Abstract

Shimura and Taniyama proved that if AA is a potentially CM abelian variety over a number field FF with CM by a field KK linearly disjoint from F, then there is an algebraic Hecke character λA\lambda_A of KK such that L(A/F,s)=L(λA,s)L(A/F,s)=L(\lambda_A,s). We consider a certain converse to their result. Namely, let AA be a potentially CM abelian variety appearing as a factor of the Jacobian of a curve of the form ye=γxf+δy^e=\gamma x^f+\delta. Fix positive integers aa and nn such that n/2<ann/2 < a \leq n. Under mild conditions on e,f,γ,δe, f, \gamma, \delta, we construct a Chow motive MM, defined over F=Q(γ,δ)F=\mathbb{Q}(\gamma,\delta), such that L(M/F,s)L(M/F,s) and L(λAaλˉAna,s)L(\lambda_A^a\bar{\lambda}_A^{n-a},s) have the same Euler factors outside finitely many primes.
