In this dissertation we study the Hodge-Witt cohomology of the $d$-dimensional Drinfeld's upper half space $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{P}_k^d$ over a finite field $k$. We consider the natural action of the $k$-rational points $G$ of the…

We study the Oort groups for a prime p, i.e. finite groups G such that every G-Galois branched cover of smooth curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p lifts to a G-cover of curves in characteristic 0. We prove that all…

In a previous paper [CG], we showed how one could generalize Taylor-Wiles modularity lifting theorems [Wil95, TW95] to contexts beyond those in which the automorphic forms in question arose from the middle degree cohomology of Shimura…

The paper is concerned with Kropholler's conjecture on splitting a finitely generated group over a codimension-1 subgroup. For a subgroup H of a group G, we define the notion of "finite splitting height" which generalises the finite-height…

The famous Bloch--Kato conjecture implies that for a field $F$ containing a primitive $p$th root of unity, the cohomology ring of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ of $F$ with $\mathbb{F}_p$ coefficients is generated by degree one elements.…

For a finite extension $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ and a split reductive group $G$ over $\mathcal{O}_K$, let $\overline{\rho} \colon \mathrm{Gal}_K \to G(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a continuous quasi-semisimple mod $p$ $G$-valued representation of…

The core of the Taylor-Wiles and Taylor-Wiles-Kisin method in proving modularity lifting theorems is the construction of Taylor-Wiles primes satisfying certain conditions relating automorphic side and Galois side. In this article, we…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $n$ be a positive integer. We construct equivalences of categories between continuous $p$-adic representations of the $n$-fold product of the absolute Galois group…

Using the action of the Galois group of a normal extension of number fields, we generalize and symmetrize various fundamental statements in algebra and algebraic number theory concerning splitting types of prime ideals, factorization types…

We prove several results concerning the existence of potentially crystalline lifts with prescribed Hodge-Tate weights and inertial types of a given n-dimensional mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of K, where K/Q_p is a…

Let {\phi} be a Drinfeld A-module of characteristic p0 over a finitely generated field K. Previous articles determined the image of the absolute Galois group of K up to commensurability in its action on all prime-to-p0 torsion points of…

We establish a connection between the theory of cyclotomic ideal class groups and the theory of "geometric" Galois modules and obtain results on the Galois module structure of coherent cohomology groups of Galois covers of varieties over Z.…

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…

Let F be a field, let G be its absolute Galois group, and let R(G, k) be the representation ring of G over a suitable field k. In this preprint we construct a ring homomorphism from the mod 2 Milnor K-theory k_*(F) to the graded ring gr…

Let $K/F$ be a finite Galois extension of number fields. It is well known that the Tchebotarev density theorem implies that an irreducible, finitely ramified $p$-adic representation $\rho$ of the absolute Galois group of $K$ is determined…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable over W_2(k), if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, we first deduce the Kummer covering trick…

We solve the lifting problem for Galois representations in every dimension and in every characteristic. That is, we determine all pairs $(n,k)$, where $n$ is a positive integer and $k$ is a field of characteristic $p>0$, such that for every…

Let f be a newform of weight 2k-2 and level 1. In this paper we provide evidence for the Bloch-Kato conjecture for modular forms. We demonstrate an implication that under suitable hypothesis if a prime divides the algebraic part of L(k,f),…

Let $p$ be a prime, $K$ a finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$, and let $G_K$ be the absolute Galois group of $K$. The category of \'etale $(\varphi, \tau)$-modules is equivalent to the category of $p$-adic Galois representations of $G_K$. In…

In this paper we generalize the forcing ramification argument of Khare-Ramakrishna to the setting of the lifting result by Fakhruddin-Khare-Patrikis. In particular, we show that in the relative deformation method the finite set of primes…
