“…Moreover in the formula (24) for such v, we have J = J 1 = J 2 , w = w 1 = w 2 , β 1 ≡ β 2 ≡ 1 mod pO F,p and Nm F/Q (v) ≡ 1 mod p, so that r J,w 0 (T v f ) = 2r J,w 0 (f ). Therefore if r J,w 0 (f ) = 0 for some (J, w), then ρ f (Frob v ) has characteristic polynomial (X − 1) 2 for such v. By the Cebotarev Density Theorem (and class field theory) it follows that ρ f (g) has characteristic polynomial (X − 1) 2 for all g ∈ G K , where K is the strict ray 6 Alternatively, this can be proved by revisiting the construction in Theorem 6.1.1 and observing that if r J,w 0 = 0 for some (J, w), then the liftf is non-cuspidal. One then deduces that the Galois representation ρf is reducible, and hence so is ρ f (possibly after extending scalars in the case p = 2).…”
