Computation of framed deformation functors

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this work we compute the universal framed deformation functor for a reducible Galois representation ho given by direct sum of 2-dimensional representations hoi coming from p-divisible groups. We impose the local conditions of flatness in the residual characteristic prime p and semistable action in a single auxiliary prime ell. The main application is the case of hoi being the representation attached to the p-torsion points of an elliptic curve Ei over mathbbQ with good reduction but in ell and semistable reduction in ell. This article was inspired by a series of works of Schoof about abelian varieties with bad reduction in one prime only. Our local deformation condition correspond to reduction properties of such varieties.


The results of the present paper are mainly motivated by earlier work of \textit{R. Schoof} related to classification of abelian varieties. More specifically [Compos. Math. 141, No. 4, 847--868 (2005; Zbl 1173.11333)] investigates the case of abelian varieties over \(\mathbb{Q}\) with semistable reduction in only one prime \(l\) and good reduction everywhere else and it is established that they do not exist for \(l= 2,3,5,7,13\), whereas for the case when \(l=11\) they are isogenous to a product of the Jacobian variety \(J_0(11)\) of the modular curve \(X_0(11)\). In a later paper [Manuscr. Math. 139, No. 1--2, 49--70 (2012; Zbl 1323.11040)] Schoof presents some generalizations of this result. The paper under review has as main purpose to translate some of the results of Schoof and others in terms of deformation theory of representations associated to elliptic curves. More specifically, the author of this nice paper computes the framed deformation functor associated to a reducible representation given as a direct sum of two-dimensional representations associated to elliptic curves with appropriate local conditions.
