DEFORMATIONS OF GALOIS REPRESENTATIONS AND THE THEOREMS OF SATO–TATE AND LANG–TROTTER

Abstract

We construct infinitely ramified Galois representations ρ such that the al(ρ)'s have distributions in contrast to the statements of Sato–Tate, Lang–Trotter and others. Using similar methods we deform a residual Galois representation for number fields and obtain an infinitely ramified representation with very large image, generalizing a result of Ramakrishna.
