%0 Journal Article %T On congruences of Galois representations of number fields %A Yoshiyasu Ozeki %A Yuichiro Taguchi %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We give a criterion for two l-adic Galois representations of an algebraic number field to be isomorphic when restricted to a decomposition group, in terms of the global representations mod l. This is applied to prove a generalization of a conjecture of Rasmussen-Tamagawa under a semistablity condition, extending some results of one of the authors. It is also applied to prove a congruence result on the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.0321v1
