Does Ribet's construction of class fields give us eigenspaces of rank 1?
Ribet's paper on the Herbrand-Ribet theorem constructs a representation $\rho: Gal(\overline{\Bbb Q}/\Bbb Q) \to GL_2(\mathbb F_q)$ where $q = p^r$ of the specific form:
$

Reference request: étale local system on $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ for $\Gamma$ non-congruence
Suppose $\mathcal H$ is the upper half plane, and $\Gamma\subset \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ is a finite index subgroup. Then by Belyi's theorem we know that $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ is an ...

Necessary and sufficient condition for a prime to be represented by an arbitrary positive definite binary quadratic form $ax^2+bxy+cy^2$
Given an arbitrary (but fixed) positive definite primitive integral binary quadratic form $g(x, y)=ax^2+bxy+cy^2$, and let $m$ be an arbitrary integer. We will denote the discriminant of $g$ by $D=D_g=...
