Abstract

Let AA be a simple abelian variety over a number field kk such that End(A)\operatorname{End}(A) is noncommutative. We show that AA splits modulo all but finitely many primes of kk. We prove this by considering the subalgebras of End(Ap)Q\operatorname{End}(A_{\mathfrak p})\otimes\mathbb{Q} which have prime Schur index. Our main tools are Tate's characterization of endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties over finite fields, and a Theorem of Chia-Fu Yu on embeddings of simple algebras.
