We prove that there is no geometric $p$-adic representation of the Galois group of $\Q$ which is irreducible, of dimension 2, of conductor 1 and low weight, according to a conjecture of Fontaine and Mazur.
We consider families of abelian Galois coverings of the line. When the Jacobian of the general element is totally decomposable, i.e., is isogenous to a product of elliptic curves, we prove that they yield special subvarieties of $\A_g$ if…
We prove that any geometrically irreducible $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p$-local system on a smooth algebraic variety over a $p$-adic field $K$ becomes de Rham after a twist by a character of the Galois group of $K$. In particular, for any…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, $\bar{K}$ its algebraic closure. Let $n \ge 3$ be an odd prime such that $2$ is a primitive root modulo $n$. Let $f(x)$ and $h(x)$ be degree $n$ polynomials with coefficients in $K$…
We prove that over totally real fields, the $p$-adic Galois representations attached to non-self-dual regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(4)$ are irreducible. We then develop the theory of extra-twists in…
Let $k$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ which contains all $2$-power roots of unity, and let $K = k(\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, ... , \alpha_{2g + 1})$, where the $\alpha_{i}$'s are independent and transcendental over $k$, and $g$ is a positive…
This paper is concerned with some Algebraic Geometry codes on Jacobians of genus 2 curves. We derive a lower bound for the minimum distance of these codes from an upper "Weil type" bound for the number of rational points on irreducible…
Let $d$ and $n$ be positive integers, and $E/F$ be a separable field extension of degree $m=\binom{n+d}{n}$. We show that if $|F| > 2$, then there exists a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n(E)$ which does not lie on any degree $d$ hypersurface…
Without using the $p$-adic Langlands correspondence, we prove that for many finite length smooth representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$ on $p$-torsion modules the $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$-linear morphisms coincide with the…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be an elliptic curve whose mod $p$ Galois image is contained in the normaliser of a non-split Cartan. We classify the possible $p$-adic images of $E$ using tools from $p$-adic Hodge theory via a careful analysis of the…
We consider Hopf Galois structures on a separable field extension $L/K$ of degree $p^n$, for $p$ an odd prime number, $n\geq 3$. For $p > n$, we prove that $L/K$ has at most one abelian type of Hopf Galois structures. For a nonabelian group…
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…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Following the works of Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, Izquierdo, and Tian, we study the local-global and weak…
Using Calegari's result on the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, we study the irreducibility of pure, regular, rank 3 weakly compatible systems of self-dual l-adic representations. As a consequence, we prove that the Tate conjecture holds for a…
In a remarkable article Ribet showed how to attach rational $2$-dimensional representations to elliptic ${\mathbb Q}$-curves. An abelian variety $A$ is a (weak) $K$-variety if it is isogenous to all of its $\text{Gal}_K$-conjugates. In this…
Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$, an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $n$ for $p$ an odd prime. It is known that nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra structures $A$ on $G$ yield regular subgroups of the…
The p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL_2(Q_p) is given by an exact functor from unitary Banach representations of GL_2(Q_p) to representations of the absolute Galois group G_{Q_p} of Q_p. We prove, using characteristic 0 methods,…
Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, let $\Omega_F$ be Drinfeld's upper half-plane over $F$ and let $G^0$ the subgroup of $GL_2(F)$ consisting of elements whose determinant has norm $1$. Let $\mathscr{L}$ be a torsion…
We construct a local deformation problem for residual Galois representations $\bar{\rho}$ valued in an arbitrary reductive group $\hat{G}$ which we use to develop a variant of the Taylor-Wiles method. Our generalization allows Taylor-Wiles…
We define a pro-$p$ Abelian sheaf on a modular curve of a fixed level $N \geq 5$ divisible by a prime number $p \neq 2$. Every $p$-adic representation of $\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ associated to an eigenform is obtained…
