On the $\ell$-adic Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties

Number Theory 2015-10-13 v4 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We study Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties over finitely generated fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give sufficient conditions for such representations to decompose as a product, and apply them to prove arithmetical analogues of results shown by Moonen and Zarhin in the context of complex abelian varieties (of dimension at most 5).
