Totally Real Galois Representations In Characteristic 2 And Arithmetic Cohomology, Heather Aurora Florence De Melo
Totally Real Galois Representations In Characteristic 2 And Arithmetic Cohomology, Heather Aurora Florence De Melo
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this paper is to provide new examples supporting a conjecture of Ash, Doud, and Pollack. This conjecture involves Galois representations taking Gal(Q bar/Q) to the general linear group of 3 x 3 matrices in characterisic 2, and our examples are where complex conjugation is mapped to the identity. Since this case has not yet been examined, the results of this paper are quite significant.

Theses and Dissertations
Serre's conjecture on the modularity of Galois representations makes a connection between two-dimensional Galois representations and modular forms. A conjecture by Ash, Doud, and Pollack generalizes Serre's to higher-dimensional Galois representations. In this paper we discuss an explicit computational example supporting the generalized claim. An ambiguity in a calculation within the example is resolved using a method of complex approximation.
