For every prime number $p\geq 3$ and every integer $m\geq 1$, we prove the existence of a continuous Galois representation $\rho: G_\mathbb{Q} \rightarrow Gl_m(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which has open image and is unramified outside $\{p,\infty\}$…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $N$ be a prime with $N \equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, and let $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity. We study the $p$-rank of the class group of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p, N^{1/p})$ using Galois cohomological methods and…

The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…

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 r : G_Q -> GL_n Q_l be a motivic l-adic Galois representation. For fixed m > 1 we initiate an investigation of the density of the set of primes p such that the trace of the image of an arithmetic Frobenius at p under r is an m^th power…

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…

Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{F}$ a finite field of characteristic $p$ and let $\bar{\chi}$ be the mod-$p$ cyclotomic character. Let $\bar{\rho}:\operatorname{G}_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{F})$ be a…

In this paper we prove that for any prime $p\ge 11$ holds $$ {2p-1\choose p-1}\equiv 1 -2p \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k} +4p^2\sum_{1\le i<j\le p-1}\frac{1}{ij}\pmod{p^7}. $$ This is a generalization of the famous Wolstenholme's theorem which…

We study cohomologies of a curve with an action of a finite $p$-group over a field of characteristic $p$. Assuming the existence of a certain 'magical element' in the function field of the curve, we compute the equivariant structure of the…

We prove that, on average, elliptic curves over Q have finitely many primes p for which they possess a p-adic point of order p. We include a discussion of applications to companion forms and the deformation theory of Galois representations.

Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime. We construct modular Galois representations for which the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of the $p$-primary Selmer group (i.e., $\lambda$-invariant) over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension is large. More precisely, for…

Let $F$ be a totally real field of even degree in which $p$ splits completely. Let $\overline{r}:G_F \rightarrow \mathrm{GSp}_4(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a modular Galois representation unramified at all finite places away from $p$ and…

For an odd prime p, we determine a minimal set of topological generators of the pro-p Iwahori subgroup of a split reductive group G over Z\_p. In the simple adjoint case and for any sufficiently large regular prime p, we also construct…

Following the natural instinct that when a group operates on a number field then every term in the class number formula should factorize `compatibly' according to the representation theory (both complex and modular) of the group, we are led…

We use the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL_2(Q_p) to find the reduction modulo p of certain two-dimensional crystalline Galois representations. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Breuil, Buzzard, and Emerton in the case…

For a newform $f=\sum a_n q^n$ of weight $k \geq 3$ and a prime $\lambda$ of $\mathbf{Q}(a_n)$, the deformation problem for its associated mod $\lambda$ Galois representation is unobstructed for all primes outside some finite set. Previous…

We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first…

This paper is a sequel to our earlier paper "Wach modules and Iwasawa theory for modular forms" (arXiv: 0912.1263), where we defined a family of Coleman maps for a crystalline representation of the Galois group of Qp with nonnegative…

In this paper, we study Fontaine-Laffaille, self-dual deformations of a mod p non-semisimple Galois representation of dimension n with its Jordan-Holder factors being three mutually non-isomorphic absolutely irreducible representations. We…

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct prime numbers. We study the Galois objects and cocycle deformations of the noncommutative, noncocommutative, semisimple Hopf algebras of odd dimension $p^3$ and of dimension $pq^2$. We obtain that the $p+1$…
