We prove some cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture for even Galois representations. In particular, we prove, under mild hypotheses, that there are no irreducible two-dimensional ordinary even Galois representations of $\Gal(\Qbar/\Q)$…

For every finite group $H$ and every finite $H$-module $A$, we determine the subgroup of negligible classes in $H^2(H,A)$, in the sense of Serre, over fields with enough roots of unity. As a consequence, we show that for every odd prime…

In this paper we describe an algorithm for computing mod $\ell$ Galois representations associated to modular forms of weight $k$ when $\ell <k-1$. As applications, we use this algorithm to explicitly compute the cases with $\Delta_{k}$ for…

Let k be a positive integer divisible by 4, l>k a prime, and f an elliptic cuspidal eigenform of weight k-1, level 4, and non-trivial character. Let \rho_f be the l-adic Galois representation attached to f. In this paper we provide evidence…

The proof of Serre's conjecture on Galois representations over finite fields allows us to show, using a method due to Serre himself, that all rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over Q are modular.

We studied framed deformations of two dimensional Galois representation of which the residue representation restrict to decomposition groups are scalars, and established a modular lifting theorem for certain cases. We then proved a family…

In this article I study the variation of Selmer groups in families of modular Galois representations that are congruent modulo a fixed prime $p \geq 5$. Motivated by analogies with Goldfeld's conjecture on ranks in quadratic twist families…

This article discusses the modular representation theory of finite groups of Lie type from the viewpoint of Broue's abelian defect group conjecture. We discuss both the defining characteristic case, the inspiration for Alperin's weight…

We investigate explicit modular forms of weights $1/2$ and $3/2$-classical, minus, and fermionic theta series-arising from the classical Weil representation associated to $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ via the $2$-cocycles of Rao, Kudla,…

A result of Dieulefait-Wiese proves the existence of modular eigenforms of weight 2 for which the image of every associated residual Galois representation is as large as possible. We generalize this result to eigenforms of general even…

Let $p$ be a prime, $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified and $\rho: \mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)\rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a totally odd, irreducible, continuous representation. The geometric…

Given a pair of distinct unitary cuspidal automorphic representations for GL(n) over a number field, let S denote the set of finite places at which the automorphic representations are unramified and their associated Hecke eigenvalues…

We prove the refined Loughran--Smeets conjecture of Loughran--Rome--Sofos for a wide class of varieties arising as products of conic bundles. One interesting feature of our varieties is that the subordinate Brauer group may be arbitrarily…

The present notes are the expanded and polished version of three lectures given in Stanford, concerning the analytic and arithmetic properties of weight one modular forms. The author tried to write them in a style accessible to…

We prove new automorphy lifting theorems for essentially conjugate self-dual Galois representations into $GL_n$. Existing theorems require that the residual representation have 'big' image, in a certain technical sense. Our theorems are…

This note is devoted to some questions about the representation theory over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_2$ of the general linear groups $\mathbb{GL_n(F_2)}$ and Poincar\'e series of unstable modules. The first draft was describing two…

In the first part of this paper we try to explain to a general mathematical audience some of the remarkable web of conjectures linking representations of Galois groups with algebraic geometry, complex analysis and discrete subgroups of Lie…

Suppose that $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication and with conductor $N$. For each positive integer $m$, the action of the absolute Galois group…

The purpose of this short note is to present a simplified proof of Serre's modularity conjecture using the strong modularity lifting results currently available. This second version includes extra details on definitions and proofs than the…

Suppose that F/F+ is a CM extension of number fields in which the prime p splits completely and every other prime is unramified. Fix a place w|p of F. Suppose that rbar : Gal(F-bar/F) -> GL_3(Fp-bar) is a continuous irreducible Galois…
