Mazur's conjecture on modular deformation liftings

Let pp be an odd prime, let kk be a finite field of characteristic pp, and let deformation data be a pair D=(Σ,t)\mathcal D=(\Sigma,t) consisting of a finite set of primes and one of the conditions ordinary or flat. Let ρˉ:GQGL2(k)\bar\rho:G_{\bold Q}\to\operatorname{GL}_2(k) be absolutely irreducible and D\mathcal D-modular, meaning that it has a type-D\mathcal D lifting arising from an eigenform. A representation is type-D\mathcal D when it is a complete noetherian local Zp\bold Z_p-algebra representation with cyclotomic determinant, unramified outside Σ\Sigma, and satisfying tt at pp. Mazur's conjecture. Every type-D\mathcal D lifting of ρˉ\bar\rho to the ring of integers of a finite extension of Qp\bold Q_p is modular. The source states that this conjecture implies the semistable modular lifting conjecture, and reports cases proved by Mazur and Ramakrishna for the ordinary and flat deformation conditions, respectively.
