Clozel 70, Part II

Many years ago, Khare asked me (as I think he asked many others at the time) whether I believed their existed an irreducible motive \(M\) over \(\mathbf{Z}\) (so good reduction everywhere) with Hodge-Tate weights \([0,1,2,\ldots,n-1]\) for any \(n > 1\). … Continue reading

30 years of modularity: number theory since the proof of Fermat

It’s probably fair to say that the target audience for this blog is close to orthogonal to the target audience for my talk, but just in case anyone wants to watch it in HD (and with the audio synced to … Continue reading

Potential Automorphy for GL(n)

Fresh on the arXiv, a nice new paper by Lie Qian proving potential automorphy results for ordinary Galois representations \(\rho: G_F \rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbf{Q}_p)\) of regular weight \([0,1,\ldots,n-1]\) for arbitrary CM fields \(F\). The key step in light of the 10-author … Continue reading

En Passant VI

I just learnt (from a comment on this blog) that Pierre Colmez hosts a wonderful page on Fontaine and Wintenberger here. I particularly recommend reading both the personal recollections of their friends and collaborators (sample quote from Mark: These \(p\)-adic … Continue reading

Jean-Marc Fontaine, 1944-2019

The results which generate the most buzz in mathematics are usually those which can be expressed in an elementary (or at least pithy) way to a general mathematical audience. It is certainly true that such results may be profound (see … Continue reading
