We prove the existence of nonclassical
-adic
automorphic eigenforms associated to a classical system of eigenvalues
on definite unitary groups in three variables. These eigenforms are
associated to Galois representations which are crystalline but very critical at
. We
use patching techniques related to the trianguline variety of local Galois
representations and its local model. Our input consists of a comparison of the
coherent sheaves appearing in the patching process with coherent sheaves on the
Grothendieck–Springer version of the Steinberg variety given by a functor
constructed by Bezrukavnikov.
