Author’s abstract: Let \(G\) be a profinite group which is topologically finitely generated, \(p\) a prime number and \(d\geq 1\) an integer. We show that the functor from rigid analytic spaces over \(\mathbb Q_p\), to sets, which associates to a rigid space \(Y\) the set of continuous \(d\)-dimensional pseudocharacters \(G\to{\mathcal O}(Y)\), is representable by a quasi-Stein rigid analytic space \(X\), and we study its general properties.
Our main tool is a theory of determinants extending the one of pseudocharacters but which works over an arbitrary base ring; an independent aim of this chapter is to expose the main facts of this theory. The moduli space \(X\) is constructed as the generic fiber of the moduli formal scheme of continuous formal determinants on \(G\) of dimension \(d\).
As an application to number theory, this provides a framework to study rigid analytic families of Galois representations (e.g., eigenvarieties) and generic fibers of pseudodeformation spaces (especially in the “residually reducible” case, including when \(p\leq d\)).
