We formulate a Serre-type conjecture for n-dimensional Galois representations that are tamely ramified at p. The weights are predicted using a representation-theoretic recipe. For n = 3 some of these weights were not predicted by the…

Let $p>2$ be prime, and let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified. We give a sufficient criterion for a mod $p$ Galois representation to arise from a mod $p$ Hilbert modular form of parallel weight one, by proving a…

In this paper, we call strongly modular those reducible semi-simple odd mod $l$ Galois representations for which the conclusion of the strongest form of Serre's original modularity conjecture holds. Under the assumption that the Serre…

We formulate for function fields an analog of Serre's conjecture on the modularity of 2-dimensional irreducible mod l representations of the absolute Galois group of Q: our analog is not restricted to 2-dimensional represntations. While the…

We extend the lifting methods of our previous paper to lift reducible odd representations $\bar{\rho}:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F) \to G(k)$ of Galois groups of global fields $F$ valued in Chevalley groups $G(k)$. Lifting results, when…

We prove a variety of results on the existence of automorphic Galois representations lifting a residual automorphic Galois representation. We prove a result on the structure of deformation rings of local Galois representations, and deduce…

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 first prove the existence of minimally ramified p-adic lifts of 2-dimensional mod p representations, that are odd and irreducible, of the absolute Galois group of Q,in many cases. This is predicted by Serre's conjecture that such…

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 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…

We prove new automorphy lifting theorems for residually reducible Galois representations of unitary type in which the residual representation is permitted to have an arbitrary number of irreducible constituents.

For a rational prime $p \geq 3$ and an integer $n \geq 2$, we study the modularity of continuous 2-dimensional mod $p^n$ Galois representations of $\Gal(\bar{\Q}/\Q)$ whose residual representations are odd and absolutely irreducible. Under…

A generalization of Serre's Conjecture asserts that if $F$ is a totally real field, then certain characteristic $p$ representations of Galois groups over $F$ arise from Hilbert modular forms. Moreover it predicts the set of weights of such…

The conjecture of Serre referred in the title is the one about modularity of odd Galois representations into GL(2,F) where F is a finite field of characteristic p. We present an analogous conjecture where GL(2) is replaced by GL(n). We…

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…

We prove potential automorphy results for a single Galois representation $G_F \rightarrow GL_n(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_l)$ where $F$ is a CM number field. The strategy is to use the $p,q$ switch trick and modify the Dwork motives employed in…

We construct moduli stacks of two-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field, and relate their geometry to the weight part of Serre's conjecture for GL(2).

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…

This brief note only contains a modest contribution: we just fix some inaccuracies in the proof of the prime level weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture given in Khare's preprint "On Serre's modularity conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p…

We study an analogue of Serre's modularity conjecture for projective representations $\overline{\rho}: \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \rightarrow \operatorname{PGL}_2(k)$, where $K$ is a totally real number field. We prove new cases…
