In this talk, I will explain my joint work with Junecue Suh on when and why the cohomology of Shimura varieties (with nontrivial integral coefficients) has no torsion, based on certain new vanishing theorems we have proved. (All conditions involved...

We study families of filtered phi-modules associated to families of p-adic Galois representations as considered by Berger and Colmez. We show that the weakly admissible locus in a family of filtered phi-modules is open and that the groupoid of...

The theory of (\varphi, \Gamma)-modules, which was introduced by Fontaine in the early 90's, classifies local Galois representations into modules over certain power series rings carrying certain extra structures (\varphi and \Gamma). In a recent...

I will describe a joint work with Barnet-Lamb, Gee and Taylor where we establish a potential automorphy result for compatible systems of Galois representations over totally real and CM fields. This is deduced from a potential automorphy result for...

We give a new local characterization of the Local Langlands Correspondence, using deformation spaces of p-divisible groups, and show its existence by a comparison with the cohomology of some Shimura varieties. This reproves results of Harris-Taylor...

Picard moduli spaces parametrize principally polarized abelian varieties with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in an imaginary-quadratic field. The loci where the abelian varieties split off an elliptic curve in a controlled way are...
