We fix $\ell$ a prime and let $M$ be an integer such that $\ell\not|M$; let $f\in S_2(\Gamma_1(M\ell^2))$ be a newform supercuspidal of fixed type related to the nebentypus, at $\ell$ and special at a finite set of primes. Let $\TT^\psi$ be…
We study potentially crystalline deformation rings for a residual, ordinary Galois representation $\overline{\rho}: G_{\mathbb{Q}_p}\rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{F}_p)$. We consider deformations with Hodge-Tate weights $(0,1,2)$ and…
We study algebraic isomonodromic deformations of flat logarithmic connections on the Riemann sphere with $n\geq 4$ poles, for arbitrary rank. We introduce a natural property of algebraizability for the germ of universal deformation of such…
We define deformation rings for potentially semi-stable deformations of fixed discrete series inertial type in dimension $2$. In the case of representations of the Galois group of $\mathbf{Q}_p$, we prove an analogue of the Breuil-M\'ezard…
Let $\mathcal{W}$ be a complete local commutative Noetherian ring with residue field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. We study the inverse problem for the versal deformation rings $R_{\mathcal{W}}(\Gamma,V)$ relative to $\mathcal{W}$ of…
We show that the property of F-regularity does not deform, and thereby settle this longstanding open question in the theory of tight closure. Specifically, we construct a three dimensional domain R which is not F-regular (or even F-pure),…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Let S_4 denote the symmetric group on 4 letters. We determine the universal deformation ring R(S_4,V) for every kS_4-module V…
We study endomorphism rings of principally polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields from a computational viewpoint with a focus on exhaustiveness. In particular, we address the cases of non-ordinary and non-simple varieties. For each…
In this paper we study higher level Deligne--Lusztig representations of reductive groups over discrete valuation rings, with finite residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In previous work we proved that, at even levels, these geometrically…
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…
Interpolating Langlands Quantum Groups of Rank 1 -- We study a certain family, parameterized by an positive integer g, of double deformations of the envelopping algebra U(sl2), in the spirit of arXiv:0809.4453. We prove that each of these…
We prove that the non-ordinary component is connected in the moduli spaces of finite flat models of two-dimensional local Galois representations over finite fields. This was conjectured by Kisin. As an application to global Galois…
Let $ L((T^{-1}))$ be the space of (inverse) Laurent serieswith coefficients in some field $L$. It has a standard degree map and the induced topology. With its usual addition and a new product on this space which is continuous and preserves…
We study the crystalline universal deformation ring R (and its ideal of reducibility I) of a mod p Galois representation rho_0 of dimension n whose semisimplification is the direct sum of two absolutely irreducible mutually non-isomorphic…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Roughly speaking, we prove that an $R$-module $M$ is flat iff it is a direct limit of $R$-module affine algebraic varieties, and $M$ is a flat Mittag-Leffler module iff it is the union of its $R$-submodule…
Let $X$ be a nonempty real variety that is invariant under the action of a reflection group $G$. We conjecture that if $X$ is defined in terms of the first $k$ basic invariants of $G$ (ordered by degree), then $X$ meets a $k$-dimensional…
We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…
We introduce a notion of elliptic differential graded Lie algebra. The class of elliptic algebras contains such examples as the algebra of differential forms with values in endomorphisms of a flat vector bundle over a compact manifold, etc.…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let $W$ be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over $k$. Suppose $D$ is a dihedral 2-group. We prove that the universal deformation ring $R(D,V)$ of an endo-trivial $kD$-module…
For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = End_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can…
