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…

If a $p$-adic Galois representation $\rho_{f,\nu}:\Gamma_{\mathbb Q} \to \GL_2(E_{f,\nu})$ attached to some eigenform $f$ is residually reducible it will have 2 non-isomorphic reductions, which have the same semi-simplification. In this…

Mazur's principle gives a criterion under which an irreducible mod $\ell$ Galois representation arising from a modular form of level $Np$ (with $p$ prime to $N$) can also arise from a modular form of level $N.$ We prove an analogous result…

In this paper we show how to construct, for most p >= 5, two types of surjective representations \rho:G_Q=Gal(\bar{Q}/Q) -> GL_2(Z_p) that are ramified at an infinite number of primes. The image of inertia at almost all of these primes will…
