A Radical Characterization of Abelian Varieties

Other Titles

Abstract

Let A be a square-free abelian variety defined over a number field K. Let S be a density one set of prime ideals \p of OK. A famous theorem of Faltings says that the Frobenius polynomials PA,\p(x) for \p∈S determine A up to isogeny. We show that the prime factors of |A(\FF\p)|=PA,\p(1) for \p∈S also determine A up to isogeny over an explicit finite extension of K. The proof relies on understanding the -adic monodromy groups which come from the -adic Galois representations of A, and the absolute Weyl group action on their weights. We also show that there exists an explicit integer e≥1 such that after replacing K by a suitable finite extension, the Frobenius polynomials of A at \p must equal to the e-th power of a separable polynomial for a density one set of prime ideals \p⊆OK.
