Commentaries on the remaining plays of Sophocles and on the fragments of the lyric poet, Stesichorus, The broad fields of research covered by this year’s awards were: are eagerly awaited; these will further cement what is already a towering • Classics international reputation. • Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences www.nottingham.ac.uk/classics/people/patrick.finglass • History of Art • Law Professor Miriam Leonard • Mathematics and Statistics Department of Greek and Latin, University College London • Medieval, Early Modern and Modern History. Professor Miriam Leonard is a powerful and original voice in the field of classical reception studies. Intellectually imaginative, sensitive and critical, she speaks across disciplines; her internationally-significant work lies at the intersection of Classics and History of Ideas in modern Europe, particularly France and Germany. Her monographs Athens and Paris and Socrates and the Jews explore the ways in which a European identity has been created, and her next book will move beyond classical philosophy to investigate the role of tragedy in the emergence of modernity. Professor Leonard is also an innovative teacher, using Socratic teaching methods and teaching across disciplines. Her work illustrates not only how Classics as a scholarly discipline was formed, but also the enduring power of the classical texts to provide a way of speaking about contemporary societies. www.ucl.ac.uk/classics/staff/fulltimestaff/miriamleonard Dr Michael Squire Department of Classics, King’s College London Dr Michael Squire’s research into the visual culture of the Graeco-Roman world has made a fundamental contribution to both classical art history and reception studies, and has changed the way that classicists and art historians think about the relationship between ancient art and litera- ture. Dr Squire has an impressive publication record, which includes three highly-regarded monographs and three edited books. His most recent monograph on the Tabulae Iliacae – the first on the subject in English – was awarded the James R Wiseman Prize by the Archaeological Institute of America, and has been described as “one of the most signifi- cant analyses of Graeco-Roman art, replication and collecting in recent years”. The international pedigree of Dr Squire’s research is reflected in the range of journals and books in which he has been published; in the variety of international prizes and fellowships he has won (including the Alexander von-Humboldt Stipendiat in Berlin and Munich); and in the fact that he has published in French, German and Italian, as well as in English. Dr Squire’s current research into the Imagines of Philostratus continues to cross disciplinary boundaries, and it will certainly gain the same sort of international recognition as his previous work. www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/classics/people/academic/squire 2 Philip Leverhulme Prize winners 2012 Dr Peter Thonemann Dr Richard Katz Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford Dr Peter Thonemann is an ancient Greek historian and epigrapher Dr Richard Katz is a leading early career mathematical geophysicist of extraordinary range and subtlety, whose work – notably his major whose work is making significant contributions to our understand- monograph on the Maeander Valley – has set new standards for research ing of processes involved in the extraction and transportation of melt in ancient historical geography.

In the late 1950s, Taniyama’s work [Tan57] on L-functions of abelian varieties with complex multiplications led him to consider certain higher- dimensional compatible systems of Galois representations, and by the 1960s it was realised by Serre and others that Weil’s construction might well be the tip of a arXiv:1009.0785v3 [math.NT] 7 Sep 2015 very large iceberg. Serre conjectured the existence of 2-dimensional ℓ-adic repre- sentations of Gal(Q/Q) attached to classical modular eigenforms for the group GL2 over Q, and their existence was established by Deligne not long afterwards. More- over, Langlands observed that one way to attack Artin’s conjecture on the analytic continuation of Artin L-functions might be via first proving that any non-trivial n-dimensional irreducible complex representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field F came (in some precise sense) from an automorphic representation for GLn /F , and then analytically continuing the L-function of this automorphic representation instead.

  • Explicit Serre Weights for Two-Dimensional Galois Representations
    Explicit Serre weights for two-dimensional Galois representations Misja Frederik Alban Steinmetz Supervisor: Prof. Fred Irvin Diamond Second Supervisor: Prof. Kevin Mark Buzzard Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mathematics King's College London August 2019 1 2 Abstract Let F be a totally real field and p a prime number. Given a Galois representation ρ : GF Ñ GL2pFpq, we have precise conjectures (see [BLGG13]) in terms of non-explicit p-adic Hodge theory giving the sets of weights of Hilbert modular forms such that the reduction of the associated Galois representation is isomorphic to ρ. Under the assumption that p is unramified in F an alternative explicit formulation of these sets of weights was proposed in the paper [DDR16] replacing the p-adic Hodge theory by local class field theory. Subsequently, the equivalence of the reformulated conjecture to the original conjecture was proved in [CEGM17]. In this thesis we generalise the conjecture of [DDR16] and the proof of equivalence of the two conjectures of [CEGM17] to hold for any totally real field F . Thereby, we give an equivalent explicit version of the conjectures on the modularity of two-dimensional Galois representations over totally real fields.

  • On Galois Representations Associated to Low Weight Hilbert–Siegel Modular Forms
    On Galois representations associated to low weight Hilbert{Siegel modular forms Ariel Zvi Weiss Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Mathematics and Statistics The University of Sheffield July 2019 ז''ל In loving memory of Rivka Lehmann Abstract Under the Langlands correspondence, where automorphic representations of GLn should correspond to n-dimensional Galois representations, cuspidal automorphic representations should correspond to irreducible Galois rep- resentations. More generally, heuristically, one expects that the image of an automorphic Galois representation should be as large as possible, unless there is an automorphic reason for it to be small. This thesis addresses the consequence of this heuristic for low weight, genus 2 Hilbert{Siegel modular forms. 0 Let F be a totally real field and π = ⊗vπv be a cuspidal automorphic rep- resentation of GSp4(AF ), whose archimedean components lie in the holo- morphic (limit of) discrete series. If π is not CAP or endoscopic, then we show that its associated `-adic Galois representation ρπ;` is irreducible and crystalline for 100% of primes. If, moreover, π is neither an automorphic induction nor a symmetric cube lift, then we show that, for 100% of primes `, the image of its mod ` Galois representation contains Sp4(F`).

  • EXPLICIT SERRE WEIGHTS for TWO-DIMENSIONAL GALOIS REPRESENTATIONS 3 in the Published Version of [GLS14])
    EXPLICIT SERRE WEIGHTS FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL GALOIS REPRESENTATIONS FRANK CALEGARI, MATTHEW EMERTON, TOBY GEE, AND LAMBROS MAVRIDES Abstract. We prove the explicit version of the Buzzard–Diamond–Jarvis con- jecture formulated in [DDR16]. More precisely, we prove that it is equivalent to the original Buzzard–Diamond–Jarvis conjecture, which was proved for odd primes (under a mild Taylor–Wiles hypothesis) in earlier work of the third author and coauthors. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Notation 2 3. Results 3 References 15 1. Introduction The weight part of Serre’s conjecture for Hilbert modular forms predicts the weights of the Hilbert modular forms giving rise to a particular modular mod p Galois representation, in terms of the restrictions of this Galois representation to decomposition groups above p. The conjecture was originally formulated in [BDJ10] in the case that p is unramified in the totally real field. Under a mild Taylor–Wiles hypothesis on the image of the global Galois representation, this conjecture has been proved for p > 2 in a series of papers of the third author and coauthors, culminating in the paper [GLS15], which proves a generalization allowing p to be arbitrarily ramified. We refer the reader to the introduction to [GLS15] for a arXiv:1608.06059v2 [math.NT] 1 Apr 2017 discussion of these results. Let K/Qp be an unramified extension, and let ρ : GK → GL2(Fp) be a (con- tinuous) representation. If ρ is irreducible, then the recipe for predicted weights in [BDJ10] is completely explicit, but in the case that it is a non-split extension of characters, the recipe is in terms of the reduction modulo p of certain crystalline extensions of characters.

    AUTOMORPHIC LIFTS OF PRESCRIBED TYPES TOBY GEE Abstract. We prove a variety of results on the existence of automorphic Ga- lois representations lifting a residual automorphic Galois representation. We prove a result on the structure of deformation rings of local Galois represen- tations, and deduce from this and the method of Khare and Wintenberger a result on the existence of modular lifts of specified type for Galois representa- tions corresponding to Hilbert modular forms of parallel weight 2. We discuss some conjectures on the weights of n-dimensional mod p Galois representa- tions. Finally, we use recent work of Taylor to prove level raising and lowering results for n-dimensional automorphic Galois representations. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

These questions amount to issues of level-lowering and level-raising (at places other than p), and to determining the possible Serre weights of ρf (at p). In recent years there has been a new approach to these questions, via the use of lifting theorems due to Ramakrishna and Khare-Wintenberger, together with modularity lifting theorems.

  • A MODULARITY LIFTING THEOREM for WEIGHT TWO HILBERT MODULAR FORMS Toby Gee 1. Introduction in [Kis04] Mark Kisin Introduced a Nu
    Math. Res. Lett. 13 (2006), no. 00, 10001–100NN c International Press 2006 A MODULARITY LIFTING THEOREM FOR WEIGHT TWO HILBERT MODULAR FORMS Toby Gee Abstract. We prove a modularity lifting theorem for potentially Barostti-Tate repre- sentations over totally real fields, generalising recent results of Kisin. 1. Introduction In [Kis04] Mark Kisin introduced a number of new techniques for proving mod- ularity lifting theorems, and was able to prove a very general lifting theorem for potentially Barsotti-Tate representations over Q. In [Kis05] this was generalised to the case of p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a totally real field in which p splits completely. In this note, we further generalise this result to: Theorem. Let p > 2, let F be a totally real field in which p is unramified, and let E be a finite extension of Qp with ring of integers O. Let ρ : GF → GL2(O) be a continuous representation unramified outside of a finite set of primes, with determinant a finite order character times the p-adic cyclotomic character. Suppose that (1) ρ is potentially Barsotti-Tate at each v|p. (2) ρ is modular. (3) ρ|F (ζp) is absolutely irreducible. Then ρ is modular. We emphasise that the techniques we use are entirely those of Kisin. Our only new contributions are some minor technical improvements; specifically, we are able to prove a more general connectedness result than Kisin for certain local deformation rings, and we replace an appeal to a result of Raynaud by a computation with Breuil modules with descent data.

    A GEOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE BREUIL–MEZARD´ CONJECTURE MATTHEW EMERTON AND TOBY GEE Abstract. Let p > 2 be prime. We state and prove (under mild hypotheses on the residual representation) a geometric refinement of the Breuil–M´ezard con- jecture for 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp. We also state a conjectural generalisation to n-dimensional representa- tions of the absolute Galois group of an arbitrary finite extension of Qp, and give a conditional proof of this conjecture, subject to a certain R = T-type theorem together with a strong version of the weight part of Serre’s conjecture for rank n unitary groups. We deduce an unconditional result in the case of two-dimensional potentially Barsotti–Tate representations. 1. Introduction Our aim in this paper is to revisit the Breuil–M´ezard conjecture [BM02] from a geometric point of view. Let us explain what we mean by this. First recall that the Breuil–M´ezard conjecture posits a formula (in terms of certain representation- theoretic data) for the Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity of the characteristic p fibre of certain local Zp-algebras, namely those whose characteristic zero fibres parameter- ize two-dimensional potentially semistable liftings of some fixed continuous two- dimensional Galois representationr ¯ : GQp GL2(F), where F is a finite field of characteristic p (the so-called potentially semistable→ deformation rings constructed in [Kis08]). One way in which a local ring can have multiplicity is if its Spec has more than one component: if its Spec is the union of n irreducible components, each with multiplicities µi (i =1,...,n), then the multiplicity of the entire ring will be i µi.
