We adapt a technique of Kisin to construct and study crystalline deformation rings of $G_K$ for a finite extension $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$. This is done by considering a moduli space of Breuil--Kisin modules, satisfying an additional Galois…
Let $L/K$ be a finite, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with residue fields of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra acting on $L$. We define the concept of an $A$-scaffold on $L$, thereby extending and…
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…
Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified and $B$ be a quaternion algebra which splits at at most one infinite place. Let $\overline{r}:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a modular…
We explore Tate-type conjectures over $p$-adic fields. We study a conjecture of Raskind that predicts the surjectivity of $$ ({\rm NS}(X_{\bar{K}}) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Q}_p)^{G_K} \longrightarrow H^2_{\rm…
In this paper, we prove the "local epsilon-isomorphism conjecture" of Fukaya and Kato for a particular class of Galois modules obtained by tensoring a Zp-lattice in a crystalline representation of the Galois group of Qp with a…
We present a Serre-type conjecture on the modularity of four-dimensional symplectic mod p Galois representations. We assume that the Galois representation is irreducible and odd (in the symplectic sense). The modularity condition is…
We prove modularity of certain residually reducible ordinary 2-dimensional $p$-adic Galois representations with determinant a finite order odd character $\chi$. For certain non-quadratic $\chi$ we prove an $R=T$ result for $T$ the weight 1…
We formulate a Serre-type conjecture for n-dimensional Galois representations that are tamely ramified at p. The weights are predicted using a representation-theoretic recipe. For n = 3 some of these weights were not predicted by the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $K_{f}$ the finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ of degree $f$, and $G_{K_{f}}$ its absolute Galois group. We construct analytic families of \'etale $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules which give rise to…
The Torsion Anomalous Conjecture states that an irreducible variety $V$ embedded in a semi-abelian variety contains only finitely many maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties. In this paper we consider an irreducible variety embedded in a…
N. Katz has shown that any irreducible representation of the Galois group of F_q((t)) has unique extension to a special representation of the Galois group of k(t) unramified outside 0 and infinity and tamely ramified at infinity. In this…
Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…
Suppose that F/F+ is a CM extension of number fields in which the prime p splits completely and every other prime is unramified. Fix a place w|p of F. Suppose that rbar : Gal(F-bar/F) -> GL_3(Fp-bar) is a continuous irreducible Galois…
We determine the local deformation rings of sufficiently generic mod $l$ representations of the Galois group of a $p$-adic field, when $l \neq p$, relating them to the space of $q$-power-stable semisimple conjugacy classes in the dual…
We show that loci of crystalline representations of $G_K$ for $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ an unramified extension are irreducible when the Hodge--Tate weights are fixed and sufficiently small. This was previously known for weights in the interval…
In this paper we extend a conjecture of Ash and Sinnott relating niveau one Galois representation to the mod p cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL(n,Z) to include Galois representations of higher niveau. We then present computational…
We prove Breuil's lattice conjecture for higher Hodge-Tate weights in the case of $\mathrm{GL}_2(K)$ where $K$ is an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. More precisely, under some genericity conditions, we show that the lattice inside a…
Let $K$ be a number field and $A/K$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$. Assuming that the image $G_{\ell^\infty}$ of the natural Galois representation attached to the Tate module $T_\ell(A)$ is $\operatorname{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$…
Let E/F be a CM field split above a finite place v of F, let l be a rational prime number which is prime to v, and let S be the set of places of E dividing lv. If E_S denotes a maximal algebraic extension of E unramified outside S, and if u…
