Images de repr\'esentations galoisiennes associ\'ees \`a certaines formes modulaires de Siegel de genre $2$

Abstract

We study the image of the $\ell$-adic Galois representations associated to the four vector valued Siegel modular forms appearing in the work of Chenevier and Lannes. These representations are symplectic of dimension $4$. Following a method of Dieulefait, we determine the primes $\ell$ for which these representations are absolutely irreducible. In addition, we show that their image is "full" for all primes $\ell$ such that the associated residual representation is absolutely irreducible, except in two cases.
