An effective isomorphy criterion for mod \(\ell \) Galois representations (Q538164)

Using Serre's conjecture as proven by \textit{C. Khare} and \textit{J.-P. Wintenberger} [Ann. Math. (2) 169, No. 1, 229--253 (2009; Zbl 1196.11076)] and a result of \textit{W. Kohnen} [Acta Arith. 113, No. 1, 57--67 (2004; Zbl 1065.11024)], the author develops a method to decide when two two-dimensional mod \(\ell\) representations of the absolute Galois group of the field of rationals are isomorphic.
