Florence's lifting conjecture for Borel representations
Florence's lifting conjecture for Borel representations
Let be a prime number, let be a field containing a primitive -th root of unity, and let be an integer. Let denote the absolute Galois group of , and let be the Borel subgroup of upper-triangular matrices in . Florence's conjecture. Every continuous homomorphism
lifts to a continuous homomorphism
This is a Borel-valued refinement of the question of whether mod- Galois representations lift modulo . The conjecture is stated for fields containing a primitive -th root of unity; the surrounding discussion records affirmative results in several special cases, while the general assertion remains open.
