Automorphic Galois representations and the inverse Galois problem for certain groups of type $D_{m}$

Abstract

Let $m$ be an integer greater than three and $\ell$ be an odd prime. In this paper, we prove that at least one of the following groups: $\mbox{P}\Omega^\pm_{2m}(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$, $\mbox{PSO}^\pm_{2m}(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$, $\mbox{PO}_{2m}^\pm(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$ or $\mbox{PGO}^\pm_{2m}(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$ is a Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}$ for infinitely many integers $s > 0$. This is achieved by making use of a slight modification of a group theory result of Khare, Larsen and Savin, and previous results of the author on the images of the Galois representations attached to cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mbox{GL}_{2m}(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$..
