Seminar on Potential Modularity and Its Applications
Seminar on Potential Modularity and its Applications Panagiotis Tsaknias April 1, 2011 1 Intro A main theme of modern (algebraic) number theory is the study of the absolute Galois group GQ of Q and more specifically its representations. Although one dimensional Galois representations admit an elegant description through class field theory, the general case is nowhere near that easy to handle. The well known Langlands Program is a far reaching web of conjectures that was devised in effort to describe such representations. On one side one has analytic objects (automorphic representations) whose behavior is\better understood", i.e. the L-function associated with them admits an analytic continuation to the whole complex plane and satisfies a functional equation. On the other side, one has L-series that come from Galois representations and whose analytic continuation and functional equation is difficult to show. The Langlands program suggests that one can indirectly prove that by showing that the Galois representation in question is associated with an automorphic representation, i.e. they are associated with the same L-function. One of the first examples of this approach was the classical proof that CM elliptic curves are modular, and therefore their L-function admits an analytic continuation and satisfies a functional equation. For more general classes of elliptic curves the first major break through was done by Wiles [22] and Taylor-Wiles [19] who proved that all semisimple elliptic curves are modular. Subsequent efforts culminating with the work done by Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor [2] finally proved modularity for all elliptic curves over Q.

Modularity of Some Potentially Barsotti-Tate Galois Representations
Modularity of some potentially Barsotti-Tate Galois representations A thesis presented by David Lawrence Savitt to The Department of Mathematics in partial ful¯llment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Mathematics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts May 2001 °c 2001 - David Savitt All rights reserved. iii Thesis advisor Author Richard Lawrence Taylor David Lawrence Savitt Modularity of some potentially Barsotti-Tate Galois representations Abstract We prove a portion of a conjecture of Conrad-Diamond-Taylor, which yields proofs of some 2-dimensional cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjectures. Let ½ be a continuous odd irreducible l-adic Galois representation (l an odd prime) satisfying the hypotheses of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture and such that ½ is modular. The notable additional hypotheses we must impose in order to conclude that ½ is mod- ular are that ½ is potentially Barsotti-Tate, that the Weil-Deligne representation associated to ½ is irreducible and tamely rami¯ed, and that ½ is conjugate to a representation over Fl which is reducible with scalar centralizer. The proof follows techniques of Breuil, Conrad, Diamond, and Taylor, and in particular requires extensive calculation with Breuil's classi¯cation of l-torsion ¯nite ﬂat group schemes over base schemes with high rami¯cation. iv Contents 1.

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.

THE TAMAGAWA NUMBER CONJECTURE OF ADJOINT MOTIVES OF MODULAR FORMS BY FRED DIAMOND, MATTHIAS FLACH AND LI GUO ABSTRACT.–Letf be a newform of weight k 2,levelN with coefficients in a number field K, and A the adjoint motive of the motive M associated to f. We carefully discuss the construction of the realisations of M and A, as well as natural integral structures in these realisations. We then use the method of Taylor and Wiles to verify the λ-part of the Tamagawa number conjecture of Bloch and Kato for L(A, 0) and L(A, 1).Hereλ is any prime of K not dividing Nk!, and so that the mod λ representation associated to f is absolutely irreducible when restricted to the Galois group over Q( (−1)(−1)/2) where λ | . The method also establishes modularity of all lifts of the mod λ representation which are crystalline of Hodge–Tate type (0,k− 1). 2004 Elsevier SAS RÉSUMÉ.–Soientf une forme nouvelle de poids k, de conducteur N, à coefficients dans un corps de nombres K,etA le motif adjoint du motif M associé à f.

The Bloch-Kato Conjecture for Adjoint Motives of Modular Forms
Mathematical Research Letters 8, 437–442 (2001) THE BLOCH-KATO CONJECTURE FOR ADJOINT MOTIVES OF MODULAR FORMS Fred Diamond, Matthias Flach, and Li Guo Abstract. The Tamagawa number conjecture of Bloch and Kato describes the behavior at integersof the L-function associated to a motive over Q. Let f be a newform of weight k ≥ 2, level N with coefficientsin a number field K. Let M be the motive associated to f and let A be the adjoint motive of M. Let λ be a finite prime of K. We verify the λ-part of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for L(A, 0) and L(A, 1) when λ Nk! and the mod λ representation associated to f isabsolutely irreducible when restricted to the Galois group over Q (−1)(−1)/2 where λ | . 1. Introduction This is a summary of results on the Tamagawa number conjecture of Bloch and Kato [B-K] for adjoint motives of modular forms of weight k ≥ 2. The conjecture relates the value at 0 of the associated L-function to arithmetic invariants of the motive. We prove in [D-F-G] that it holds up to powers of certain “bad primes.” The strategy for achieving this is essentially due to Wiles [Wi], as completed with Taylor in [T-W]. The Taylor-Wiles construction yields a formula relating the size of a certain module measuring congruences between modular forms to that of a certain Galois cohomology group. This was carried out in [Wi] and [T-W] in the context of modular forms of weight 2, where it was used to prove results in the direction of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture [F-M].

Zeta Functions, One–Way Functions, and Pseudorandom Number Generators
ZETA FUNCTIONS, ONE{WAY FUNCTIONS, AND PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER GENERATORS Michael Anshel Department of Computer Sciences, City College of New York, New York, NY 10031 Dorian Goldfeld Department of Mathematics, Columbia University New York, NY 10027 Abstract. New candidate one{way functions which arise from the intractable problem of determining a zeta function from its initial Dirichlet coefficients are presented. This in- tractable problem appears to be totally unrelated to the well known intractable problems of integer factorization and the computation of discrete logarithms. We introduce the feasible Selberg class of zeta functions and focus on three special subclasses: ZKronecker = Dirich- let L-functions with real characters, ZElliptic = L{functions of elliptic curves, and ZArtin = Artin L-functions. It is shown that the reduction (mod 2) map on the Dirichlet coefficients of ZElliptic induces a map ZElliptic !ZArtin. The assumption that it is not feasible (in polyno- mial time) to determine an Artin L{function from its initial Dirichlet coefficients leads to a new pseudorandom number generator. These results are interpreted in various cryptographic settings by employing the Eisenstein{Jacobi law of cubic reciprocity. Key Words: Zeta function, One{way function, Pseudorandom number generator, Elliptic curve, Frobenius element, Cubic reciprocity law, Feasible Selberg class. x1. Introduction: A central problem in cryptography is to establish the existence of one{way functions. Such a function would have the property that while it is computable in polynomial time, its inverse is not. One approach to this problem is to construct candidate one{way functions from seemingly intractable problems in number theory. We introduce a new intractable problem arising from the theory of zeta functions which leads to a new class of one{way functions based on the arithmetic theory of zeta functions.

We define and study the structure of the spaces of p-adic modular forms with respect to certain quaternion algebras over Q. We study the relation of these modular forms with classical quaternionic modular forms. We prove a canonical subgroup theorem for false elliptic curves. That enables us to define the Frobenius morphism of p-adic modular functions. We use rigid analytic geometry to give an alternative description of the p-adic modular forms and their Frobenius morphism.
