Abstract

Given a commutative complete local noetherian ring $A$ with finite residue field $\boldsymbol{k}$ , we show that there is a topologically finitely generated profinite group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ and an absolutely irreducible continuous representation $\overline{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}}:\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\rightarrow \text{GL}_{n}(\boldsymbol{k})$ such that $A$ is a universal deformation ring for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4},\overline{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}}$ .
