We consider families of Siegel eigenforms of genus $2$ and finite slope, defined as local pieces of an eigenvariety and equipped with a suitable integral structure. Under some assumptions on the residual image, we show that the image of the Galois representation associated with a family is big, in the sense that a Lie algebra attached to it contains a congruence subalgebra of non-zero level. We call the Galois level of the family the largest such level. We show that it is trivial when the residual representation has full image. When the residual representation is a symmetric cube, the zero locus defined by the Galois level of the family admits an automorphic description: it is the locus of points that arise from overconvergent eigenforms for $\operatorname{GL}_{2}$, via a $p$-adic Langlands lift attached to the symmetric cube representation. Our proof goes via the comparison of the Galois level with a ‘fortuitous’ congruence ideal. Some of the $p$-adic lifts are interpolated by a morphism of rigid analytic spaces from an eigencurve for $\operatorname{GL}_{2}$ to an eigenvariety for $\operatorname{GSp}_{4}$, while the remainder appear as isolated points on the eigenvariety.

We study the $p$-adic variation of triangulations over $p$-adic families of $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D711},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-modules. In particular, we study certain canonical sub-filtrations of the pointwise triangulations and show that they extend to affinoid neighborhoods of crystalline points. This generalizes results of Kedlaya, Pottharst and Xiao and (independently) Liu in the case where one expects the entire triangulation to extend. We also study the ramification of weight parameters over natural $p$-adic families.

The aim of this article is to classify two-dimensional split trianguline representations of p-adic fields. This is a generalization of a result of Colmez who classified two-dimensional split trianguline representations of for p≠2 by using (φ,Γ)-modules over a Robba ring. In this article, for any prime p and for any p-adic field K, we classify two-dimensional split trianguline representations of using B-pairs as defined by Berger.
