In this article I study the variation of Selmer groups in families of modular Galois representations that are congruent modulo a fixed prime $p \geq 5$. Motivated by analogies with Goldfeld's conjecture on ranks in quadratic twist families…
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 extend Colmez's functor defined for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$ to the category of finitely generated smooth admissible mod-$p$ representations of the two-fold metaplectic cover of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$. We compute…
We prove that the dual fine Selmer group of an abelian variety over the unramified $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension of a function field is finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$. This is a function field version of a conjecture of…
We show that under a suitable oddness condition, irreducible mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group of an arbitrary number field have characteristic zero lifts which are unramified outside a finite set of primes and…
Let p > 2 be prime. We state and prove (under mild hypotheses on the residual representation) a geometric refinement of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp. We also state…
In this paper, we prove a minimal modularity lifting theorem for Galois representations (conjecturally) associated to Siegel modular forms of genus two which are holomorphic limits of discrete series at infinity.
We consider deformations of bounded complexes of modules for a profinite group G over a field of positive characteristic. We prove a finiteness theorem which provides some sufficient conditions for the versal deformation of such a complex…
We construct an Euler system in the cohomology of the tensor product of the Galois representations attached to two modular forms, using elements in the higher Chow groups of products of modular curves. We use this Euler system to prove a…
We construct three-variable $p$-adic families of Galois cohomology classes attached to Rankin convolutions of modular forms, and prove an explicit reciprocity law relating these classes to critical values of L-functions. As a consequence,…
We study deformation theory of mod $p$ Galois representations of $p$-adic fields with values in generalised tori, such as $L$-groups of (possibly non-split) tori. We show that the corresponding deformation rings are formally smooth over a…
In this paper we study deformations of mod $p$ Galois representations $\tau$ (over an imaginary quadratic field $F$) of dimension $2$ whose semi-simplification is the direct sum of two characters $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. As opposed to our…
In the presence of a nontrivial dual Selmer group, certain global even deformation rings are shown to be finite and flat over $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Previously, flatness was only known in established cases of Langlands reciprocity in the odd…
We consider mod $p$ Hilbert modular forms for a totally real field $F$, viewed as sections of automorphic line bundles on Hilbert modular varieties in prime characteristic $p$. For a Hecke eigenform of arbitrary weight, we prove the…
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…
We prove some new cases of weight part of Serre's conjectures for mod $p$ Galois representations associated to automorphic representations on unitary groups $U(d)$. The approach is a generalization of the work of Gee-Liu-Savitt, namely, we…
Using $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$, we prove that the support of patched modules constructed by Caraiani, Emerton, Gee, Geraghty, Paskunas, and Shin meet every irreducible component of the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q$ a power of $p$. We examine the deformation theory of reducible and indecomposable Galois representations $\bar{\rho}:G_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \text{GSp}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that are unramified outside a…
We prove an integral R = T theorem for odd two dimensional p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group which are unramified at p, extending results of [CG] to the non-minimal case. We prove, for any p, the existence of Katz modular…
Let $s$ be even and $q=p^s$. We show that the ring $W(\mathbb{F}_{q})[\![X]\!]/(X^2-pX)$ is a quotient of the universal deformation ring of a representation of a finite group. This amounts to giving an example of a finite group and its…
