Abstract: In recent work, the authors proved a general result on lifting G-irreducible odd Galois representations mathrmGal(overlineF/F)oG(overlinemathbbFell), with F a totally real number field and G a reductive group, to geometric ell-adic representations. In this note we take G to be a classical group and construct many examples of G-irreducible representations to which these new lifting methods apply, but to which the lifting methods provided by potential automorphy theorems do not.


In the present paper, the authors study the lifting \(G\)-irreducible odd Galois representations \(\text{Gal}(\overline{F}/F) \rightarrow G(\overline{F}_{\ell})\), with \(F\) a totally real number field and \(G\) a reductive group, to geometric \(\ell\)-adic representations. They discuss examples when \(G\) is a classical group and the Galois-theoretic methods apply, but current potential automorphy methods do not. In particular, they treat an example arising from orthogonal representations \(\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q}) \rightarrow \text{SO}_N(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_{\ell})\) constructed in \textit{D. Zywina}'s work on the inverse Galois problem [``The inverse Galois problem for orthogonal groups, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1409.1151}].
