For every prime number $p\geq 3$ and every integer $m\geq 1$, we prove the existence of a continuous Galois representation $\rho: G_\mathbb{Q} \rightarrow Gl_m(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which has open image and is unramified outside $\{p,\infty\}$…

In this paper we show how to construct, for most p >= 5, two types of surjective representations \rho:G_Q=Gal(\bar{Q}/Q) -> GL_2(Z_p) that are ramified at an infinite number of primes. The image of inertia at almost all of these primes will…
