Abstract

Let KK be a number field and A/KA/K be an abelian variety of dimension gg. Assuming that the image GG_{\ell^\infty} of the natural Galois representation attached to the Tate module T(A)T_\ell(A) is GSp2g(Z)\operatorname{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}_\ell) for all sufficiently large primes \ell, we provide a semi-effective bound 0(A/K)\ell_0(A/K) such that G=GSp2g(Z)G_{\ell^\infty}=\operatorname{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}_\ell) for all primes >0(A/K)\ell > \ell_0(A/K). The bound is given in terms of the Faltings height of AA and of the cardinality of the residue field at a suitably generic place of KK. We also describe an algorithmic approach to obtain better bounds for abelian threefolds over Q\mathbb{Q}.
