Deformation of Rigid Conjugate Self-dual Galois Representations

In this article,we study deformations of conjugate self-dual Galois representations.The study is twofold.First,we prove an R=T type theorem for a conjugate self-dual Galois representation with coefficients in a finite field,satisfying a certain property called rigid.Second,we study the rigidity property for the family of residue Galois representations attached to a symmetric power of an elliptic curve,as well as to a regular algebraic conjugate self-dual cuspidal representation.
