Abstract

top
In this short note we give a new approach to proving modularity of p -adic Galois representations using a method of p -adic approximations. This recovers some of the well-known results of Wiles and Taylor in many, but not all, cases. A feature of the new approach is that it works directly with the p -adic Galois representation whose modularity is sought to be established. The three main ingredients are a Galois cohomology technique of Ramakrishna, a level raising result due to Ribet, Diamond, Taylor, and a mod p n version of Mazur’s principle for level lowering.
