Abstract:
We consider automorphy of many representations of the form
\rhoba:G_K ---> PGL_2(k) with K a CM field and k=F_3,F_5.
In particular we prove (under some mild conditions) that for F totally real, a surjective representation
\rho:G_F ---> PGL_2(F_5)
with totally odd sign character arises from a Hilbert modular form of weight (2,\ldots, 2).
This is an apparently new case of the Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjectures which extend Serre's modularity conjecture to totally real fields.
This is based on joint work with Patrick Allen (UIUC) and Jack Thorne (Cambridge).
