Title: Deformations of Galois representations
Date and Time: Wednesday 24 June, 11.30 am.
Abstract: One of the main themes of deformation theory of Galois
representations is to study families of Galois representations obtained by
interpolating various Galois representations having certain prescribed
properties. In this talk, I will first review some basic facts and results
of deformation theory of Galois representations. Then I will describe the
basic anatomy of theorems comparing various universal deformation rings
with appropriate Hecke algebras (which are popularly known as 'R=T'
theorems in the literature and are important from Number theoretic point
of view). In the second half of the talk, I will describe some of my own
results in which establishing an R=T theorem has played a crucial role.
