One of the most subtle aspects of the correspondence between automorphic and Galois representations is the weight part of Serre conjectures, namely describing the weights of modular forms corresponding to mod p congruence class of Galois representations. We propose a direct geometric approach via studying the mod p cohomology groups of certain integral models of modular or Shimura curves, involving Deligne-Lusztig curves with the action of GL(2) over finite fields. This is a joint work with James Newton.
