Research Interest

  • Converse Problem in the Galois side: In the automorphic side of Langlands program, there are converse theorems. But in the Galois side, we do not have any such theorems. Currently, I have been trying to give a converse theorem for local Galois representations.
  • Geometric Analog of epsilon factors: By work of Robert Langlands and P. Deligne we can attach a unique complex number (which we call epsilon factor) for a given complex Galois representation. We also can attach a similar constant for a given elliptic curve over number field. But the relationship between epsilon factors of Galois representations and elliptic curves are not yet known. An explicit connection between these epsilon factors are very much important in arithmetic geometry. I am trying to find a result which connect them.
  • Galois representations and Analytic torsion: I also have been trying to construct Galois representations by using analytic torsions for some Riemannian manifolds.
