This is an exposition of our joint work with Kakde, Silliman, and Wang, in which we prove a version of Ribet's Lemma for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ in the residually indistinguishable case. We suppose we are given a Galois representation taking values…
Using the link between mod $p$ Galois representations of $\qu$ and mod $p$ modular forms established by Serre's Conjecture, we compute, for every prime $p\leq 1999$, a lower bound for the number of isomorphism classes of continuous Galois…
For a rational prime $p \geq 3$ and an integer $n \geq 2$, we study the modularity of continuous 2-dimensional mod $p^n$ Galois representations of $\Gal(\bar{\Q}/\Q)$ whose residual representations are odd and absolutely irreducible. Under…
In the preprint we present an outline of the one dimensional version of topological Galois theory. The theory studies topological obstruction to solvability of equations "in finite terms" (i.e. to their solvabilty by radicals, by elementary…
This article deals with the Galois representation attached to elliptic curves with an isogeny of prime degree over a number field. We first determine uniform criteria for the irreducibility of Galois representations attached to elliptic…
Let $(\mathbb{T}_f,\mathfrak{m}_f)$ denote the mod $p$ local Hecke algebra attached to a normalised Hecke eigenform $f$, which is a commutative algebra over some finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ and with residue field…
In this paper we extend a conjecture of Ash and Sinnott relating niveau one Galois representation to the mod p cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL(n,Z) to include Galois representations of higher niveau. We then present computational…
Ribet's method provides a strategy for constructing a nontrivial extension of a $p$-adic Galois representation $\rho_1$ by another such representation $\rho_2$. Suppose we are working over a local ring. An important assumption that occurs…
The global deformation theory of residually reducible Galois representations with fixed auxiliary conditions is studied. We show that $\bar{\rho}:\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow…
This is an updated and extended version of ANT-0024. We prove more special cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture regarding p-adic Galois representations unramified at p, and we present evidence for and consequences of a generalization of…
We study Hopf-Galois extensions with central invariants for a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. We collect general facts about them and discuss some examples arising in the study of restricted Lie algebras and quantum groups at roots of…
We construct extensions of the field of rational numbers with the Galois group G_2(F_p) by reducing p-adic representations attached to automorphic representations.
We study irreducible mod p representations, valued in general reductive groups, of the Galois group of a number field. When the number field is totally real, we show that odd representations satisfying local ramification hypotheses and a…
We prove (under certain assumptions) the irreducibility of the limit $\sigma_2$ of a sequence of irreducible essentially self-dual Galois representations $\sigma_k: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \to \mathrm{GL}_4(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p)$ (as $k$…
The conjecture of Serre referred in the title is the one about modularity of odd Galois representations into GL(2,F) where F is a finite field of characteristic p. We present an analogous conjecture where GL(2) is replaced by GL(n). We…
Let $p\geq 7$ be a prime and $n>1$ be a natural number. We show that there exist infinitely many Galois representations $\varrho:Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow GL_{n}(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which are unramified outside $\{p, \infty\}$…
In this preprint we present an outline of the multidimensional version of topological Galois theory. The theory studies topological obstruction to solvability of equations "in finite terms" (i.e. to their solvability by radicals, by…
We consider the Galois representation associated with a finite slope $p$-adic family of modular forms. We prove that the Lie algebra of its image contains a congruence Lie subalgebra of a non-trivial level. We describe the largest such…
We consider distinction of representations in the context of $p$-adic Galois symmetric spaces. We provide new sufficient conditions for distinction of parabolically induced representations in terms of similar conditions on the inducing data…
We prove a zig-zag conjecture describing the reductions of irreducible crystalline two-dimensional representations of $G_{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}$ of slope $\frac{3}{2}$ and exceptional weights. This along with previous works completes the…
