The versal deformation ring R(G,V) of a mod p representation V of a profinite group G encodes all isomorphism classes of lifts of V to representations of G over complete local commutative Noetherian rings. We introduce a new technique for…

This article is concerned with homological properties of local or graded rings whose defining relations are monomials on some regular sequence. The main result of the article positively answers a question of Avramov for such a ring $R$.…

We show that every complete noetherian local commutative ring R with residue field k can be realized as a universal deformation ring of a continuous linear representation of a profinite group. More specifically, R is the universal…

This article deals with universal deformations of dihedral representations with a particular focus on the question when the universal deformation is dihedral. Results are obtained in three settings: (1) representation theory, (2) algebraic…
