Abstract

In this paper, we construct examples where the multiplicities of rank two Galois representations in the localized first cohomology groups of Shimura curves over totally real fields are greater than one. These examples generalize the result of Ribet for Jacobians of Shimura curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and are closely related to the BDJ conjecture.
