Proven Cases Of A Generalization Of Serre's Conjecture, Jonathan H. Blackhurst Jul 2006

Proven Cases Of A Generalization Of Serre's Conjecture, Jonathan H. Blackhurst

Theses and Dissertations

In the 1970's Serre conjectured a correspondence between modular forms and two-dimensional Galois representations. Ash, Doud, and Pollack have extended this conjecture to a correspondence between Hecke eigenclasses in arithmetic cohomology and n-dimensional Galois representations. We present some of the first examples of proven cases of this generalized conjecture.
