Universal deformations of even Galois representations and relations to Maass wave forms
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe whole area of deformations of Galois representations started in 1986 with a ground-breaking paper by Barry Mazur where he established the first existence theorem and some examples in the case of odd two-dimensional Galois representations. Such representations arise from elliptic curves and they produce L-functions which allows one to link them to modular forms. This link was used by Andrew Wiles to establish Fermat's Last Theorem.
