Let $G$ be a finite classical group of Lie type of rank $\ell$, defined over a field of characteristic $p>2$. In this work, we classify the irreducible representations of $G$ whose dimensions are bounded by a constant proportional to…

In this paper, we consider Galois representations of the absolute Galois group $\text{Gal}(\overline {\mathbb Q}/\mathbb Q)$ attached to modular forms for noncongruence subgroups of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. When the underlying modular…

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We determine the Lubin-Tate $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules associated to the absolutely irreducible mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group ${\rm Gal}(\bar{F}/F)$.

The first part of the paper gives a new proof of self-duality for Selmer groups: if A is an abelian variety over a number field K, and F/K is a Galois extension with Galois group G, then the Q_pG-representation naturally associated to the…

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…

The deformation theory of ordinary representations of the absolute Galois groups of totally real number fields (over a finite field $k$) has been studied for a long time, starting with the work of Hida, Mazur and Tilouine, and continued by…

We prove that the universal unramified deformation ring $R^{\mathrm{unr}}$ of a continuous Galois representation $\overline{\rho}: G_{F^{+}} \rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_n(k)$ (for a totally real field $F^{+}$ and finite field $k$) is finite…

We prove analogues of the major algebraic results of Greenberg-Vatsal for Selmer groups of $p$-ordinary newforms over $\mathbf{Z}_p$-extensions which may be neither cyclotomic nor anticyclotomic, under a number of technical hypotheses,…

We show that framed deformation rings of mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group of a $p$-adic local field are complete intersections of expected dimension. We determine their irreducible components and show that they and their…

In recent work, the authors proved a general result on lifting $G$-irreducible odd Galois representations $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F) \to G(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_{\ell})$, with $F$ a totally real number field and $G$ a reductive group, to…

We prove that, on average, elliptic curves over Q have finitely many primes p for which they possess a p-adic point of order p. We include a discussion of applications to companion forms and the deformation theory of Galois representations.

We give a notion of $p$-adic families of Hecke eigenforms that allows for the slope of the forms be infinite at $p$. We prove that, contrary to the case of finite slope when every eigenform lives in a Hida or Coleman family, the only…

We prove a companion forms theorem for mod l Hilbert modular forms. This work generalises results of Gross and Coleman--Voloch for modular forms over Q, and gives a new proof of their results in many cases. The methods used are completely…

Let E be a CM number field, F its maximal totally real subfield, c the generator of Gal(E/F), p an odd prime totally split in E, and S a finite set of places of E containing the places above p. Let r : G_{E,S} --> GL_3(F_p^bar) be a…

We provide applications to studying the behavior of Selmer groups under specialization. We consider Selmer groups associated to four dimensional Galois representations coming from (i) the tensor product of two cuspidal Hida families $F$ and…

We investigate fine Selmer groups for elliptic curves and for Galois representations over a number field. More specifically, we discuss Conjecture A, which states that the fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve over the cyclotomic extension…

Let p be a prime number and M a quadratic number field, M not equal to Q(\sqrt{p}) if p is congruent to 1 modulo 4. We will prove that for any positive integer d there exists a Galois extension F/Q with Galois group D_{2p} and an elliptic…

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field k and F a finite Galois extension of k. Let p be a prime number. Then under certain not-too-stringent conditions on A and F we investigate the explicit Galois structure of the…

We prove completeness for the main examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and some related topological groups.

For a compact smooth manifold $M$ (with boundary) we prove that the topological rank of the diffeomorphism group Diff$_0^k(M)$ is finite for all $k\geq 1$. This extends a result from [2] where the same claim is proved in the special case of…
