In this paper, we generalize these techniques from type A1 to general (semi-)simple groups. We then strengthen our previous results on constructing geometric Galois representations with exceptional monodromy groups, achieving such constructions for almost all l, rather than a density-one set, and achieving greater flexibility in the Hodge numbers of the lifts; the latter improvement requires the new level-raising result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-20T05:30:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deformations", "constructing geometric galois representations", "exceptional monodromy groups", "two-dimensional odd representations", "ramakrishna" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
