Level lowering for modular \(\text{mod }\ell\) representations over totally real fields. (English) Zbl 0978.11020

Jarvis, Frazer

Math. Ann. 313, No. 1, 141-160 (1999).

The author continues the study of part of the analogue of Serre’s conjecture for mod \(\ell\) Galois representations for totally real fields. More precisely, one knows, through results of Carayol and Taylor, that to any Hilbert cuspidal eigenform over a totally real field \(F\), one can attach a compatible system of \(\lambda\)-adic representations of the corresponding absolute Galois group. One may ask if a given \(\lambda\)-adic or modulo \(\ell\) representation is attached by this process to a Hilbert modular form, and, if so, what weights and levels this form can have. He proves some analogues of results known in the case \(F= \mathbb Q\).
