Computing crystalline deformation rings via the Taylor-Wiles-Kisin patching method

Abstract:

Crystalline deformation rings play an important role in Kisin's proof of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture for GL2 in most cases. One crucial step in the proof is to prove the Breuil-Mezard conjecture on the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity of the special fiber of the crystalline deformation ring. In pursuit of formulating a horizontal version of the Breuil-Mezard conjecture, we develop an algorithm to compute arbitrarily close approximations of crystalline deformation rings. Our approach, based on reverse-engineering the Taylor-Wiles-Kisin patching method, aims to provide detailed insights into these rings and their structural properties, at least conjecturally.
