Jul 14, 2011 at 10:43 comment added Laurent Berger Of course, there's also the fact that a representation is trianguline if the matrices of $\phi$ and $\gamma$ on its $(\phi,\Gamma)$-module are upper triangular.
Jul 14, 2011 at 10:42 comment added Laurent Berger Colmez invented it. Here are the man's own words "Le triangle est un instrument de musique dont le son (triangulin (?)) est presque cristallin... ".
Jul 14, 2011 at 7:17 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Who came up with the word "trianguline"? Maybe not everyone should be allowed to invent words...! :)

Jul 14, 2011 at 3:36 comment added David Hansen Thanks for the remarks! Indeed, I swept the necessity of a refinement under the carpet with the word "roughly", though perhaps this was (ironically) too rough.
Jul 14, 2011 at 3:23 comment added Emerton If you just close up crystalline points in a local deformation space, you will get the whole space. (See Kisin's article in the 2nd p-adic Langlands volume of Asterisque.) In order to have the closure be trianguline reps. (rather than all reps.) you need to add a refinement at every point. So whatever $B$ is (if it does exist), it will involve not just a Galois representation, but a Galois representation together with a refinement. (And note that, beyond the 2-dimensional case, it's not so clear --- at least to me --- how one should define the notion of refinement.)
