Existing theorems require that the residual representation have 'big' image, in a certain technical sense. Our theorems are based on a strengthening of the Taylor-Wiles method which allows one to weaken this hypothesis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-07-29T15:01:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adic galois representations", "small residual image", "essentially conjugate self-dual galois representations", "automorphy lifting theorems", "taylor-wiles method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 59, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.5989T" } } }
