MATH882201 – Problem Set I (1) Let I be a directed set and {Gi }i∈I an inverse system of finite groups with projection maps φij : Gi → Gj for all i, jQ∈ I satisfying j ≤ i. Give each Gi the discrete topology and denote by π the product π := i∈I Gi endowed with the product topology. Define G := lim Gi := {(gi )i∈I | φij (gi ) = gj for all j ≤ i} ⊆ π ←− i∈I (a) Show that G is a closed subset of π. (b) Give G the subspace topology. Show that G is compact and totally disconnected for this topology. (c) Prove that the natural projection maps φi : G → Gi are continuous, and that the (open) subgroups Ki := ker φi for a basis of open neighborhoods of the identity. (d) Show that a subgroup of G is open if and only if it is closed and of finite index. (2) If L/K is a Galois extension, GK = Gal(L/K), and V has the discrete topology, then a representation ρ : GK → GLE (V ) is continuous if and only if it factors through Gal(F/K), for some finite Galois extension F/K. (3) Prove the above statement if V is instead a vector space over R or C, with the usual topology. (Hint: first prove that there are open neighborhoods of the identity in GLn (R) and GLn (C) which contain no non-trivial subgroups.) (4) Let ρ : GQ → GLn (C) be a continuous representation. (a) Prove that up to conjugation by an element of GLn (C), the representation ρ factors through GLn (K) for some field K of finite degree over Q. (b) Prove that we may take K above to be an abelian extension of Q. (5) Let I ⊆ Gal(Qp /Qp ) be the inertia subgroup and W ⊆ I the wild inertia subgroup. Show that there is a non-canonical isomorphism of topological groups Y I/W ' Z` . `6=p (6) Let ρ : GQ → GLn (Qp ) be a continuous representation. Show that for all ` 6= p, the image under ρ of any wild inertia group W` at ` is finite. Is the same necessarily true of the image of any I` ? (7) Suppose T is a lattice in a finite dimensional Q` -vector space. Prove that a representation GK −→ AutZ` (T ) is continuous if and only if GK −→ Aut(T /`n T ) is continuous for each n (the topology on T /`n T is the discrete topology). (8) Let K be a field and suppose A is a continuous GK -module with the discrete topology. Prove that the following are equivalent: (a) A is a continuous GK -module (b) For every S a ∈ A, the stabilizer of a in G is open. (c) A = U AU , the union being over open subgroups of U ⊂ GK . (9) If T ≈ Zn` is a lattice with a continuous action GK → AutZ` (T ), then the action of GK on T ⊗Z` Q` given by g · t ⊗ z = gt ⊗ z is also continuous. (10) Suppose that K is a p-adic field. Prove that µ`∞ (K(µ` )) is finite if and only if the image of the cyclotomic character χ` : GK → Z× ` is open. (11) Let t ∈ Z` be a topological generator so that the closure of tZ is Z` (we write the addition on Z` mutliplicatively). 1 (a) If M ∈ GLn (Q` ), show that t 7→ ρ(t) = M determines a continuous representation ρ : Z` → GLn (Q` ) if and only if for any z ∈ Z` , the limit n7lim M n exists in GLn (Q` ). →z n∈Z (b) Show that this limit exists for all z ∈ Z` when 1 1 .. .. . . M = Mn = ∈ GLn (Q` ), . .. 1 1 (12) Let Vn be the n-dimensional continuous representation Z` → GLn (Q` ) determined by the matrix Mn in exercise 11(b). Show that Vn ∼ = Symn−1 (V2 ). (a) Show that Vn is the unique (up to isomorphism) unipotent and indecomposable representation of Z` . (b) Show that Vn ∼ = Symn−1 (V2 ). (Hint: consider the minimal polynomial for the action of t on Symn−1 (V2 ).) (13) In class we showed that if K is a p-adic field with algebraically closed residue field, then i every V ∈ Repst Q` (GK ) is a subquotient of some V (X)(j) for some smooth and projective algebraic variety X/K and integers i and j. Prove this for V which is only potentially semistable. Hint: you’ll want to use ‘Weil restriction’ and Frobenius reciprocity. (14) (This question requires some knowledge of elliptic curves and the theory of complex multiplication.) Recall Faltings’ theorem: if K is a number field, and if A and A0 are abelian varieties over K, then A and A0 are isogenous (over K) if and only if there is an isomorphism of GK -representations V` (A) → V` (A0 ) (for any prime `). It is natural to try to refine this criterion and ask whether A and A0 are isomorphic if and only if T` (A) ∼ = T` (A) for every prime `. (a) Show that this is false by considering an elliptic curve E/K satisfying EndK (E) ∼ = OL for some imaginary quadratic field L with class number greater than 1. (b) If A satisfies End(A) = Z, then is this refinement true? (c) Let R be a ring and suppose E and E 0 are elliptic curves over a number field K with R∼ = End(E) ∼ = End(E 0 ). Is it true that E ' E 0 if and only if there is an isomorphism T` (E) ' T` (E 0 ) of (R ⊗Z Z` )[GK ]-modules for each prime `? (d) If E and E 0 are elliptic curves over a number field K satisfying End(E) 6' End(E 0 ), is it true that T` (E) 6' T` (E 0 ) for some prime `? 2
