We define a notion of pseudo-unitarizability for weight modules over a generalized Weyl algebra (of rank one, with commutative coeffiecient ring $R$), which is assumed to carry an involution of the form $X^*=Y$, $R^*\subseteq R$. We prove…

We prove an analogue of the main result of Buzzard and Taylor (Annals of Mathematics 149 (1999), 905-919) for totally real fields in which p is unramified. This can be used to prove certain cases of the strong Artin conjecture over totally…

The weights for a finite group G with respect to a prime number p where introduced by Jon Alperin, in order to formulate his celebrated conjecture affirming that that the number of G-conjugacy classes of weights of G coincides with the…

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…

In this survey paper we present recent results obtained by Khare, Wintenberger and the author that have led to a proof of Serre's conjecture, such as existence of compatible families, modular upper bounds for universal deformation rings and…

Let p be an odd prime and F a totally real number field. Let f be a Hilbert cuspidal eigenform of parallel weight 2, trivial Nebentypus and ordinary at p. It is possible to construct a p-adic L-function which interpolates the complex…

Eggert's Conjecture says that if R is a finite-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebra over a perfect field F of characteristic p, and R^{(p)} is the image of the p-th power map on R, then dim_F R \geq p dim_F R^{(p)}. Whether this very…

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…

Let $N/K$ be a finite Galois extension of $p$-adic number fields and let $\rho^\mathrm{nr} : G_K \to \mathrm{Gl}_r(\mathbb Z_p)$ be an $r$-dimensional unramified representation of the absolute Galois group $G_K$ which is the restriction of…

Suppose F=W(k)[1/p] where W(k) is the ring of Witt vectors with coefficients in algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>2. We construct integral theory of p-adic semi-stable representations of the absolute Galois group of F with…

We prove that every odd semisimple reducible (2-dimensional) mod l Galois representation arises from a cuspidal eigenform. In addition, we investigate the possible different types (level, weight, character) of such a modular form. When the…

We prove the semisimplicity conjecture for A-motives over finitely generated fields K. This conjecture states that the rational Tate modules V_p(M) of a semisimple A-motive M are semisimple as representations of the absolute Galois group of…

We give an explicit construction of test vectors for $T$-equivariant linear functionals on representations $\Pi$ of $GL_2$ of a $p$-adic field $F$, where $T$ is a non-split torus. Of particular interest is the case when both the…

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…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group in defining characteristic $p>0$, and let $V$ be an irreducible $G$-module which is the tensor product of exactly two non-trivial modules. We obtain a criterion for $V$ to have the zero weight. In…

We give a parametrization of the possible Serre invariants $(N,k,\nu)$ of modular mod $\ell$ Galois representations of the exceptional types $A_4$, $S_4$, $A_5$, in terms of local data attached to the fields cut out by the associated…

Let $G$ be a cyclic $p$-group for some prime number $p>0$ and let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring in mixed characteristic. In this paper, we present a generalization of two results that characterize $RG$-permutation modules,…

The modularity of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ can be expressed either as an analytic statement that the $L$-function is the Mellin transform of a modular form, or as a geometric statement that $E$ is a quotient of a modular curve…

Our main result in this article is a proof (under mild technical assumptions) of an analogue for $p$-adic Galois representations attached to a newform $f$ of even weight $k\geq4$ of Kolyvagin's conjecture on the $p$-indivisibility of…
