Let $C$ be a genus two hyperelliptic curve over a totally real field $F$. We show that the mod 2 Galois representation $\bar{\rho}_{C,2}\colon\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{F}/F)\to \mathrm{GSp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)$ attached to $C$ is automorphic when the…
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 $k$…

We study Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties over finitely generated fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give sufficient conditions for such representations to decompose as a product, and apply them to prove…
Let $\overline{\rho}: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \rightarrow {\rm GSp}_4(\mathbf{F}_3)$ be a continuous Galois representation with cyclotomic similitude character -- or, what turns out to be equivalent, the Galois representation associated to the…
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…
We give a summary of results for dimensions of spaces of cuspidal Siegel modular forms of degree 2. These results together with a list of dimensions of the irreducible representations of the finite groups GSp(4,Fp) are then used to produce…
Let $n \geq 2$ and $p$ be a prime. Let $K$ be a number field and consider two Galois representations $\rho_1, \rho_2 : \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \to \operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ having residual image a $p$-group. We explain…
In this paper we discuss applications of our earlier work in studying certain Galois groups and splitting fields of rational functions in $\mathbb Q\left(X_0(N)\right)$ using Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and modular forms. We also…
We interpret Galois covers in terms of particular monoidal functors, extending the correspondence between torsors and fiber functors. As applications we characterize tame $G$-covers between normal varieties for finite and \'etale group…
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 prove the existence of GSpin-valued Galois representations corresponding to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of general symplectic groups over totally real number fields under the local hypothesis that there is a…
We consider a mod 7 Galois representation attached to a genus 2 Siegel cuspforms of level 1 and weight 28 and using some of its Fourier coefficients and eigenvalues computed by N. Skoruppa and the classification of maximal subgroups of…
In this article, we distinguish Siegel cuspidal eigenforms of degree two on the full symplectic group from the signs of their Hecke eigenvalues. To establish our theorem, we obtain a result towards simultaneous sign changes of eigenvalues…
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…
Given a holomorphic newform $f$ of weight $k$ and with rational coefficients, a question of Mazur and van Straten asks if there is an associated Calabi-Yau variety $X$ over ${\mathbb Q}$ of dimension $k-1$ such that the $\ell$-adic Galois…
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…

Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime, and let $f$ be a cuspidal eigenform of weight at least $2$ and level coprime to $p$ of finite slope $\alpha$. Let $\bar{\rho}_f$ denote the mod $p$ Galois representation associated with $f$ and $\omega$ the mod $p$…
In this paper, we associate Galois representations to globally generic cuspidal automorphic representations on GSp(4), over a totally real field F, which are Steinberg at some finite place. This association is compatible with the local…
