Abstract
Let A be an abelian threefold defined over a number field K with potential multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field M. If A has signature (2,1) and the multiplication by M is defined over an at most quadratic extension, we attach to A an elliptic curve defined over K with potential complex multiplication by M, whose attached Galois representation is determined by the Hecke character associated to the determinant of the compatible system of lambda-adic representations of A. We deduce that if the geometric endomorphism algebra of A is an imaginary quadratic field, then it necessarily has class number bounded by [K:Q].
