The conjectural theory of local newofmrs for the split $p$-adic group ${\rm SO}_{2n+1}$, proposed by Gross, predicts that the space of local newforms in a generic representation is one-dimensional. In this note, we prove that this space is…
Lifting theorems form an important collection of tools in showing that Galois representations are associated to automorphic forms. (Key examples in dimension n>2 are the lifting theorems of Clozel, Harris and Taylor and of Geraghty.) All…
We take some initial steps towards illuminating the (hypothetical) $p$-adic local Langlands functoriality principle relating Galois representations of a $p$-adic field $L$ and admissible unitary Banach space representations of $G(L)$ when…
Given an object over the algebraic closure Qbar of Q, there is often no reason for invariants of the corresponding holomorphic object to be preserved by the absolute Galois group Gal(Qbar/Q), and in general this is not true, although it is…
We propose a geometric interpretation of the classical Rankin-Selberg method for GL(n) in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. We show that the geometric Langlands conjecture for an irreducible unramified local system $E$ of…
We formulate a version of the Breuil--Mezard conjecture for quaternion algebras, and show that it follows from the Breuil--Mezard conjecture for GL_2. In the course of the proof we establish a mod p analogue of the Jacquet--Langlands…
We prove that the irreducible components of the space of framed deformations of the trivial 2-dimensional mod 2 representation of the absolute Galois group of Q_2 are in natural bijection with those of the trivial character, confirming a…
We study the relationship between the local and global Galois theory of function fields over a complete discretely valued field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local separable extensions to descend to global extensions, and…
Sect 1 introduces Nielsen classes attached to (G,C), where C is r conjugacy classes in a finite group G, and a braid action on them. These give reduced Hurwitz spaces, denoted H(G,C)^rd. The section concludes with a braid formula for the…
We prove the semisimplicity conjecture for A-motives over finitely generated fields K. This conjecture states that the rational Tate modules V_p(M) of a semisimple A-motive M are semisimple as representations of the absolute Galois group of…
We compute the versal deformation ring of a split generic $2$-dimensional representation $\chi_1\oplus \chi_2$ of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. As an application, we show that the Breuil--M\'ezard conjecture for both…
Here we follow on the proposed generalization of Maeda's conjecture made in [2]. We report on computations that suggest a relation between the number of local types and the number of non-CM newform Galois orbits. We extend the conjecture…
Let G be a finite group and V a finite-dimensional rational G-representation. We ask whether there exists a finite Galois extension L/K of number fields with Galois group G, an elliptic curve E/K, and a G-submodule of E(L) tensor Q…
We address the problem of the determination of the images of three-dimensional geometric and modular Galois representations. In the modular case the existence of these representations is only conjectural. We give conditions to ensure that…
We introduce a new partial resolution of crystalline spaces of Galois representations when the gaps in Hodge--Tate weights are smaller than $p$, with no bound on ramification. Furthermore, when $n =3$ in the case of minimal regular weight,…
Let p > 2 be prime. We prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture for rank two unitary groups for mod p representations in the unramified case (that is, the Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjecture for unitary groups), by proving that any Serre…
Let $\rho_\ell$ be a semisimple $\ell$-adic representation of a number field $K$ that is unramified almost everywhere. We introduce a new notion called weak abelian direct summands of $\rho_\ell$ and completely characterize them, for…
We prove new modularity lifting theorems for p-adic Galois representations in situations where the methods of Wiles and Taylor--Wiles do not apply. Previous generalizations of these methods have been restricted to situations where the…
Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified and $B$ be a quaternion algebra which splits at at most one infinite place. Let $\overline{r}:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a modular…
In this paper, we show that an odd Galois representation rhobar: Gal(Qbar/Q) --> GL_2(F_9) satisfying certain local conditions at 3 and 5 is modular. Our main tool is an idea of Taylor, which reduces the problem to that of exhibiting points…
