Dieulefait–González–Lario congruence conjecture for modular forms of CM type mod \ell

Let f(q)=n=1anqnS2(Γ0(N))newf(q)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^n\in S_2(\Gamma_0(N))^{\operatorname{new}} be a normalized newform of CM type mod \ell by an imaginary quadratic field KK. A newform has complex multiplication by KK when its coefficients vanish at primes inert in KK (away from its level and the relevant prime). Let L\mathfrak{L} be a prime ideal above \ell in the composite of the Fourier number fields of ff and a second newform. Dieulefait–González–Lario conjecture. There exists a normalized newform g(q)=n=1bnqnS2(Γ0(M))newg(q)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_nq^n\in S_2(\Gamma_0(M))^{\operatorname{new}} with CM by KK such that

apbp(modL)a_p\equiv b_p\pmod{\mathfrak{L}}

for every prime pNMp\nmid NM\ell. The conjecture asks whether every weight-22 newform of CM type modulo \ell arises modulo L\mathfrak{L} from a genuine CM newform; the paper proves the assertion for >2\ell>2, 3\ell\neq3, when K=Q(3)K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3}), while the general case remains open.
