We study the middle convolution of local systems on the punctured affine line in the setting of singular cohomology and in the setting of \'etale cohomology. We derive a formula to compute the topological monodromy of the middle convolution…

We classify rigid local systems of rank 7 whose monodromy group is dense in the simple algebraic group of type G2. This leads to motives with Galois group G2.

We use a certain rigid local system in order to prove the potential automorphy of certain Galois representations with values in $G_2,$ found by N. Katz and the author.

We study the determinant of certain etale sheaves constructed via middle convolution in order to realize special linear groups regularly as Galois groups over the rationals.

Motivic local systems over a curve in finite characteristic form a countable set endowed with an action of the absolute Galois group of rational numbers commuting with the Frobenius map. I will discuss three series of conjectures about such…

We construct automorphic representations for quasi-split groups $G$ over the function field $F=k(t)$ one of whose local components is an epipelagic representation in the sense of Reeder and Yu. We also construct the attached Galois…

For a reductive group $G$, we prove that complex irreducible rigid $G$-local systems with quasi-unipotent monodromies and finite order abelianization on a smooth curve are motivic, generalizing a theorem of Katz for $GL_n$. We do so by…

We compute the behaviour of Hodge data by tensor product with a unitary rank-one local system and middle convolution by a Kummer unitary rank-one local system for an irreducible variation of polarized complex Hodge structure on a punctured…

In Proposition I of "Memoire sur les conditions de resolubilite des equations par radicaux", Galois established that any intermediate extension of the splitting field of a polynomial with rational coefficients is the fixed field of its…

We prove new instances of Simpson's rigidity conjecture which states that quasi-unipotent rigid local systems should be motivic. We construct new relative motives over the fourfold punctured Riemann sphere which give rise to $G_2$-rigid…

This note explains an approach to producing examples of 'generalized Kuga-Satake theory' based on establishing special cases of Simpson's conjecture that rigid local systems are motivic. This strategy is then carried out, using work of…

We study the residual monodromy representations associated to the Dwork family in characteristic two. Various applications involving 2-adic and mod 2 Galois representations are discussed. Combining the author's previous work with Tsuzuki…

Given a Nori motivic local system over a smooth, connected complex algebraic variety, we define its exceptional locus as a way to measure the variation in the motivic complexity of its stalks. The definition is given explicitly in terms of…

We prove the existence of GSpin-valued Galois representations corresponding to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of general symplectic groups over totally real number fields under the local hypothesis that there is a…

We construct motivic $\ell$-adic representations of $\GQ$ into exceptional groups of type $E_7,E_8$ and $G_2$ whose image is Zariski dense. This answers a question of Serre. The construction is uniform for these groups and uses the…

We investigate local-global compatibility for cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ for GL(2) over CM fields that are regular algebraic of weight $0$. We prove that for a Dirichlet density one set of primes $l$ and any $\iota :…

In earlier work of the author rigid irregular connections with differential Galois group $G_2$ and whose slopes have numerator $1$ were classified and new rigid connections were constructed. The same construction can be carried out for…
