Resolutions of spaces of crystalline representations and modularity

We introduce a new partial resolution of crystalline spaces of Galois representations when the gaps in Hodge--Tate weights are smaller than $p$, with no bound on ramification. Furthermore, when $n =3$ in the case of minimal regular weight, we are able to show that the resolution is normal (assuming the ramification index is divisible by 3). Employing base change techniques and further analysis of the resolution, we are able to show that all the components of the crystalline deformation rings are potentially diagonalizable. As a consequence, we deduce automorphy lifting, the weight part of Serre's conjecture, and the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture in dimension three for minimal regular weight.

GKLO representations of twisted Yangians in type $\mathsf{AI}$ and quantizations of symmetric quotients of the affine Grassmannian

We construct an analogue of Gerasimov-Kharchev-Lebedev-Oblezin (GKLO) representations for twisted Yangians of type $\mathsf{AI}$, using the recently found current presentation of these algebras due to Lu, Wang and Zhang. These new representations allow us to define interesting truncations of twisted Yangians, which, in the spirit of Ciccoli-Drinfeld-Gavarini quantum duality, reflect the Poisson geometry of homogeneous spaces. As our main result, we prove that a truncated twisted Yangian quantizes a scheme supported on quotients of transverse slices in the affine Grassmannian.

Irreducibility of some crystalline loci with irregular Hodge--Tate weights

We show that loci of crystalline representations of $G_K$ for $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ an unramified extension are irreducible when the Hodge--Tate weights are fixed and sufficiently small. This was previously known for weights in the interval $[-p,0]$ and in this paper we show how that this bound can be relaxed provided the Hodge--Tate weights are sufficiently irregular at certain embeddings. This is motivated by the desire to extend the conjectures of Breuil--Mézard on loci of potentially crystalline representations to irregular weights.

Cycles relations in the affine grassmannian and applications to Breuil--M\'ezard for G-crystalline representations

For a split reductive group $G$ we realise identities in the Grothendieck group of $\widehat{G}$-representation in terms of cycle relations between certain closed subschemes inside the affine grassmannian. These closed subschemes are obtained as a degeneration of $e$-fold products of flag varieties and, under a bound on the Hodge type, we relate the geometry of these degenerations to that of moduli spaces of $G$-valued crystalline representations of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K}/K)$ for $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite extension with ramification degree $e$. By transferring the aforementioned cycle relations to these moduli spaces we deduce one direction of the Breuil--M\'ezard conjecture for $G$-valued crystalline representations with small Hodge type.

Degenerating products of flag varieties and applications to the Breuil--Mezard conjecture

We consider closed subschemes in the affine grassmannian obtained by degenerating $e$-fold products of flag varieties, embedded via a tuple of dominant cocharacters. For $G= \operatorname{GL}_2$, and cocharacters small relative to the characteristic, we relate the cycles of these degenerations to the representation theory of $G$. We then show that these degenerations smoothly model the geometry of (the special fibre of) low weight crystalline subspaces inside the Emerton--Gee stack classifying $p$-adic representations of the Galois group of a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. As an application we prove new cases of the Breuil--Mézard conjecture in dimension two.

Explicit Serre weights for GL_2 via Kummer theory

We give an explicit formulation of the weight part of Serre's conjecture for GL_2 using Kummer theory. This avoids any reference to p-adic Hodge theory. The key inputs are a description of the reduction modulo p of crystalline extensions in terms of certain "G_K-Artin-Scheier cocycles" and a result of Abrashkin which describes these cocycles in terms of Kummer theory. An alternative explicit formulation in terms of local class field theory was previously given by Dembele-Diamond-Roberts in the unramified case and by the second author in general. We show that the description of Dembele-Diamond-Roberts can be recovered directly from ours using the explicit reciprocity laws of Brueckner-Shaferevich-Vostokov. These calculations illustrate how our use of Kummer theory eliminates certain combinatorial complications appearing in these two papers.

Potential diagonalisability of pseudo-Barsotti-Tate representations

Previous work of Kisin and Gee proves potential diagonalisability of two dimensional Barsotti-Tate representations of the Galois group of a finite extension $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$. In this paper we build upon their work by relaxing the Barsotti-Tate condition to one we call pseudo-Barsotti-Tate (which means that for certain embeddings $κ:K \rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p$ we allow the $κ$-Hodge-Tate weights to be contained in $[0,p]$ rather than $[0,1]$).

On the irreducible components of some crystalline deformation rings

We adapt a technique of Kisin to construct and study crystalline deformation rings of $G_K$ for a finite extension $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$. This is done by considering a moduli space of Breuil--Kisin modules, satisfying an additional Galois condition, over the universal deformation ring. For $K$ unramified over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and Hodge--Tate weights in $[0,p]$, we study the geometry of this space. As a consequence we prove that, under a mild cyclotomic-freeness assumption, all crystalline representations of an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, with Hodge--Tate weights in $[0,p]$, are potentially diagonalisable.

Inertial and Hodge--Tate weights of crystalline representations

Let $K$ be an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $ρ\colon G_K \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{Z}}_p)$ a crystalline representation. If the Hodge--Tate weights of $ρ$ differ by at most $p$ then we show that these weights are contained in a natural collection of weights depending only on the restriction to inertia of $\overlineρ = ρ\otimes_{\overline{\mathbb{Z}}_p} \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$. Our methods involve the study of a full subcategory of $p$-torsion Breuil--Kisin modules which we view as extending Fontaine--Laffaille theory to filtrations of length $p$.

Potentially diagonalisable lifts with controlled Hodge--Tate weights

Motivated by the weight part of Serre's conjecture we consider the following question. Let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension and suppose $\overlineρ \colon G_K \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ admits a crystalline lift with Hodge--Tate weights contained in the range $[0,p]$. Does $\overlineρ$ admits a potentially diagonalisable crystalline lift of the same Hodge--Tate weights? We answer this question in the affirmative when $K = \mathbb{Q}_p$ and $n \leq 5$, and $\overlineρ$ satisfies a mild `cyclotomic-free' condition. We also prove partial results when $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is unramified and $n$ is arbitrary.
