The versal Breuil–Mézard conjecture
Let be a finite extension, let be continuous, and regard as an -point of the Emerton–Gee stack . Fix a versal ring and let be the induced ring for the reduced stack. For an extremal type , let be the pullback cycle in . Versal Breuil–Mézard conjecture. For every set of extremal types and every , there exist effective cycles in such that, for all ,
This is the local, versal-ring realization of the geometric Breuil–Mézard formula and relates stack-theoretic cycles to deformation rings at individual residual representations.

Progress summary
Partial versions of the conjecture are proved in several restricted settings, but the general local statement remains open.
The conjecture asks for effective cycles on the versal deformation ring of each residual Galois representation, uniformly realizing the geometric Breuil–Mézard multiplicity formulas. The catalogue source reported no resolution as of July 2020.
Known results
- Two-dimensional potentially Barsotti–Tate representations: effective cycles and the corresponding deformation-ring identity are proved, with transfer between Emerton–Gee stacks via versal-ring comparison.
- For , a geometric statement is proved under genericity assumptions in the tamely potentially crystalline setting, including cycles on versal rings.
- New two-dimensional crystalline cases with bounded Hodge type are established.
- For -crystalline representations, one direction of Breuil–Mézard is proved: Galois multiplicities are bounded by automorphic multiplicities.
Current status (as of September 2026): The full versal Breuil–Mézard conjecture remains open; only restricted cases and one-sided results are recorded, with no verified general proof or counterexample.
