Consider a reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. The Galois group Gal(C/Q) acts naturally on the category of smooth complex G-representations. We prove that this action stabilizes the class of standard modules. This…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $\mathrm{End}_{\bar{\mathbb{Q}}}(E)=\mathbb{Z}$ and which admits a non-trivial cyclic $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny. We prove that, for $p>37$, the residual mod $p$ Galois representation…

In a recent preprint, F. Calegari has shown that for $\ell = 2, 3, 5$ and 7 there exist 2-dimensional surjective representations $\rho$ of $\Gal(\bar{\Q}/\Q)$ with values in $\F_\ell$ coming from the $\ell$-torsion points of an elliptic…

Let $F$ be a number field and $p\geq7$ a rational prime. We obtain a simple descent criterion characterising those projective Galois representations $\overline\rho:G_F\to\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for which the corresponding twist…

We study Galois extensions Coinv(M)<M for M an H-comodule algebra and H a Frobenius Hopf algebroid. We obtain generalizations of various theorems in Hopf-Galois theory by Kreimer-Takeuchi, Doi-Takeuchi and Cohen-Fischman-Montgomery. An…

We prove a version of the weight part of Serre's conjecture for mod $p$ Galois representations attached to automorphic forms on rank 2 unitary groups which are non-split at $p$. More precisely, let $F/F^+$ denote a CM extension of a totally…

In this paper we present a description of the Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve defined over a $2$-adic field $K$, in the case where the image of inertia is non-abelian. There are two possibilities for the image of…

Compared with algebraic varieties the local monodromy of Drinfeld modules appears to be hopelessly complex: The image of the wild inertia subgroup under Tate module representations is infinite save for the case of potential good reduction.…

In this paper we show how to explicitly write down equations of hyperelliptic curves over Q such that for all odd primes l the image of the mod l Galois representation is the general symplectic group. The proof relies on understanding the…

We consider elliptic curves $E / \mathbb{Q}$ for which the image of the adelic Galois representation $\rho_E$ is as large as possible given a constraint on the image modulo 2. For such curves, we give a characterization in terms of their…

We give an effective algorithm to determine the endomorphism ring of a Drinfeld module, both over its field of definition and over a separable or algebraic closure thereof. Using previous results we deduce an effective description of the…

We study rational points and torsion points on Drinfeld modular curves defined over rational function fields. As a consequence we derive a conjecture of Schweizer describing completely the torsion of Drinfeld modules of rank two over $\Bbb…

An abelian variety over a number field is called L-abelian variety if, for any element of the absolute Galois group of a number field L, the conjugated abelian variety is isogenous to the given one by means of an isogeny that preserves the…

We describe the construction which takes as input a profinite group, which when applied the the absolute Galois group of a geometric field F agrees in some cases with the algebraic K-theory of F. We prove that it agrees in the case of a…

For an extension $K/\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ of the rational function field over a finite field, we introduce the notion of virtually $K$-rational Drinfeld modules as a function field analogue of $\mathbb{Q}$-curves. Our goal in this article is to…

Let~$E$ be a Hilbertian field of characteristic~$0$. R.W.K. Odoni conjectured that for every positive integer~$n$ there exists a polynomial~$f\in E[X]$ of degree~$n$ such that each iterate~$f^{\circ{k}}$ of~$f$ is irreducible and the Galois…

In 1987 Serre conjectured that any mod l ("ell", not "1") two-dimensional irreducible odd representation of the absolute Galois group of the rationals came from a modular form in a precise way. We present a generalisation of this conjecture…

We study the image of the $\ell$-adic Galois representations associated to the four vector valued Siegel modular forms appearing in the work of Chenevier and Lannes. These representations are symplectic of dimension $4$. Following a method…

Let $G$ be a $p$-divisible group over a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ of characteristic $p$. The generic fiber of $G$ determines a Galois representation $\rho$. The image of $\rho$ admits a ramification filtration and a Lie…

We prove useful necessary and sufficient conditions for an elliptic curve over a number field to admit a surjective adelic Galois representation. Using these conditions, we compute an example of a number field K and an elliptic curve E/K…
