Deligne's letter to Jean-Pierre Serre

I'm looking for another letter of Pierre Deligne, this time to Jean-Pierre Serre (from around 1974 I think), in which he proves that the Galois representation associated to a certain Hecke eigenform ...

Irreducibility of Galois representations attached to unitary groups

If $G$ is a unitary group in $n$ variables over $\mathbb Q$, attached to an hermitian form for an imaginary quadratic extension $E/\mathbb Q$ and if we suppose that the hermitian form is definite over ...

Where does the notation $\operatorname{Tr}(\cdot)\bmod \ell^\alpha$ implies isomorphism come from?

In J-P Serre's article on Faltings-Serre (Resume du Course 1984-1985) he states (without proof) that for two finite-dimensional $\ell$-adic Galois representations of $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q})$, ...

Bloch Kato Exponential as formal lie group exponential

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field and $V$ a $p$-adic representation. In their paper on tamagawa numbers of motives, Bloch and Kato define an exponential map as the connecting homomorphism $$DR(V) \...

Do infinite and ramified local factors of the Dedekind zeta function of a tame number field characterize its local root numbers?

Let say you have two number fields, that are tamely ramified, and suppose that the $p$-part of their Dedekind zeta functions coincide for all prime $p$ which is ramified in either field. Suppose ...

Description of $\operatorname{Gal}(K(E[n])/K)$ as a subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$ for a CM elliptic curve $E$

I am looking for a specific description of the Galois groups $\operatorname{Gal}(K(E[n])/K)$ as a subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$ for an elliptic curve $E$ with complex ...

Finiteness of points over the cyclotomic extension for modular forms

Let $\rho(f):G_\mathbb{Q} \rightarrow GL_2(K_f)$ be the Galois representation attached to some cuspidal modular form $f$ where $K_f$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $V_f$ be the vector ...

Are there known effective bounds on the number of semisimple Galois representations?

In continuation to my question here, are there known effective bounds on the total number of semisimple $p$-adic Galois representations unramified outside a finite set of primes $S$, of dimension $d$, ...

Multiplicities of Galois representations in the semisimplification of the reduction of a Tate module

Let $C$ be a smooth proper curve, of genus $g$ over a number field $K$. Let $v$ be a prime of good reduction for $C$ above $p>2$, and let $T_pJ$ denote the $p$-adic Tate module of $J$, the Jacobian ...

Analytic properties of $L$-functions attached to a compatible system of $\ell$-adic Galois representations

Let $F$ and $E$ be number fields, $G_F$ be the absolute Galois group of $F$, and $S$ be a finite set of primes of $F$. For $\lambda$ a prime of $E$ we denote by $\ell$ its residual characteristic. We ...

Construction of RM abelian variety from eigenform

Let $f$ be a normalized eigenform of weight $2$ level $N$. If the Fourier coefficients of $f$ generate a totally real field $F$, then we associate to $f$ a system of $\ell$-adic Galois representations ...
