In mathematics, the Fontaine–Mazur conjectures are some conjectures introduced by Fontaine and Mazur (1995) about when p-adic representations of Galois groups of number fields can be constructed from representations on étale cohomology groups of varieties.
[1][2] Some cases of this conjecture in dimension 2 have been proved by Dieulefait (2004).
The first conjecture stated by Fontaine and Mazur assumes that
is an irreducible representation that is unramified except at a finite number of primes and which is not the Tate twist of an even representation that factors through a finite quotient group of
It claims that in this case,
