Unramified Fontaine-Mazur for representations coming from abelian varieties

Mark Kisin gave a talk at the number theory seminar last week where the following problem arose: Let \(W\) be the Galois representation associated to the Tate module of an abelian variety \(A\) over a number field, and suppose that … Continue reading

In Serre’s book on \(\ell\)-adic representations, he defines a \(p\)-adic representation \(V\) of a global Galois group … Continue reading
