The Buzzard–Diamond–Jarvis conjecture for unitary groups

About 14 years old · traced to

Fix an imaginary CM field FF in which pp is unramified, let F+F^+ be its maximal totally real subfield, and set

S:=∐w∣pHom⁡(kw,F‾p).S:=\coprod_{w\mid p}\operatorname{Hom}(k_w,\overline{\mathbb F}_p).

Let (Z+2)0S({\mathbb Z}^2_+)^S_0 consist of tuples aa satisfying aσ,1+aσc,2=0a_{\sigma,1}+a_{\sigma^c,2}=0 for every w∣pw\mid p and every σ∈Hom⁡(kw,F‾p)\sigma\in\operatorname{Hom}(k_w,\overline{\mathbb F}_p). A Serre weight is an element a∈(Z+2)0Sa\in({\mathbb Z}^2_+)^S_0 such that aσ,1−aσ,2≤p−1a_{\sigma,1}-a_{\sigma,2}\leq p-1 for every such ww and σ\sigma. Let rˉ ⁣:GF→GL⁡2(F‾p)\bar r\colon G_F\to\operatorname{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbb F}_p) be a continuous irreducible modular representation, and let WBDJ⁡(rˉ)W^{\operatorname{BDJ}}(\bar r) be the set of Serre weights whose local component at every place w∣pw\mid p lies in WBDJ⁡(rˉ∣GFw)W^{\operatorname{BDJ}}(\bar r|_{G_{F_w}}). Buzzard–Diamond–Jarvis conjecture. If a∈(Z+2)0Sa\in({\mathbb Z}^2_+)^S_0 is a Serre weight, then rˉ\bar r is modular of weight aa if and only if

a∈WBDJ⁡(rˉ).a\in W^{\operatorname{BDJ}}(\bar r).

This conjecture gives the expected global description of the Serre weights in which a mod-pp Galois representation is modular, in terms of the corresponding local Buzzard–Diamond–Jarvis weight sets. The statement is presented here without resolution evidence, so its status remains open.
