Title: On the paramodularity of typical abelian surfaces


Abstract:  In this talk we will prove that some abelian surfaces are 
modular, in the sense that there is a paramodular form whose L-series 
matches that of the abelian surface. During the talk we will recall the 
relation between automorphic representations and algebraic varieties 
(with special emphasis in the case of abelian surfaces), and will 
describe in detail the Faltings-Serre method (and its relation with 
deformation theory). The talk will be self contained, and only some 
knowledge on Galois theory
will be assumed.
