Quotients of Tate modules

Although this question isn't really well-defined (you'd surely need to be more precise about the word "canonical" in the comment under the question) let me make two comments which hopefully put this t …

Analogue of Shimura curves in the symplectic case?

My understanding is this: one can attach 2-d Galois representations to classical modular eigenforms because one can look in the etale cohomology of modular curves. For Hilbert modular forms the naive …

weight 4 eigenforms with rational coefficients---is it reasonable to expect they all come fr...

A weight 2 modular form which happens to be a normalised cuspidal eigenform with rational coefficients has a natural geometric avatar---namely an elliptic curve over the rationals. It seems to be a su …

Intuition behind the Eichler-Shimura relation?

Let me highlight some issues that Emerton doesn't: 1) you seem to hint that you don't know that modular forms can be viewed as a product of a bunch of local terms. So there is an adelic story, where …

Etale cohomology -- Why study it?

$\DeclareMathOperator{\gal}{Gal}$ Here's a comment which one can make to differential geometers which at least explains what etale cohomology "does". Given an algebraic variety over the reals, say a s …
