In the first, we generalize results of Greenberg-Vatsal on the behavior of algebraic lambda-invariants of p-ordinary modular forms under congruence. In the second, we generalize a result of Emerton on maps between locally algebraic parabolically induced representations and unitary Banach space representations of GL₂ over a p-adic field.application/pdfenRepresentation theoryIwasawa theorySome results in Iwasawa Theory and the p-adic representation theory of p-adic GL₂Thesis2014-06-25
