The goal of this session is to explain in detail the main result in [1], namely, that given a totally real Galois number field F and a holomorphic newform f of weight at least 2 and odd level N, under mild conditions of the splitting behaviour of certain small primes at F, there is a Hilbert modular form g over F such that the restriction to $G_F$ of the $\lambda$-adic Galois representation attached to f agrees with the Galois representations attached to g. Time permitting, we will also give an overview of the proof of the automorphy of the 5-th symmetric power over GL(2,F) of certain automorphic forms as described in [2].
