Modularity lifting theorems for ordinary Galois representations

Abstract

We generalize results of Clozel, Harris and Taylor by proving modularity lifting theorems for ordinary l-adic Galois representations of any dimension of an imaginary CM or totally real number field. The main theorems are obtained by establishing an $$R^{{{\mathrm{red}}}}={\mathbb {T}}$$ theorem over a Hida family. A key part of the proof is to construct appropriate ordinary lifting rings at the primes dividing l and to determine their irreducible components.
