We prove that over totally real fields, the $p$-adic Galois representations attached to non-self-dual regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(4)$ are irreducible. We then develop the theory of extra-twists in…
Refining arguments of Hyunsuk Moon, under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we prove the non-existence of irreducible mod 2 Galois representations unramified outside 2 of dimensions $\leq 4$, and of totally real such…
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…
In 1972, Serre showed that the adelic Galois representation associated to a non-CM elliptic curve over a number field has open image in GL_2(\hat{Z}). In Greicius' thesis, he develops necessary and sufficient criteria for determining when…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$/ Associated to $E$, there is an adelic Galois representation $\rho_E \colon {\rm Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q}) \to {\rm GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$. In this article, we give…
This paper continues the study of certain two-dimensional Galois representations attached to modular forms (mod p) via a construction due to Deligne. In particular, we prove a criterion for determining when the representation is split when…
We show how the output of the algorithm to compute modular Galois representations described in our previous article can be certified. We have used this process to compute certified tables of such Galois representations obtained thanks to an…
Using Galois representations attached to elliptic curves, we construct Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $GL_2(p)$ in which all decomposition groups are cyclic. This is the first such realization for all primes $p$.
We compute modular Galois representations associated with a newform $f$, and study the related problem of computing the coefficients of $f$ modulo a small prime $\ell$. To this end, we design a practical variant of the complex…
Within the Schottky problem, the study of special subvarieties of the Torelli locus has long been of great interest. We describe a representation-theoretic criterion for a Jacobian variety arising from a $G$-Galois cover of $\mathbb{P}^1$…
We construct moduli stacks of two-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field, and relate their geometry to the weight part of Serre's conjecture for GL(2).
Let p be a prime number and M a quadratic number field, M not equal to Q(\sqrt{p}) if p is congruent to 1 modulo 4. We will prove that for any positive integer d there exists a Galois extension F/Q with Galois group D_{2p} and an elliptic…
We formulate and prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture for three-dimensional mod $p$ Galois representations under a genericity condition when the field is unramified at $p$. This removes the assumption in \cite{arXiv:1512.06380},…
This paper studies crystalline representations of G_K with coefficients of any dimension, where K is the unramified extension of Q_p of degree a. We prove a theorem of Fontaine-Laffaille type when \sigma-invariant Hodge-Tate weight less…
This brief note only contains a modest contribution: we just fix some inaccuracies in the proof of the prime level weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture given in Khare's preprint "On Serre's modularity conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p…
We prove that if $f:X \rightarrow A$ is a morphism from a smooth projective variety $X$ to an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$, and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $X$ satisfying certain properties, and if a prime $p$…
In the process of computing the Galois group of a prime degree polynomial $f(x)$ over $\mathbb Q$ we suggest a preliminary checking for the existence of non-real roots. If $f(x)$ has non-real roots, then combining a 1871 result of Jordan…
We consider continuous representations of the Galois group G of a number field K taking values in the completion C of an algebraic closure A of the field of l-adic numbers. We give a construction of irreducible representations of G in…
We say that a two dimensional p-adic Galois representation of a number field F is weight two if it is de Rham with Hodge-Tate weights 0 and -1 equally distributed at each place above p; for example, the Tate module of an elliptic curve has…
