Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $K_{f}$ the finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ of degree $f$, and $G_{K_{f}}$ its absolute Galois group. We construct analytic families of \'etale $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules which give rise to…

We show that suitable congruences between polarized automorphic forms over a CM field always produce elements in the Selmer group for exactly the +/--Asai (aka tensor induction) representation that is critical in the sense of Deligne. For…

In this article, we realize some groups as Galois groups over rational numbers and finite extension of rational numbers by studying right splitting of some exact sequences, Galois correspondence and algebraic operations on Galois…

We show that if a big set of integer points in [0,N]^d, d>1, occupies few residue classes mod p for many primes p, then it must essentially lie in the solution set of some polynomial equation of low degree. This answers a question of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q$ a power of $p$. We examine the deformation theory of reducible and indecomposable Galois representations $\bar{\rho}:G_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \text{GSp}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that are unramified outside a…

The Iwasawa $\mu$-invariant of the Selmer group of a residually reducible Galois representation arising from a Hecke eigencuspform is studied. Furthermore, certain Iwasawa-invariants refining the $\mu$-invariant are defined and analyzed. As…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $\mathbf{Q}_{p^f}$ the unramified extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$ of degree $f$. In this paper, we reduce the problem of constructing strongly divisible modules for $2$-dimensional semi-stable non-crystalline…

Given a prime $p$ and cusp forms $f_1$ and $f_2$ on some $\Gamma_1(N)$ that are eigenforms outside $Np$ and have coefficients in the ring of integers of some number field $K$, we consider the problem of deciding whether $f_1$ and $f_2$ have…

The set of modular invariants that can be obtained from Galois transformations is investigated systematically for WZW models. It is shown that a large subset of Galois modular invariants coincides with simple current invariants. For…

Let p>2 be prime, and let n,m be positive integers. For cyclic field extensions E/F of degree p^n that contain a primitive pth root of unity, we show that the associated F_p[Gal(E/F)]-modules H^m(G_E,mu_p) have a sparse decomposition. When…

We study the Galois groups of polynomials arising from a compatible family of representations with big orthogonal monodromy. We show that the Galois groups are usually as large as possible given the constraints imposed on them by a…
