On the classification of geometric families of 4-dimensional Galois representations

We give a classification theorem for certain four-dimensional families of geometric $λ$-adic Galois representations attached to a pure motive. More precisely, we consider families attached to the cohomology of a smooth projective variety defined over $\Q$ with coefficients in a quadratic imaginary field, non-selfdual and with four different Hodge-Tate weights. We prove that the image is as large as possible for almost every $λ$ provided that the family is irreducible and not induced from a family of smaller dimension. If we restrict to semistable families an even simpler classification is given. A version of the main result is given for the case where the family is attached to an automorphic form.

Geometric families of 4-dimensional Galois representations with generically large images

We study compatible families of four-dimensional Galois representations constructed in the étale cohomology of a smooth projective variety. We prove a theorem asserting that the images will be generically large if certain conditions are satisfied. We only consider representations with coefficients in an imaginary quadratic field. We apply our result to an example constructed by Jasper Scholten, obtaining a family of linear groups and one of unitary groups as Galois groups over $\mathbb{Q}$.

On the images of modular and geometric three-dimensional Galois represetations

We address the problem of the determination of the images of three-dimensional geometric and modular Galois representations. In the modular case the existence of these representations is only conjectural. We give conditions to ensure that the images are as large as possible for almost every prime. We compute some examples and stress the applications to inverse Galois theory.
