Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…

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 give a method of constructing polynomials of arbitrarily large degree irreducible over a global field F but reducible modulo every prime of F. The method consists of finding quadratic f in F[x] whose iterates have the desired property,…

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…

We prove several results concerning the existence of potentially crystalline lifts with prescribed Hodge-Tate weights and inertial types of a given n-dimensional mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of K, where K/Q_p is a…

We show that an infinite family of odd complex 2-dimensional Galois representations ramified at 5 having nonsolvable projective image are modular, thereby verifying Artin's conjecture for a new case of examples. Such a family contains the…

We describe a generalization of the large sieve to situations where the underlying groups are nonabelian, and give several applications to the arithmetic of abelian varieties. In our applications, we sieve the set of primes via the system…

The zig-zag conjecture says that the reductions of two-dimensional crystalline representations of the Galois group of ${\mathbb {Q}}_p$ of large exceptional weights and half-integral slopes up to $\frac{p-1}{2}$ vary through an alternating…

For a prime $p,$ let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{F}_p.$ The restriction of an irreducible mod $p$ representation of $\text{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ to its subgroup $\text{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ can be seen as a tensor product…

For an odd prime $p$, we realize the trivial representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z})$ on the free $\mathbb{Z}/p^n \mathbb{Z}$-module of rank one as a subquotient of a direct sum of symmetric power representations (twisted…

We compute new polynomials with Galois group $M_{11}$ over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$. These polynomials stem from various families of covers of $\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{C}$ ramified over at least 4 points. Each of these families has features that make a…

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…

Let $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension. We explore the universal supersingular mod $p$ representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(F)$ through computing a basis of their invariant space under the pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup. This generalizes works…

In this paper, we classify all continuous Galois representations $\rho:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p)$ which are unramified outside $\{p,\infty\}$ and locally induced at $p$, under…

In this paper we generalize results of P. Le Duff to genus n hyperelliptic curves. More precisely, let C/Q be a hyperelliptic genus n curve and let J(C) be the associated Jacobian variety. Assume that there exists a prime p such that J(C)…

We prove new cases of the inverse Galois problem by considering the residual Galois representations arising from a fixed newform. Specific choices of weight $3$ newforms will show that there are Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois…

Let F be a totally real field, and v a place of F dividing an odd prime p. We study the weight part of Serre's conjecture for continuous, totally odd, two-dimensional mod p representations rhobar of the absolute Galois group of F that are…

In this paper we interpret the solutions to a particular Galois embedding problem over an extension K/F whose Galois group is a finite, cyclic p group in terms of certain Galois submodules within the parameterizing space of elementary…

We present six examples of 3-dimensional mod p Galois representations of type A_6 for which we were able to obtain computational evidence for the generalization of Serre's Conjecture proposed by Ash, Doud, Pollack, and Sinnott. We also…

This paper generalises previous work of the author to the setting of overconvergent $p$-adic automorphic forms for a definite quaternion algebra over a totally real field. We prove results which are analogues of classical `level raising'…
