\(G\)-valued local deformation rings and global lifts (Q1736425): Difference between revisions

In the present paper, the authors study \(G\)-valued Galois deformation rings with prescribed properties, where \(G\) is an arbitrary reductive group over an extension of \(\mathbb{Z}_l\) for some prime \(l\). For the Galois groups of \(p\)-adic local fields they prove that these rings are generically regular and compute their dimensions. They prove lower bounds on the dimension of global deformation rings with prescribed local properties. As applications, they improve some results on the existence of lifts of mod \(l\) Galois representations and on the weight part of Serre's conjecture.
