A lot of work has gone into computing images of Galois representations coming from elliptic curves. This article presents an algorithm to determine the image of the mod-$3$ Galois representation associated to a principally polarized abelian…
In the first paper of this sequence, we provided an explicit hypergeometric modularity method by combining different techniques from the classical, $p$-adic, and finite field settings. In this article, we explore an application of this…
Given a cuspidal Hilbert modular eigenform $\pi$ of parallel weight 2 and a nonarchimedian place $\mathfrak p$ of the underlying totally real field such that the local component of $\pi$ at $\mathfrak p$ is the Steinberg representation, one…
We construct infinite families of pairs of (geometrically non-isogenous) elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $12$-torsion subgroups that are isomorphic as Galois modules. This extends previous work of Chen and Fisher where it is…
In this letter we show that for certain infinite families of modular forms of growing level it is possible to have a control result for the exceptional primes of the attached Galois representations. As an application, a uniform version of 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…
In this paper, a strong multiplicity one theorem for Katz modular forms is studied. We show that a cuspidal Katz eigenform which admits an irreducible Galois representation is in the level and weight old space of a uniquely associated Katz…
Let $(\mathbb{T}_f,\mathfrak{m}_f)$ denote the mod $p$ local Hecke algebra attached to a normalised Hecke eigenform $f$, which is a commutative algebra over some finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ and with residue field…
Let $N$ be a positive integer and $K$ be a number field. Suppose that $f_1,f_2 \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ are two newforms such that their residual Galois representations at $2$ are isomorphic. Let $\omega_2: G_{\mathbb Q} \rightarrow {\mathbb…
Mazur's principle gives a criterion under which an irreducible mod $\ell$ Galois representation arising from a modular form of level $Np$ (with $p$ prime to $N$) can also arise from a modular form of level $N.$ We prove an analogous result…
We prove (under certain assumptions) the irreducibility of the limit $\sigma_2$ of a sequence of irreducible essentially self-dual Galois representations $\sigma_k: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \to \mathrm{GL}_4(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p)$ (as $k$…
Let $\L_g^G$ denote the locus of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ whose automorphism group contains a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. We study spaces $\L_g^G$ for $G \iso \Z_n, \Z_2{\o}\Z_n, \Z_2{\o}A_4$, or $SL_2(3)$. We show that for $G \iso…
We consider smooth plane curves $\mathcal{X}$ of degree $d\geq4$, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, that possess a unique outer Galois point. This geometric condition forces the curve to be a cyclic covering…
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…
Recently we suggested a new quantum algebra, the moduli algebra, which was conjectured to be a quantum algebra of observables of the Hamiltonian Chern Simons theory. This algebra provides the quantization of the algebra of functions on the…
An abelian variety over a number field is called L-abelian variety if, for any element of the absolute Galois group of a number field L, the conjugated abelian variety is isogenous to the given one by means of an isogeny that preserves the…
We introduce the adjoint homological Selmer module for an SL$_2$-representation of a knot group, which may be seen as a knot theoretic analogue of the dual adjoint Selmer module for a Galois representation. We then show finitely generated…
In this paper we study deformations of mod $p$ Galois representations $\tau$ (over an imaginary quadratic field $F$) of dimension $2$ whose semi-simplification is the direct sum of two characters $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. As opposed to our…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be its residue field. Let $\mathcal{H}^{(1)}_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ be the pro-$p$-Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the $p$-adic group…
One of the many interesting algebraic objects associated to a given rational elliptic curve, $E$, is its full-torsion representation $\rho_E:\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to\mathrm{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbf{Z}})$. Generalizing this…
