Abstract

We prove a portion of a conjecture of Conrad, Diamond, and Taylor, yielding some new cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjectures, specifically, the modularity of certain potentially Barsotti-Tate Galois representations. The proof follows the template of Wiles, Taylor-Wiles, and Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor, and relies on a detailed study of the descent, across tamely ramified extensions, of finite flat group schemes over the ring of integers of a local field. This makes crucial use of the filtered φ1-modules of Breuil.
