Abstract

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We investigate the interplay between the algebraic structure of the Grothendieck ring of finitely generated $\mathbb{F}[GL_2 (\mathbb{F})]$-modules, and the existence of cohomological operators producing congruences modulo $p$ between automorphic forms on definite quaternion algebras over a totally real field.

Keywords

congruences between automorphic forms, modular representations of $GL_2$, Grothendieck ring
