In this article, we study deformations of conjugate self-dual Galois representations. The study has two folds. First, we prove an R=T type theorem for a conjugate self-dual Galois representation with coefficients in a finite field,…
Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $p$ a prime split in $K$. In this paper we construct an anticyclotomic Euler system for the adjoint representation attached to elliptic modular forms base changed to $K$. We also relate our Euler…
Motivated by the work of Greenberg-Vatsal and Emerton-Pollack-Weston, I investigate the extent to which Mazur's conjecture on the growth of Selmer ranks in $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of an imaginary quadratic field persists under…
We use the adelic language to show that any homomorphism between Jacobians of modular curves arises from a linear combination of Hecke modular correspondences. The proof is based on a study of the actions of $\mathrm{GL}_2$ and Galois on…
We propose a formulation of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras; something which seems to have been heretofore missing because the complexes of…
The Frey--Mazur conjecture states that an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ is determined up to isogeny by its $p$-torsion Galois representation for $p\geq 17$. We study a geometric analog of this conjecture, and show that the map from…
Following Ribet's seminal 1976 paper there have been many results employing congruences between stable cuspforms and lifted forms to construct non-split extensions of Galois representations. We show how this strategy can be extended to…
Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of p-adic fields. We prove that every smooth irreducible ladder representation of the group $GL_n(E)$ which is contragredient to its own Galois conjugate, possesses the expected distinction properties…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and of dimension $g$. Assume that, for each sufficiently large prime $\ell$, $A$ has a surjective residual modulo $\ell$ Galois representation. For $t\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $x>0$, denote…
We first prove the existence of minimally ramified p-adic lifts of 2-dimensional mod p representations, that are odd and irreducible, of the absolute Galois group of Q,in many cases. This is predicted by Serre's conjecture that such…
Let $n=2g+2$ be a positive even integer, $f(x)$ a degree $n$ complex polynomial without multiple roots and $C_f: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve over the field $\C$ of complex numbers. Let a $(g-1)$-dimensional…
We study the cohomology of certain local systems on moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian surfaces with a level 2 structure. The trace of Frobenius on the alternating sum of the \'etale cohomology groups of these local systems can…
The second and third-named authors (arXiv:1705.04115) established a Central Limit Theorem for the error term in the Sato-Tate law for families of modular forms. This method was adapted to families of elliptic curves in by the first and…
In this paper a theory of Hecke operators for higher order modular forms is established. The definition of cusp forms and attached L-functions is extended beyond the realm of parabolic invariants. The role of representation theoretic…
In this paper, we investigate the Rankin-Selberg problem over short intervals in families of holomorphic modular forms and Hecke-Maass cusp forms. Our investigation assumes a Lindel\"of-on-average bound for holomorphic modular forms, and…
The main result of this paper is an instance of the conjecture made by Gouvea and Mazur (Math. Res. Lett., 1995) which asserts that for certain values of r the space of r-overconvergent p-adic modular forms of tame level N and weight k…
In the basic general frame of the Langlands global program, a local p-adic elliptic semimodule corresponding to a local (left) cuspidal form is constructed from its global equivalent covered by p-th roots. In the same context, global and…
Let $(\lambda_f(n))_{n\geqslant1}$ be the Hecke eigenvalues of a holomorphic cusp form $f$. We prove that the exponent of distribution of $\lambda_f*1$ in arithmetic progressions is as large as $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{70}$ when the modulus…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $p$ be a prime of good reduction for $E$. Then, for a prime $p \neq \ell$, the Frobenius automorphism associated to $p$ (unique up to conjugation) acts on the $\ell$-adic Tate module of…
