On the root numbers of abelian varieties with real multiplication

Number Theory 2021-08-03 v3

Abstract

Let A/KA/K be an abelian variety with real multiplication defined over a pp-adic field KK with p>2p>2. We show that A/KA/K must have either potentially good or potentially totally toric reduction. In the former case we give formulas of the local root number of A/KA/K under the condition that inertia acts via an abelian quotient on the associated Tate module; in the latter we produce formulas without additional hypotheses.

23 pages; added a discussion on examples in 0.7; definition in 0.1 of real multiplication slightly modified, changed 1.2, 2.4, and 2.6 to fit the modification in 0.1; corrected some minor errors and imprecisions
