In this article, we use deformation theory of Galois representations valued in the symplectic group of degree four to prove a freeness result for the cohomology of certain quaternionic unitary Shimura variety over the universal deformation…

We survey some recent progress on generalizations of conjectures of Serre concerning the cohomology of arithmetic groups, focusing primarily on the "weight" aspect. This is intimately related to (generalizations of) a conjecture of Breuil…

We determine the universal deformation ring R(G,V) of certain mod 2 representations V of a finite group G which belong to a 2-modular block of G whose defect groups are isomorphic to a generalized quaternion group D. We show that for these…

In a previous paper it was shown that a certain family of varieties suggested by Lusztig, is not enough to construct all irreducible complex representations of reductive groups over finite rings coming from the ring of integers in a local…

Let $\Pi$ be an irreducible unitary completion of a locally algebraic ${\rm GL}_2(\qp)$-representation. We describe those first-order deformations of $\Pi$ which are themselves completions of a locally algebraic representation. This answers…

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,…

We study deformation of spherical $CR$ circle bundles over Riemann surfaces of genus > 1. There is a one to one correspondence between such deformation space and the so-called universal Picard variety. Our differential-geometric proof of…

We prove, under mild hypotheses, that there are no irreducible two-dimensional_even_ Galois representations of $\Gal(\Qbar/\Q)$ which are de Rham with distinct Hodge--Tate weights. This removes the "ordinary" hypothesis required in previous…

We give a new local proof of Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for two dimensional representations of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, when $p\ge 5$ and the representation has scalar endomorphisms.

We prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture in generic situations for forms of $U(3)$ which are compact at infinity and split at places dividing $p$ as conjectured by Herzig. We also prove automorphy lifting theorems in dimension three.…

We generalize a recent result by J.F. Carlson to finite tensor categories having finitely generated cohomology. Specifically, we show that if the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring is sufficiently large, then there exist infinitely many…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Let S_4 denote the symmetric group on 4 letters. We determine the universal deformation ring R(S_4,V) for every kS_4-module V…

We prove that if $G$ is a finite irreducible solvable subgroup of an orthogonal group $O(V,Q)$ with $\dim V$ odd, then $G$ preserves an orthogonal decomposition of $V$ into $1$-spaces. In particular $G$ is monomial. This generalizes a…

In this paper we prove a result which establishes an equivalence between the representational assembly conjecture proposed by the author and a rigidity question, in the case of Galois groups which are pro-l groups. In additional work with…

We reduce the study of the Krull dimension d of the deformation ring of the functor of deformations of curves with automorphisms to the study of the tangent space of the deformation functor of a class of matrix representations of the p-part…

In this paper we study higher Deligne--Lusztig representations of reductive groups over finite quotients of discrete valuation rings. At even levels, we show that these geometrically constructed representations coincide with certain induced…

We prove new cases of Fontaine-Mazur conjecture on two-dimensional Galois representations over Q when the residual representation is reducible. Our approach is via a semi-simple local-global compatibility of the completed cohomology and a…

We prove that every odd semisimple reducible (2-dimensional) mod l Galois representation arises from a cuspidal eigenform. In addition, we investigate the possible different types (level, weight, character) of such a modular form. When the…

A global representation is a compatible collection of representations of the outer automorphism groups of the finite groups belonging to a family $\mathscr{U}$. These arise in classical representation theory, in the study of representation…

Using $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_2)$ and an ordinary $R = \mathbb{T}$ theorem, we prove that the support of patched modules for quaternionic forms meet every irreducible component of the…
