Typos in the abstract have been corrected. Let $\rho_n$ be an ordinary weight two representation of absolute Galois group of the rationals to $GL_2(\mathcal O/\pi^n)$. Here $\mathcal O$ is a ramified DVR with uniformiser $\pi$. If $\rho_n$…

In this article, we prove that for a convergent sequence of residually absolutely irreducible representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field $F$ with coefficients in a domain finite over a power series ring over a $p$-adic…

The goal of this article is to give an explicit classification of the possible $p$-adic Galois representations that are attached to elliptic curves $E$ with CM defined over $\mathbb{Q}(j(E))$. More precisely, let $K$ be an imaginary…

We show that the bounded Borel class of any dense representation $\rho: G\to \PSL_n\bC$ is non-zero in degree three bounded cohomology and has maximal semi-norm, for any discrete group $G$. When $n=2$, the Borel class is equal to the…

In this paper, we classify all continuous Galois representations $\rho:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p)$ which are unramified outside $\{p,\infty\}$ and locally induced at $p$, under…

This is an exposition of our joint work with Kakde, Silliman, and Wang, in which we prove a version of Ribet's Lemma for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ in the residually indistinguishable case. We suppose we are given a Galois representation taking values…

It is known that for any elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and any integer $m$ co-prime to $30,$ the induced Galois representation $\rho_{E,m}: \text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q}) \longrightarrow \text{GL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})$…

In his previous paper (Math. Res. Letters 7(2000), 123--132) the author proved that in characteristic zero the jacobian $J(C)$ of a hyperelliptic curve $C: y^2=f(x)$ has only trivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure $K_a$ of the…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f\in K[X]$ an irreducible monic polynomial with coefficients in $O_K$, the ring of integers of $K$. We aim to enounce an effective criterion, in terms of the Galois group of $f$ over $K$ and a linear…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $n$ an integer $\geq 2$, and $L$ a finite extension of $\mathrm{Q}_p$. Let $\rho_L$ be an $n$-dimensional (non-critical but not necessary generic) potentially crystalline $p$-adic Galois representation of the…

Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…

In this paper, we consider Galois representations of the absolute Galois group $\text{Gal}(\overline {\mathbb Q}/\mathbb Q)$ attached to modular forms for noncongruence subgroups of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. When the underlying modular…

In this work we generalise the main result of arXiv:1812.05651 to the family of hyperelliptic curves with potentially good reduction over a $p$-adic field which have degree $p$ and the largest possible image of inertia under the $\ell$-adic…

In this paper we show that two dimensional (mod p) Galois representations satisfying mild hypotheses can be lifted to p-adic Galois representations ramified at infinitely many primes such that the characteristic polynomials of Frobenius at…

Let~$E$ be a Hilbertian field of characteristic~$0$. R.W.K. Odoni conjectured that for every positive integer~$n$ there exists a polynomial~$f\in E[X]$ of degree~$n$ such that each iterate~$f^{\circ{k}}$ of~$f$ is irreducible and the Galois…

We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…

Let O be a complete discrete valuation domain with finite residue field. In this paper we describe the irreducible representations of the groups Aut(M) for any finite O-module M of rank two. The main emphasis is on the interaction between…

For each of the groups PSL2(F25), PSL2(F32), PSL2(F49), PGL2(F25), and PGL2(F27), we display the first explicitly known polynomials over Q having that group as Galois group. Each polynomial is related to a Galois representation associated…

Conjecturally, the Galois representations that are attached to essentially selfdual regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations are Zariski-dense in a polarized Galois deformation ring. We prove new results in this direction in…

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…
