We study an analog of Serre's conjecture over imaginary quadratic fields. In particular, we ask whether the weight recipe of Buzzard, Diamond and Jarvis will hold in this setting. Using a program written by the author, we provide…
We extend the modularity lifting result of the arXiv:1111.2804 to allow Galois representations with some ramification at p. We also prove modularity mod 2 and 5 of certain Galois representations. We use these results to prove many new cases…
We study short crystalline, minimal, essentially self-dual deformations of a mod $p$ non-semisimple Galois representation $\bar{\sigma}$ with $\bar{\sigma}^{\rm ss}=\chi^{k-2} \oplus \rho \oplus \chi^{k-1}$, where $\chi$ is the mod $p$…
We prove new cases of the inverse Galois problem by considering the residual Galois representations arising from a fixed newform. Specific choices of weight $3$ newforms will show that there are Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois…
Let p be a prime number and f an overconvergent p-adic automorphic form on a definite unitary group which is split at p. Assume that f is of "classical weight" and that its Galois representation is crystalline at places dividing p, then f…
We establish existence theorems for the image of the normalized character map of the $p$-adic Heisenberg algebra $S$ taking values in the algebra of Serre $p$-adic modular forms $M_p$. In particular, we describe the construction of an…
For every finite group $H$ and every finite $H$-module $A$, we determine the subgroup of negligible classes in $H^2(H,A)$, in the sense of Serre, over fields with enough roots of unity. As a consequence, we show that for every odd prime…
In this paper, we call strongly modular those reducible semi-simple odd mod $l$ Galois representations for which the conclusion of the strongest form of Serre's original modularity conjecture holds. Under the assumption that the Serre…
Given a continuous, odd, reducible and semi-simple $2$-dimensional representation $\bar\rho_0$ of $G_{\mathbb{Q},Np}$ over a finite field of odd characteristic $p$, we study the relation between the universal deformation ring of the…
Let $C$ be a genus two hyperelliptic curve over a totally real field $F$. We show that the mod 2 Galois representation $\bar{\rho}_{C,2}\colon\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{F}/F)\to \mathrm{GSp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)$ attached to $C$ is automorphic when the…
Let $p$ be a prime, $F$ a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified, and $X/\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ a Shimura variety associated to ${\rm Res}_{F/\mathbb{Q}} {\rm GL}_2$ (or a PEL Hilbert modular variety). A mod $p$ Hilbert modular…
We say that a normalized modular form is of CM type modulo $\ell$ by an imaginary quadratic field $K$ if its Fourier coefficients $a_p$ are congruent to $0$ modulo a prime $\mathcal L\mid \ell$ for every prime $p$ that is inert in $K$. In…
We prove the following uniformity principle: if one of the Galois representations in the family attached to a genus two Siegel cusp form of weight $k>3$, "semistable" and with multiplicity one, is reducible (for an odd prime $p$),then all…
Let $F$ be a totally real number field. We prove that a character of the spherical Hecke algebra appearing in the completed cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties is modular if the associated Galois representation is absolutely…
We show that the Eigenvariety attached to Hilbert modular forms over a totally real field $F$ is smooth at the points corresponding to certain classical weight one theta series and we give a precise criterion for etaleness over the weight…
Let $ F$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\mathcal{O}$ its ring of integers. Let $ \mathfrak{n} \subset \mathcal{O} $ be a non-zero ideal and let $ p> 5$ be a rational inert prime in $F$ and coprime with $\mathfrak{n}$. Let $ V$ be an…
Our main result in this article is a proof (under mild technical assumptions) of an analogue for $p$-adic Galois representations attached to a newform $f$ of even weight $k\geq4$ of Kolyvagin's conjecture on the $p$-indivisibility of…
We study G-valued Galois deformation rings with prescribed properties, where G is an arbitrary (not necessarily connected) reductive group over an extension of Z_l for some prime l. In particular, for the Galois groups of p-adic local…
Let p be an odd prime and F a totally real number field. Let f be a Hilbert cuspidal eigenform of parallel weight 2, trivial Nebentypus and ordinary at p. It is possible to construct a p-adic L-function which interpolates the complex…
