Inductivity of the global root number
Under suitable hypotheses, we verify that the global root number of a motivic L-function is inductive (invariant under induction).

Let be a regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation of , where is a totally real field and is at most . We show that for all primes , the -adic Galois representations associated to are irreducible, and for all but finitely many primes , the mod Galois representations associated to are also irreducible. We also show that the Lie algebras of the Zariski closures of the -adic representations are independent of .
Let be a cuspidal newform with complex multiplication (CM) and let be an odd prime at which is non-ordinary. We construct admissible -adic -functions for the symmetric powers of , thus verifying conjectures of Dabrowski and Panchishkin in this special case. We combine this with recent work of Benois to prove the trivial zero conjecture in this setting. We also construct “mixed” plus and minus -adic -functions and prove an analogue of Pollack’s decomposition of the admissible -adic -functions....
