For a split reductive group $G$, we investigate lifting continuous $\\overline{\\rho} : \\Gamma_F \\to G(k)$ to characteristic zero. We construct lifts of $\\overline{\\rho}$ and use the lift to construct a liftable deformation condition for $\\overline{\\rho}$ provided $p$ is large enough. This generalizes the minimally ramified deformation condition previously studied for classical groups. Doing so involves constructing ``decomposition types'' generalizing the notion of isotypic decomposition of a $\\textrm{GL}_n$-valued representation. This requires introducing and studying weakly reductive group schemes: smooth groups schemes with reductive identity component and a finite \\'{e}tale component group whose order is invertible on the base. Our work can be used to produce geometric lifts for global Galois representations, and we illustrate this for $G_2$-valued representations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-07T18:41:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F80" ], "keywords": [ "valued galois representations", "weakly reductive group schemes", "valued representation", "produce geometric lifts", "smooth groups schemes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
