Mod $\ell$ gamma factors and a converse theorem for finite general linear groups

The local converse theorem for Rankin-Selberg gamma factors of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ proved by Piatetski-Shapiro over $\mathbb{C}$ no longer holds after reduction modulo $\ell \neq p$. To remedy this, we construct new $\mathrm{GL}_n \times \mathrm{GL}_m$ gamma factors valued in arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}[1/p, ζ_p]$-algebras for Whittaker-type representations, show that they satisfy a functional equation, and then prove a $\mathrm{GL}_n \times \mathrm{GL}_{n-1}$ converse theorem for irreducible cuspidal representations. In the $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$ case, we define an alternative "new" gamma factor, which takes values in $k$ and satisfies a converse theorem that matches the converse theorem in characteristic $0$.

Geometric Casselman-Shalika in mixed characteristic

We establish a geometric analog of the Casselman-Shalika formula for a split connected reductive group over a mixed characteristic local field. In particular, we construct sheaves on the Witt vector affine Grassmannian which geometrize the Fourier coefficients of spherical Hecke operators, and compute their cohomology.

On local Galois deformation rings

We show that framed deformation rings of mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group of a $p$-adic local field are complete intersections of expected dimension. We determine their irreducible components and show that they and their special fibres are normal and complete intersection. As an application we prove density results of loci with prescribed $p$-adic Hodge theoretic properties.

Zariski density of crystalline points

We show that crystalline points are Zariski dense in the deformation space of a representation of the absolute Galois group of a $p$-adic field. We also show that these points are dense in the subspace parameterizing deformations with determinant equal to a fixed crystalline character. Our proof is purely local and works for all $p$-adic fields and all residual Galois representations.

Deformation theory of the trivial mod $p$ Galois representation for $\mathrm{GL}_n$

We study the rigid generic fiber $\mathcal{X}^\square_{\overlineρ}$ of the framed deformation space of the trivial representation $\overlineρ: G_K \to \text{GL}_n(k)$ where $k$ is a finite field of characteristic $p>0$ and $G_K$ is the absolute Galois group of a finite extension $K/\mathbf{Q}_p$. Under some mild conditions on $K$ we prove that $\mathcal{X}^\square_{\overlineρ}$ is normal. When $p > n$ we describe its irreducible components, and show Zariski density of its crystalline points.
