There is a folklore heuristic that the image of the Galois representation should be as big as possible unless there is an automorphic reason for it not to be. In this thesis, we will formulate a precise conjecture in this direction, assuming some standard conjectures in the literature. In the n=2 case, this follows from the work of Ribet, Momose, and Nekovar. We are able to prove this conjecture unconditionally in the n=3 case. date: 2025 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00037240 ppn_swb: 1935530658 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-372409 date_accepted: 2025-07-23 advisor: HASH(0x5638d5ee4118) language: eng bibsort: SHAVALIKOHONTHEIMAGE20250903 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Heidelberg citation: Shavali Kohshor, Alireza (2025) On the Image of Automorphic Galois Representations.
