L-series and isogenies of abelian varieties
Abstract
Faltings's isogeny theorem states that two abelian varieties are isogenous over a number field precisely when the characteristic polynomials of the reductions at almost all prime ideals of the number field agree. This implies that two abelian varieties over with the same -series are necessarily isogenous, but this is false over a general number field. Let and be two abelian varieties, defined over number fields and respectively. Our main result is that and are isogenous after a suitable isomorphism between and if and only if the Dirichlet character groups of and are isomorphic and the -series of and twisted by the Dirichlet characters match.
