Abstract

Let AA be a gg-dimensional abelian variety over Q\mathbb{Q} whose adelic Galois representation has open image in GSp2gZ^\text{GSp}_{2g} \widehat{\mathbb{Z}}. We investigate the endomorphism algebras End(Ap)Q=Q(πp)\text{End}(A_p) \otimes \mathbb{Q} = \mathbb{Q}( \pi_p ) of the reduction of AA modulo primes pp at which this reduction is ordinary and simple. We obtain conditional and unconditional asymptotic upper bounds on the number of primes at which this "Frobenius field" is a specified number field and, when AA is two-dimensional, at which the Frobenius field contains a specified real quadratic number field. These investigations continue the investigations of variants of the Lang-Trotter Conjectures on elliptic curves.
