Finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\overline{F})\) and automorphy (Q2066291)

In the paper under the review, the author provides a purely algebraic classification of finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})\), which also generalizes to \(\mathrm{SL}(3, \mathbb{C})\) and to algebraically closed closed fields other then \(\mathbb{C}\), of characteristic not dividing the order of the finite group. The geometric proof is also given in the paper, for the sake of completeness. Provided classification is used to reprove that two dimensional representations of the Weil group of tetrahedral and octahedral type are automorphic. Also, the introduced approach is used to construct an automorphic representation \(\pi\) of \(\mathrm{GL}(3, \mathbb{A}_F)\) which happens to be a unique candidate for the representation \(\pi(\rho)\) corresponding to a certain three dimensional representation \(\rho\) of the Weil group of a number field \(F\).
