A class of p-adic Galois representations arising from abelian varierties over Q_p

The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a starting point. It consists mostly of an expanded version of the notes for my two lectures at the "Dwork trimester" in June 2001.

In a previous article, we have proved a result asserting the existence of a compatible family of Galois representations containing a given crystalline irreducible odd two-dimensional representation. We apply this result to establish new cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, namely, an irreducible Barsotti-Tate $\lambda$-adic 2-dimensional Galois representation unramified at 3 and such that the traces $a_p$ of the images of Frobenii verify $\Q(\{a_p^2 \}) = \Q $ always comes...

Let $p$ be a rational prime, let $F$ denote a finite, unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, $K$ the maximal unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, $\overline{K}$ some fixed algebraic closure of $K$, and $\mathbb{C}_p$ the completion of $\overline{K}$. Let $G_F$ the absolute Galois group of $F$. Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over $F$, with good reduction. Classically, the Fontaine integral was seen as a Hodge--Tate comparison morphism, i.e. as a map $\varphi_{A} \ot...

In a remarkable article Ribet showed how to attach rational $2$-dimensional representations to elliptic ${\mathbb Q}$-curves. An abelian variety $A$ is a (weak) $K$-variety if it is isogenous to all of its $\text{Gal}_K$-conjugates. In this article we study the problem of attaching an absolutely irreducible $\ell$-adic representation of $\text{Gal}_K$ to an abelian $K$-variety, which sometimes has smaller dimension than expected. When possible, we also construct a Galois-equi...

By the theory of Colmez and Fontaine, a de Rham representation of the Galois group of a local field roughly corresponds to a representation of the Weil-Deligne group equipped with an admissible filtration on the underlying vector space. Using a modification of the classical local Langlands correspondence, we associate with any pair consisting of a Weil-Deligne group representation and a type of a filtration (admissible or not) a specific locally algebraic representation of a ...

We study the Galois symbol map associated to the multiplicative group and an abelian variety which has good ordinary reduction over a $p$-adic field. As a byproduct, one can calculate the "class group" in the view of the class field theory for curves over a $p$-adic field.

Let T be a free Z_p-module of finite rank equipped with a continuous Z_p-linear action of the absolute Galois group of a number field K satisfying certain conditions. In this article, by using a Selmer group corresponding to T, we give a lower bound of the additive p-adic valuation of the class number of K_n, which is the Galois extension field of K fixed by the stabilizer of T/p^n T. By applying this result, we prove an asymptotic inequality which describes an explicit lower...

We say that a two dimensional p-adic Galois representation of a number field F is weight two if it is de Rham with Hodge-Tate weights 0 and -1 equally distributed at each place above p; for example, the Tate module of an elliptic curve has this property. The purpose of this paper is to establish a variety of results concerning odd weight two representations of totally real fields in as great a generality as we are able. Most of these results are improvements upon existing res...

This is the final version of a book about p-adic families of Galois representations, Selmer groups, eigenvarieties and Arthur's conjectures

In this paper we study certain category of smooth modules for reductive $p$--adic groups analogous to the usual smooth complex representations but with the field of complex numbers replaced by a $\mathbb Q$--algebra. We prove some fundamental results in these settings, and as an example we give a classification of admissible unramified irreducible representations proving by reduction to the complex case that if the space of $K$--invariants is finite dimensional in an irreduci...
