Using the Katz-Arinkin algorithm we give a classification of irreducible rigid irregular connections on a punctured $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{C}}$ having differential Galois group $G_2$, the exceptional simple algebraic group, and slopes…

We classify rigid local systems of rank 7 whose monodromy group is dense in the simple algebraic group of type G2. This leads to motives with Galois group G2.

We use a certain rigid local system in order to prove the potential automorphy of certain Galois representations with values in $G_2,$ found by N. Katz and the author.

For any even natural number $r \ge 2$, we construct an irreducible rigid non-cohomologically rigid complex local system of rank $r$ on a smooth projective variety depending on $r$. For $r=2$, we construct an irreducible rigid…

We exhibit a rigid local system of rank six on the affine line in characteristic $p=5$ whose arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups are the finite group $2.J_2$ ($J_2$ the Hall-Janko sporadic group) in one of its two (Galois-conjugate)…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of complete local fields with finite residue fields and let G=Gal(L/K). Let G_1 and G_2 be the first and second ramification groups. Thus L/K is tamely ramified when G_1 is trivial and we say that L/K is…

We study the local rigidity of projective smooth horospherical varieties of rank one and Picard number two. These varieties have been already considered by the second author in a work where their automorphism groups are computed. The…

We introduce a family of rank-one local systems in the category of twisted $\mathcal{D}$-modules on a certain subvariety isomorphic to ${\mathbb{G}_{\text{m}}}^2$ of the affine flag variety of $\text{SL}_2$. We then give a criterion for…

For a wildly ramified extension $K/k$ of complete discrete valuation fields we study collections of elements of $k[G]$ (where $G=Gal(K/k)$) that fit well for constructing bases of various associated Galois modules and orders. In the case…

The gauge theory approach to the geometric Langlands program is extended to the case of wild ramification. The new ingredients that are required, relative to the tamely ramified case, are differential operators with irregular singularities,…

In this note we classify all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ admitting a $G$-invariant $G_2$-structure, assuming that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $G$ acts effectively on $G/H$. They include a subclass of all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ with a…

Motivated by analogous results in locally conformal symplectic geometry, we study different classes of G$_2$-structures defined by a locally conformal closed 3-form. In particular, we give a complete characterization of invariant exact…

We introduce the notion of rigidity for automorphic representations of groups over global function fields. We construct the Langlands parameters of rigid automorphic representations explicitly as local systems over open curves. We expect…

We compute the inertia group of the compositum of wildly ramified Galois covers. It is used to show that even the $p$-part of the inertia group of a Galois cover of $\PP^1$ branched only at infinity can be reduced if there is a jump in the…

In the local, unramified case the determinantal functions associated to the group-ring of a finite group satisfy Galois descent. This note examines the obstructions to Galois determinantal descent in the ramified case.

We construct a functor from the category of p-adic etale local systems on a smooth rigid analytic variety X over a p-adic field to the category of vector bundles with an integrable connection over its "base change to B_dR", which can be…

We study the middle convolution of local systems and realize special linear groups as Galois groups over the rationals. In the Appendix to this paper, written jointly with Stefan Reiter, we prove the existence of a new motivic local system…

We work over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. This paper investigates linear representations of Galois groups arising from wild Galois points on projective hypersurfaces. We prove that these Galois groups lift to…

We first develop some basic facts about certain sorts of rigid local systems on the affine line in characteristic $p>0$. We then apply them to exhibit a number of rigid local systems of rank $23$ on the affine line in characteristic $p=3$…
