Description: Let K be a finite extension of [Special characters omitted.] , and let ρ : Gal ( K/K )[arrow right] GL n ([Special characters omitted.] ) be a mod l Galois representation. If l ≠ p , we show that the generic fiber of universal lifting spaces of [Special characters omitted.] is equidimensional, and we prove that the dimension of the generic fiber is n 2 . We show that the study of the universal lifting spaces of any [Special characters omitted.] can be reduced to the study of the universal lifting spaces of Galois representations [Special characters omitted.] which is trivial on the subgroup of the inertia group I K of Gal ( K/K ) whose order is prime to l. Then we characterize the unipotent irreducible components of characteristic 0 for some special cases, especially when n ≤ 4 and the order of the residue field of K is not equal to 1 mod l. The only assumption I make is that the image of the lift of the Frobenius is semisimple.
