Abstract

We consider a product X=E1××EdX=E_1\times\cdots\times E_d of elliptic curves over a finite extension KK of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p with a combination of good or split multiplicative reduction. We assume that at most one of the elliptic curves has supersingular reduction. Under these assumptions, we prove that the Albanese kernel of XX is the direct sum of a finite group and a divisible group, extending work of Raskind and Spiess to cases that include supersingular phenomena. Our method involves studying the kernel of the cycle map CH0(X)/pnHeˊt2d(X,μpnd)CH_0(X)/p^n\rightarrow H^{2d}_{\text{\'{e}t}}(X, \mu_{p^n}^{\otimes d}). We give specific criteria that guarantee this map is injective for every n1n\geq 1. When all curves have good ordinary reduction, we show that it suffices to extend to a specific finite extension LL of KK for these criteria to be satisfied. This extends previous work of Yamazaki and Hiranouchi.
