Given a prime $p$ and cusp forms $f_1$ and $f_2$ on some $\Gamma_1(N)$ that are eigenforms outside $Np$ and have coefficients in the ring of integers of some number field $K$, we consider the problem of deciding whether $f_1$ and $f_2$ have…

We consider mod $p$ Hilbert modular forms for a totally real field $F$, viewed as sections of automorphic line bundles on Hilbert modular varieties in prime characteristic $p$. For a Hecke eigenform of arbitrary weight, we prove the…

We study modular Galois representations mod $p^m$. We show that there are three progressively weaker notions of modularity for a Galois representation mod $p^m$: we have named these `strongly', `weakly', and `dc-weakly' modular. Here, `dc'…

We continue the study of strong, weak, and $dc$-weak eigenforms introduced by Chen, Kiming, and Wiese. We completely determine all systems of Hecke eigenvalues of level $1$ modulo $128$, showing there are finitely many. This extends results…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We state conjectures on the smooth representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ that occur in spaces of mod $p$ automorphic forms (for compact unitary groups). In particular,…

We describe the image of general families of two-dimensional representations over compact semi-local rings. Applying this description to the family carried by the universal Hecke algebra acting on the space of modular forms of level $N$…

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…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…

We prove a commutative algebra result which has consequences for congruences between automorphic forms modulo prime powers. If C denotes the congruence module for a fixed automorphic Hecke eigenform \pi_0 we prove an exact relation between…

Let r : G_Q -> GL_n Q_l be a motivic l-adic Galois representation. For fixed m > 1 we initiate an investigation of the density of the set of primes p such that the trace of the image of an arithmetic Frobenius at p under r is an m^th power…

In this paper, we use techniques of Conrey, Farmer and Wallace to find spaces of modular forms $S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ where all of the eigenspaces have Hecke eigenvalues defined over $\F_p$, and give a heuristic indicating that these are all…

We derive an explicit upper bound for the number of systems of Hecke eigenvalues coming from Siegel modular forms (mod p) of dimension g and level N relatively prime to p. In the special case of elliptic modular forms (g=1), our result…

We show that an elliptic modular form with integral Fourier coefficients in a number field $K$, for which all but finitely many coefficients are divisible by a prime ideal $\frak{p}$ of $K$, is a constant modulo $\frak{p}$. A similar…

We consider a variant of a question of N. Koblitz. For an elliptic curve $E/\Q$ which is not $\Q$-isogenous to an elliptic curve with torsion, Koblitz has conjectured that there exists infinitely many primes $p$ such that…

Let p be an odd prime number and K be a p-adic field. In this paper, we develop an analogue of Fontaine's theory of (phi,Gamma)-modules replacing the p-cyclotomic extension by the extension K_infty obtained by adding to K a compatible…

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…

Let $f$ be a newform of weight $2$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ with Fourier $q$-expansion $f(q)=q+\sum_{n\geq 2} a_n q^n$, where $\Gamma_0(N)$ denotes the group of invertible matrices with integer coefficients, upper triangular mod $N$. Let $p$ be a…

We address a question posed by Ono, prove a general result for powers of an arbitrary prime, and provide an explanation for the appearance of higher congruence moduli for certain small primes. One of our results coincides with a recent…

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…

Let $p$ be a prime. We discuss $p$-adic properties of various arithmetical functions related to the coefficients of modular form and generating functions. Modular forms are considered as a tool of solving arithmetical problems. Examples of…
