient of the absolute Galois group of a field $F$. We prove that then $K$ admits a (non-trivial) valuation $v$ which is 2-henselian and…
Let V be a p-adic representation of the absolute Galois group G of Q_p that becomes crystalline over a finite tame extension, and assume p odd. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for V to be isomorphic to the Tate module V_p(A)…
We determine the local deformation rings of sufficiently generic mod $l$ representations of the Galois group of a $p$-adic field, when $l \neq p$, relating them to the space of $q$-power-stable semisimple conjugacy classes in the dual…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
Certain objects of conformal field theory, for example partition functions on the rectangle and the torus, and one-point functions on the torus, are either invariant or transform simply under the modular group, properties which should be…
The Galois representation associated to a p-divisible group over a complete noetherian normal local ring with perfect residue field is described in terms of its Dieudonn\'e display. As a corollary we deduce in arbitrary characteristic…
Let $F/F_0$ be a quadratic extension of non-Archimedean locally compact fields with residual characteristic $p\neq2$, and $\ell$ be a prime number different from $p$. We classify those $\ell$-modular cuspidal irreducible representations of…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. In this paper, we construct Galois representations associated with modular forms for which the dimension of the $p$-torsion in the Bloch-Kato Selmer group can be made arbitrarily large. Our result extends…
In this paper we study the images of certain families $\{\rho_{\pi,\ell} \}_\ell$ of $G_2$-valued Galois representations of $\mbox{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)$ associated to $L$-algebraic regular, self-dual, cuspidal automorphic representations…
