A generalisation of Wiles’ famous modularity theorem, the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, predicts that two dimensional representations of the absolute Galois group of the rationals, with a few specific properties, exactly correspond to those representations coming from classical modular forms. Under some mild hypotheses, this is now a theorem of Kisin. In this talk, I will explain how one can p-adically interpolate the objects on both sides of this correspondence to construct an eigensurface and “trianguline” Galois deformation space, as well as outline a new approach to proving a theorem of Emerton, that these spaces are often isomorphic.
