Derived Galois deformation rings

Abstract

We define a derived version of Mazur's Galois deformation ring. It is a pro-simplicial ring classifying deformations of a fixed Galois representation to simplicial coefficient rings; its zeroth homotopy group recovers Mazur's deformation ring. We give evidence that these rings occur in the wild: For suitable Galois representations, the Langlands program predicts that should act on the homology of an arithmetic group. We explain how the Taylor--Wiles method can be used to upgrade such an action to a graded action of on the homology.
