Even Galois Representations mod p

Suppose that \(\overline{\rho}: G_{\mathbf{Q}}: \rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p)\) is a continuous  irreducible Galois representation. What does the Langlands program say about such \(\overline{\rho}\)? When \(\overline{\rho}\) is odd, the situation is quite satisfactory, the answer being given by Serre’s conjecture. For example, having fixed a … Continue reading
