Building upon work of Clozel, Harris, Shepherd-Barron, and Taylor, this paper shows that certain Galois representations become automorphic after one makes a suitably large totally-real extension to the base field. The main innovation here…
We generalize the main result of arXiv:1206.6631 [math.NT] to all totally real fields. In other words, for $p>2$ prime, we prove (under a mild Taylor-Wiles hypothesis) that if a modular representation is unramified and $p$-distinguished at…
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 CM field, let $p$ be a prime number. The goal of this paper is to show, under mild conditions, that the modulo $p$ cohomology of the locally symmetric spaces $X$ for $GL_2(F)$ with level prime to $p$ is concentrated in degrees…
Let $p>3$ be a prime, $n>1$ be an integer, and $F$ be a non-archimedean local field with residue field a proper finite extension of $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let $E$ be an algebraically closed countable field extension of the residue field of $F$. In…
We study an analogue of Serre's modularity conjecture for projective representations $\overline{\rho}: \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \rightarrow \operatorname{PGL}_2(k)$, where $K$ is a totally real number field. We prove new cases…
We prove that for a Hecke cuspform $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N),\chi)$ and a prime $l>\max\{k,6\}$ such that $l\nmid N$, there exists an infinite family $\{k_r\}_{r\geq 1}\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$ such that for each $k_r$, there is a cusp form…
Let $E\supseteq F$ be a field extension and $M$ a graded Lie algebra of maximal class over $E$. We investigate the $F$-subalgebras $L$ of $M$, generated by elements of degree $1$. We provide conditions for $L$ being either ideally…
We prove a new automorphy lifting theorem for l-adic representations where we impose a new condition at l, which we call `potential diagonalizability'. This result allows for `change of weight' and seems to be substantially more flexible…
We prove automorphy lifting theorems for 2-dimensional Galois representations of absolute Galois groups of totally real fields when the residual representation is of "exceptional" type. This exceptional case is when we are in characteristic…
The lifting problem for curves with automorphisms asks whether we can lift a smooth projective characteristic p curve with a group G of automorphisms to characteristic zero. This was solved by Grothendieck when G acts with prime-to-p…
In 2018, Legrand and Paran proved a weaker form of the Inverse Galois Problem for all Hilbertian fields and all finite groups: that is, there exist possibly non-Galois extensions over given Hilbertian base field with given finite group as…
We study the automorphisms of the non-split Cartan modular curves $X_{ns}(p)$ of prime level $p$. We prove that if $p\geq 37$ all the automorphisms preserve the cusps. Furthermore, if $p\equiv 1\text{ mod }12$ and $p\neq 13$, the…
We prove that if F is a finitely generated free group and f:F -> F is an automorphism with polynomial growth of degree d, then there exists a characteristic subgroup S < F of finite index such that the induced automorphism of the…
Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…
We prove that many representations $\overline{\rho} : \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \to \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_3)$, where $K$ is a CM field, arise from modular elliptic curves. We prove similar results when the prime $p = 3$…
Given a natural number n and a number field K, we show the existence of an integer \ell_0 such that for any prime number \ell\geq \ell_0, there exists a finite extension F/K, unramified in all places above \ell, together with a principally…
We give a function field specific, algebraic proof of the main results of class field theory for abelian extensions of degree coprime to the characteristic. By adapting some methods known for number fields and combining them in a new way,…
We show that all Chein automorphisms (or one-row transformations) of lower degree $\geq 4$ of a free metabelian Lie algebra $M_n$ of rank $n\geq 4$ over an arbitrary field $K$ of characteristic $\neq 3$ are tame. We then show that all…
We show that a plt surface singularity $(P\in X,B)$ is $F$-liftable if and only if it is $F$-pure and is not a rational double point of type $E_8^1$ in characteristic $p=5$. As a consequence, we prove the logarithmic extension theorem for…
