We generalize the main result of arXiv:1206.6631 [math.NT] to all totally real fields. In other words, for $p>2$ prime, we prove (under a mild Taylor-Wiles hypothesis) that if a modular representation is unramified and $p$-distinguished at…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $F$ be a number field. Consider a Galois extension $K/F$ with Galois group $H\rtimes \Delta$ where $H\cong \mathbb{Z}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}/p^d\mathbb{Z}$, and $\Delta$ is an arbitrary Galois group. The subfields…

We consider continuous representations of the Galois group G of a number field K taking values in the completion C of an algebraic closure A of the field of l-adic numbers. We give a construction of irreducible representations of G in…

Given a totally real number field $F$ and a mod $p$ Galois representation $\rho\colon G_F\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\bar{\mathbf{F}}_p)$, we propose an explicit definition of the set of Serre weights $W(\rho)$ attached to $\rho$. We prove that our…

We give a streamlined and effective proof of Ozaki's theorem that any finite $p$-group $\Gamma$ is the Galois group of the $p$-Hilbert class field tower of some number field $\rm F$. Our work is inspired by Ozaki's and applies in broader…

In the present paper, we shall show that for any prime number p, every finite p-group occurs as the Galois Group of the maximal unramified p-extension over a certain number field of finite degree. We shall also show that for any given…

Let $p\geq 7$ be a prime and $n>1$ be a natural number. We show that there exist infinitely many Galois representations $\varrho:Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow GL_{n}(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which are unramified outside $\{p, \infty\}$…

We prove new cases of the inverse Galois problem by considering the residual Galois representations arising from a fixed newform. Specific choices of weight $3$ newforms will show that there are Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois…

For every odd integer $n \geq 3$, we prove that there exist infinitely many number fields of degree $n$ and associated Galois group $S_n$ whose class number is odd. To do so, we study the class groups of families of number fields of degree…

This paper concerns the description of holomorphic extensions of algebraic number fields. We define a hyperbolized adele class group for every number field K Galois over Q and consider the Hardy space H[K] of graded-holomorphic functions on…

Ideas and techniques from Khare's and Wintenberger's article on the proof of Serre's conjecture for odd conductors are used to establish that for a fixed prime l infinitely many of the groups PSL_2(F_{l^r}) (for r running) occur as Galois…

We define a new class of sets -- stable sets -- of primes in number fields. For example, Chebotarev sets $P_{M/K}(\sigma)$, with $M/K$ Galois and $\sigma \in \Gal(M/K)$, are very often stable. These sets have positive (but arbitrary small)…

Let F be a totally real field and p an odd prime. If r is a continuous, semisimple, totally odd mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of F which is tamely ramified at all places of F dividing p, then we formulate a conjecture…

Under mild hypotheses, we prove that if F is a totally real field, k is the algebraic closure of the finite field with l elements and r : G_F --> GL_2(k) is irreducible and modular, then there is a finite solvable totally real extension…

All current techniques for showing that a number field has an infinite p-class field tower depend on one of various forms of the Golod-Shafarevich inequality. Such techniques can also be used to restrict the types of p-groups which can…

For each odd prime p>=5, there exist finite p-groups G with derived quotient G/D(G)=C(p)xC(p) and nearly constant transfer kernel type k(G)=(1,2,...,2) having two fixed points. It is proved that, for p=7, this type k(G) with the simplest…

We study the possible weights of an irreducible 2-dimensional modular mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of F, where F is a totally real field which is totally ramified at p, and the representation is tamely ramified at the…

For a perfect field $k$, we study actions of the absolute Galois group of $k$ on the $\bar{k}$-valued points of moduli spaces of quiver representations over $k$; the fixed locus is the set of $k$-rational points and we obtain a…
