Potential automorphy of \(\mathrm{GSpin}_{2n+1}\)-valued Galois representations (Q2069642): Difference between revisions

Given a connected reductive group \(G\) defined over a number field \(F\), Langlands' program predicts a connection between some algebraic automorphic representations of \(G(\mathbb A_F)\) and geometric \(p\)-adic Galois representations \(\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)\to {}^LG(\mathbb{Q}_p)\) into the \(L\)-group of \(G\). Work of Kret-Shin constructs the automorphic-to-Galois direction when \(G\) is the group \(\mathrm{GSp}_{2n}\) over a totally real field \(F^+\), and \(\pi\) is a cuspidal automorphic representation of \(\mathrm{GSp}_{2n}(\mathbb{A}_{F^+})\) that is essentially discrete series at all infinite places and is a twist of the Steinberg representation at some finite place. The interesting paper under review establishes a partial converse, proving a potential automorphy theorem, and some applications, for some \(\mathrm{GSpin}_{2n+1}\)-valued Galois representations.This paper relies crucially on the work of Kret-Shin, which in turn relies crucially on \textit{J. Arthur}'s book [The endoscopic classification of representations. Orthogonal and symplectic groups. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2013; Zbl 1310.22014)].
