Clozel, Harris and Taylor have recently proved a modularity lifting theorem of the following general form: if ρ is an ℓ-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field for which the residual representation ρ comes from a modular form then so does ρ. This theorem has numerous hypotheses; a crucial one is that the image of ρ must be “big,” a technical condition on subgroups of GLn. In this paper we investigate this condition in compatible systems. Our main result is that in a sufficiently irreducible compatible system the residual images are big at a density one set of primes. This result should make some of the work of Clozel, Harris and Taylor easier to apply in the setting of compatible systems.
