Title: "The Fontaine-Mazur Conjecture and tamely ramified p-adic representations"
Room: MC 108

Abstract: If k is a number field, Gk=Gal(¯k|k) its absolute Galois group and p a prime number, p-adic Galois representations ρ:GkGLn(Qp) naturally arise in algebraic geometry, coming from the action of Gk on etale cohomology groups of varieties defined over k. Fontaine and Mazur make a fundamental conjecture giving a precise characterization of those p-adic representations 'coming from algebraic geometry' in the above sense. In this talk we discuss consequences of the Fontaine-Mazur Conjecture for representations which are unramified at primes above p. After recalling results due to N. Boston and K. Wingberg providing evidence for the conjecture in the unramified case, we report on recent work on tamely ramified pro-p-extensions of Q by J. Labute.
