Depth of the filtration of higher ramification groups in the ramified case in Serre's modularity conjecture
I am studying Serre's paper "Sur les représentations modulaires de degré 2 de $\mathrm{Gal(\overline{\mathbb Q}/\mathbb Q)}$" and I have some questions about Serre's definition of "peu ...

Symmetric power lift of modular forms
Let $f_1$ and $f_2$ be two cuspforms of weights $k_1$ and $k_2$ and nebentypus $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$ respectively such that $f_1 \neq f_2 \otimes \chi$ for some Dirichlet character $\chi$ of ...

Irreducibility of the $n$th symetric power of the reduction of the Galois representation of a non-CM newform
In "On $\ell$-adic representations attached to modular forms II", Ribet proved that the $\ell$-adic representation $\rho_{f,\ell}$ attached to a non-CM newform form $f$ satisfies
$${\rm SL}...

Hilbert modular form as a representation of Hecke algebra
I am reading some notes by Snowden and I don't understand a sentence.
Clearly, if we have an appropriate $R = T$
theorem then we get a modularity lifting theorem, as $\rho$ defines a homomorphism ...

Are there Maass forms where the expected Galois representation is $\ell$-adic?
Recall that by theorems of Deligne and Deligne--Serre, there is the following dichotomy:
Modular forms on the upper half plane of level $N$ and weight $k\geq 2$ correspond to representations $\rho:\...

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 ...

Serre's conjecture for mod-p^n representations?
I think this may be a silly question, but here goes. Let $\rho:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbf{F}_p})$ be a representation; say $\rho$ is of S-type ...
