Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Deformation rings of Group Representations

The motivating open question for this talk is to find for a given prime p all local Z_p-algebras which can occur as the deformation ring of some linear representation over F_p of some finite group G. We will show for every p that not all of them are complete intersections. This is joint work with Ted Chinburg and Frauke Bleher.
