On the irreducible submodules of adjoint representations $\text{ad}^{0}$
Let $k$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. Let $H$ be a subgroup of $\rm{GL}_{n}(k)$ of order prime to $p$ where $n\geq2$. Assume that the representation $H\hookrightarrow \rm{GL}_{n}(k)$ is ...

Subgroups of ${\rm GL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}/2^{n} \mathbb{Z})$
Assume that $n \geq 3$. Is there a subgroup $H \leq {\rm GL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}/2^{n} \mathbb{Z})$ whose order is a power of $2$ so that
$\bullet$ $\det : H \to (\mathbb{Z}/2^{n} \mathbb{Z})^{\times}$ is ...

Reference showing no proper subgroups of p-adic orthogonal groups surject onto mod p orthogonal groups
I am looking for a reference for the following statement:
Let $O$ be an orthogonal group associated to a nondegenerate quadratic form of rank $r$ over the p-adic integers $\mathbb Z_p$. Suppose $r$ is ...

How to construct this non-geometric mod $p$ Galois representation?
Let $ K $ be a totally real cubic field. I am concerned with the following kind of Inverse Galois Problem:
Is there a prime $ p>5 $ and a continuous representation $ \bar{\rho}:G_{K}\to {\rm
GL}_{...

Endomorphism algebras of restricted representations
Let $G$ be a group, and
$$\rho:G\to \mathrm{GL}(V)$$
be an absolutely irreducible, finite-dimensional representation over a characteristic $0$ field $k$. For each finite index subgroup $H\le G$, let
$...

Subgroup structure of certain maximal subgroups of PSL$(3,q)$
I have been reading the paper "On the images of modular and geometric three-dimensional Galois representations" (see also the earlier arXiv preprint). But there is a detail in section 6.2 ...

Faithful representations of free pro-p groups
Let $p$ be a prime number, $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$, $F = F(p,m)$ be the free pro-$p$ group on $m$ generators. For which $(m,n)$ there is a continuous faithful representation (embedding) $\rho : F \...

non-continuous inverse Galois problem
Let $G=Gal(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})$ be the absolute Galois group over $\mathbf{Q}$.
Q1: Is it possible to find a (necessarily non-closed) normal subgroup $K\leq G$ such that
$G/K$ is free of ...

Subgroups of GL(2,q)
I have been wondering about something for a while now, and the simplest incarnation of it is the following question:
Find a finite group that is not a subgroup of any $GL_2(q)$.
Here, $GL_2(q)$ is ...

Cohomology of $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ acting on trace zero matrices over $\mathbb{F}_p$
I've been reading a paper by R.Ramakrishna about lifting Galois representations and at some point he uses the fact that a representation with big image has trivial first cohomology group.
In other ...

Intersection of field extensions of torsion points of non-isogenous elliptic curves
Let $E$ and $E'$ be non-isogenous elliptic curves over a field $k$ (characteristic 0) such that $Gal(k(E[p^{\infty}])/k)=Gal(k(E'[p^{\infty}])/k) = SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ with $p \geq 5$ (where $E[p^{\...

What are the maximal subgroups of GSp(2g,l)?
Is there a nice description of the maximal subgroups of $GSp_{2g}(\mathbb{F}_l)$?
When $g = 1$ this is $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_l)$, and Serre (in his 72 Inventiones paper) classifies its maximal subgroups (...
