My question is referred to the statement and proof of Prop. 2.4 of Diamond's
article "An extension of Wiles' Results", in Modular Forms and Fermat Last
Theorem, page 479.
More precisely: fix and two distinct primes, with odd. Let be an
irreducible, continuous, degree 2 representation of the absolute Galois group
of , with coefficients in , an algebraic closure of the finite
field with elements.
Proposition 2.4 states that if the restriction of to the inertia
subgroup of is irreducible and is odd, then is isomorphic to the
representation induced from a character of the Galois group of a quadratic
ramified extension of .
The proof given works if the restriction of to the wild inertia of is
reducible (I think there's a typo in the first line of the proof). What if
is irreducible on wild inertia (and is always odd)? It seems to me that this case is not covered in the proof of the Proposition, but maybe I'm not seeing something obvious.. If such a representation exists, it cannot be induced from a quadratic extension as above, so how does it fit in the description given by the Proposition? Can one say something about such a representation (for example something about its projective image?).
Thanks
