Generically, one can attach to a Q-curve C octahedral representations Gal(Qbar/Q) --> GL(2,Fbar_3) coming from the Galois action on the 3-torsion of those abelian varieties of GL_2-type whose building block is C. When C is defined over a…

Let K be a fixed number field and G its absolute Galois group. We give a bound C(K), depending only on the degree, the class number and the discriminant of K, such that for any elliptic curve E defined over K and any prime number p strictly…

Let $p >= 5$ be a prime and $E$ an elliptic curve without complex multiplication and let $K_\infty=Q(E[p^\infty])$ be a pro-$p$ Galois extension over a number field $K$. We consider $X(E/K_\infty)$, the Pontryagin dual of the $p$-Selmer…

In 2000, Darmon introduced the notion of Frey representations within the framework of the modular method for studying the generalized Fermat equation. A central step in this program is the computation of their conductors, with the case at…

We present a database of rational elliptic curves, up to Q-isomorphism, with good reduction outside {2,3,5,7,11,13}. We provide a heuristic involving the abc and BSD conjectures that the database is likely to be the complete set of such…

We show that a sufficient condition for an irreducible automorphic Galois representation $\rho: G_F\to\mathrm{GL}_2({\overline{{\bf F}}_p})$ of a totally real field $F$ to have an automorphic crystalline lift is that for each place $v$ of…

Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime. Let $k = b + c(p-1)$ be an integer in $[2p+2, p^2 - p +3]$, where $b \in [2,p]$ and $c \in [2, p-1]$. We prove local constancy in the weight space of the mod $p$ reduction of certain two-dimensional crystalline…

We consider questions in Galois cohomology which arise by considering mod $p$ Galois representations arising from automorphic forms. We consider a Galois cohomological analog for the standard heuristics about the distribution of Wieferich…

Given a non-CM elliptic curve E over Q, define the ``torsion conductor'' m_E to be the smallest positive integer so that the Galois representation on the torsion of E has image Pi^{-1}(Gal(Q(E[m_E])/Q), where Pi denotes the natural…

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 $k$…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $e_p$ be its irregularity index. If $4e_p+8 <\frac{p-1}{2}$ we construct a Galois representation with image in the diagonal torus of $\op{GSp}_4(\Fp)$ that lifts to a characteristic $0$ representation unramified…

We show that if F is the rational numbers or a multiquadratic number field, p is 2,3, or 5, and K/F is a Galois extension of degree a power of p, then for elliptic curves E/Q ordered by height, the average dimension of the p-Selmer groups…

In his previous paper (Math. Res. Letters 7(2000), 123--132) the author proved that in characteristic zero the jacobian $J(C)$ of a hyperelliptic curve $C: y^2=f(x)$ has only trivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of the ground…

We consider the family of irreducible crystalline representations of dimension $2$ of ${\rm Gal}(\overline{\bf Q}_p/{\bf Q}_p)$ given by the $V_{k,a_p}$ for a fixed weight integer $k\geq 2$. We study the locus of the parameter $a_p$ where…
