What are the local Langlands conjectures nowadays, for connected reductive groups over a $p$-adic field?
Let me stress that I am only interested in $p$-adic fields in this question, for reasons that will become clear later. Let me also stress that in some sense I am basically assuming that the reader ...

Even Galois representations "mod p"
Consider an irreducible $\mathrm{mod}$ $p$ representation:
$$\rho: \mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\to\mathrm{GL}_2(\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p)$$
If $\rho$ is odd, it was conjectured by Serre in ...

To what extent are modular parametrizations expected to generalize?
By the Modularity Theorem (a.k.a. the Shimura--Taniyama--Weil Conjecture), if $E$ is an elliptic curve over $\textbf{Q}$ with conductor $N$, then there exists a “modular parametrization” $\psi: X_0(N) ...

Automorphic forms and coherent cohomology
Why is it (and what does it mean) that automorphic forms do not contribute in the coherent cohomology of Siegel modular varieties parametrizing abelian varieties of dimension $d>2$ (see section 7 ...

Reference for: CM Hilbert Modular forms arise from Hecke characters
For classical modular forms, the correspondence between the form having CM by an imaginary quadratic field $K$ and it being induced from a Hecke character on $K$ is well-known. (Ribet's paper is a ...

Lifting automorphic Galois representations to arithmetic fundamental groups and their quotients
Suppose $V$ is an algebraic variety over a number field $K$. The absolute Galois group $G_K$ of $K$ acts by outer automorphisms on the étale fundamental group $\pi_1(V_{\bar{K}})$ where $\bar{K}$ is ...

Why doesn't functoriality immediately imply the modularity theorem?
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. By the modularity theorem, the prime indexed coefficients of its $L$-function agree with those of a weight $2$ cusp eigenform $f$ with integer coefficients. ...

Modularity of higher genus curves
The modularity conjecture for elliptic curves over number fields is well known, and indeed, is a theorem for all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, and at least potentially, over any CM field.
