Modularity of Galois representations. (Q1424591)

The paper surveys some recent results on refining the modular lifting theorem proved by \textit{A. Wiles} in his groundbreaking paper [``Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem'', Ann. Math. (2) 141, No. 3, 553--572 (1995; Zbl 0823.11029)]. These include results of K. Fujiwara, and of Wiles and the author [``Nearly ordinary deformations of irreducible residual representations'', Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse (6) 10, No. 1, 185--215 (2001; Zbl 1024.11036)] in the case where the residual representation is irreducible, but the Hilbert modular newforms are defined over a totally real field; and results of Wiles and the author [``Residually reducible representations and modular forms'', Publ. Math. Inst. Haut. Étud. Sci. 89, 5--126 (1999; Zbl 1005.11030)] in the case the residual representation is reducible.
