Abstract
We prove that every continuous, irreducible, odd two-dimensional 2-adic representation of $G_{\mathbb Q}$, unramified outside finitely many primes and de Rham at 2 with distinct Hodge–Tate weights, is modular up to Tate twist. This resolves the odd, regular two-dimensional Fontaine–Mazur conjecture over ℚ at 2, including all residual representations.

Comments and discussion
- Persiflage (galoisrepresentations.org), A Brief Digest of Some New OpenAI Results (blog post, 2026-10-08). Item #2 gives an explicitly superficial assessment of this paper, suggesting the main difficulties at p=2 are technical, relating it to recent work of Lue Pan, calling it "very clean, which is useful for applications" and noting its use in the release's Hilbert's tenth problem argument. In the comments, Chris Xu writes: "#2 feels like folklore that people didn't care to write down."
Related prior literature mentioned by others
- Lue Pan, The Fontaine–Mazur conjecture in the residually reducible case (arXiv:1901.07166v2, 3 September 2021). Identified in the Erdős Problems reading guide as an odd-prime precedent, this work establishes regular Fontaine–Mazur modularity for primes at least five together with earlier results.
Possibly relevant literature (found by the agent, not checked)
- Vytautas Paškūnas, On 2-dimensional 2-adic Galois representations of local and global fields (arXiv:1509.00332; Algebra Number Theory 10 (2016) 1301–1358). Describes generic blocks of locally admissible mod 2 representations of GL₂(Q₂) and proves new cases of Fontaine–Mazur for 2-adic representations; the paper cites the later work of Tung (Tung2021Dyadic) that removes a local restriction from this one, but not this paper itself.
- Xinyao Zhang, On the pro-modularity in the residually reducible case for some totally real fields (arXiv:2411.18661, v1 Nov 2024, v5 7 October 2026). Proves potential pro-modularity for residually reducible representations over certain totally real fields at odd primes along the Skinner–Wiles/Pan strategy, comparable to this paper's family-level occurrence theorem over a solvable totally real field $F$.

Section 9.1.3 has a card on this paper listing the marked-line/transverse-chart, finite-jet patching and ordinary-family steps; it calls the overall verdict a "combination", says it is not formalized, and names Thorne's August 2026 preprint as the principal external input.

Family 010: Unrestricted pro-modularity at the prime two
Every continuous odd absolutely irreducible two-dimensional 2-adic representation of $G_{\mathbb Q}$ unramified outside finitely many primes occurs in a completed Hecke algebra at some odd tame level. Also proves classical modularity up to Tate twist for irreducible odd representations with these finiteness conditions that are de Rham at 2 with distinct Hodge–Tate weights, resolving the dyadic Fontaine–Mazur case without residual restrictions.
