Companion forms for unitary and symplectic groups
We prove a companion forms theorem for ordinary n-dimensional automorphic
Galois representations, by use of automorphy lifting theorems developed by the
second author, and a technique for deducing companion forms theorems due to the
first author. We deduce results about the possible Serre weights of mod l
Galois representations corresponding to automorphic representations on unitary
groups. We then use functoriality to prove similar results for automorphic
representations of GSp4 over totally real fields.Comment: 40 page
The Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjecture for unitary groups
Let p > 2 be prime. We prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture for rank
two unitary groups for mod p representations in the unramified case (that is,
the Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjecture for unitary groups), by proving that any
Serre weight which occurs is a predicted weight. This completes the analysis
begun in [BLGG11], which proved that all predicted Serre weights occur. Our
methods are purely local, using the theory of (phi,Ghat)-modules to determine
the possible reductions of certain two-dimensional crystalline representations.Comment: J. Amer. Math. Soc., to appear. Contains minor corrections from

Congruences between Hilbert modular forms: constructing ordinary lifts
Under mild hypotheses, we prove that if F is a totally real field, k is the
algebraic closure of the finite field with l elements and r : G_F --> GL_2(k)
is irreducible and modular, then there is a finite solvable totally real
extension F'/F such that r|_{G_F'} has a modular lift which is ordinary at each
place dividing l. We deduce a similar result for r itself, under the assumption
that at places v|l the representation r|_{G_F_v} is reducible. This allows us
to deduce improvements to results in the literature on modularity lifting
theorems for potentially Barsotti-Tate representations and the
Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjecture. The proof makes use of a novel lifting
technique, going via rank 4 unitary groups.Comment: 48 page
The Sato-Tate conjecture for Hilbert modular forms
We prove the Sato-Tate conjecture for Hilbert modular forms. More precisely,
we prove the natural generalisation of the Sato-Tate conjecture for regular
algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of \GL_2(\A_F), a totally
real field, which are not of CM type. The argument is based on the potential
automorphy techniques developed by Taylor et. al., but makes use of automorphy
lifting theorems over ramified fields, together with a 'topological' argument
with local deformation rings. In particular, we give a new proof of the
conjecture for modular forms, which does not make use of potential automorphy
theorems for non-ordinary -dimensional Galois representations.Comment: 59 pages. Essentially final version, to appear in Journal of the AMS.

Guest Editorial – Sources and Methods in Criminology and Criminal Justice Research
In this Guest Editorial for a special issue of Legal Information Management, David Gee (Deputy Librarian, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies) summaries the aims and outputs of a national socio-legal training day on “Sources and Methods in Criminology and Criminal Justice” at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies on Friday 20 November 2015. He introduces the articles developed from the training day by librarians, information managers and interested researchers which seek to highlight what is included in key collections and how they can be used for criminology and criminal justice research. The workshop was jointly organised by the British Library, the British Society of Criminology, the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and the Socio-Legal Studies Association
