Let $\overline{\rho}: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \rightarrow {\rm GSp}_4(\mathbf{F}_3)$ be a continuous Galois representation with cyclotomic similitude character -- or, what turns out to be equivalent, the Galois representation associated to the…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. We consider the Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariants associated to modular Bloch-Kato Selmer groups, considered over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $g$ be a $p$-ordinary cuspidal…
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…
In this work we provide a level raising theorem for $\mod \lambda^n$ modular Galois representations. It allows one to see such a Galois representation that is modular of level $N$, weight 2 and trivial Nebentypus as one that is modular of…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rational numbers and a prime $p$ at which $E$ has good reduction, we consider the Galois deformation ring parametrizing lifts of the residual representation on the $p$-torsion group $E[p]$. For a…
In 1990, Kraus classified all possible inertia images of the $\ell$-adic Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve over a non-archimedean local field. In previous work, the author computed explicitly the Galois representation of…
We extend Colmez's functor defined for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$ to the category of finitely generated smooth admissible mod-$p$ representations of the two-fold metaplectic cover of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$. We compute…
We prove the modularity of minimally ramified ordinary residually reducible p-adic Galois representations of an imaginary quadratic field F under certain assumptions. We first exhibit conditions under which the residual representation is…
We show that an infinite family of odd complex 2-dimensional Galois representations ramified at 5 having nonsolvable projective image are modular, thereby verifying Artin's conjecture for a new case of examples. Such a family contains the…
We study the distribution of the Galois group of a random $q$-additive polynomial over a rational function field: For $q$ a power of a prime $p$, let $f=X^{q^n}+a_{n-1}X^{q^{n-1}}+\ldots+a_1X^q+a_0X$ be a random polynomial chosen uniformly…
Let $\rho$ be a mod $\ell$ Galois representation attached to a newform $f$. Explicit methods are sometimes able to determine the image of $\rho$, or even the number field cut out by $\rho$, provided that $\ell$ and the level $N$ of $f$ are…
Let $r>2$ and $\ell$ be primes. In this paper we study the mod $\ell$ Galois representations attached to curves of the form $y^r = f(x)$ where $f$ is monic and has coefficients belonging to the $r$-th cyclotomic field. We provide conditions…
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…
In this paper, we investigate hypersurfaces defined over a ring of algebraic integers, and show that if the projection from a point induces a Galois extension over either a number field or the residue field associated with a prime ideal…
We define a pro-$p$ Abelian sheaf on a modular curve of a fixed level $N \geq 5$ divisible by a prime number $p \neq 2$. Every $p$-adic representation of $\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ associated to an eigenform is obtained…
We show that the universal unitary completion of certain locally algebraic representation of $G:=\GL_2(\Qp)$ with $p>2$ is non-zero, topologically irreducible, admissible and corresponds to a 2-dimensional crystalline representation with…
We give a method of constructing polynomials of arbitrarily large degree irreducible over a global field F but reducible modulo every prime of F. The method consists of finding quadratic f in F[x] whose iterates have the desired property,…
We compute the universal deformation ring of an odd Galois two dimensional representation of Gal$(M/Q)$ with an upper triangular image, where $M$ is the maximal abelian pro-$p$-extension of $F_{\infty}$ unramified outside a finite set of…
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero and $X/K$ a smooth projective variety. Fix $q\in\mathbb{N}$. For every prime number $\ell$ let $\rho_\ell$ be the representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(K)$ on the \'etale…
Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ a finite extension of $\mathbf{F}_p$ of cardinal $q$, $l$ a finite extension of $k$ of group $\Sigma=\mathrm{Gal}(l|k)$, and $T$ a subgroup of $l^\times$. Using the method of "little groups", we classify irreducible…
