The Sato--Tate conjecture for abelian varieties

Let AA be an abelian variety over a number field KK, and let ST(A)\operatorname{ST}(A) be its Sato--Tate group. For each prime p\mathfrak{p} of good reduction, let xpx_{\mathfrak{p}} be the conjugacy class in ST(A)\operatorname{ST}(A) of the normalized Frobenius image, with the primes ordered by norm. Let XX be the space of conjugacy classes of ST(A)\operatorname{ST}(A), and let μ\mu be the pushforward of Haar measure to XX. Sato--Tate conjecture. The sequence (xp)(x_{\mathfrak{p}}) is equidistributed with respect to μ\mu.

This conjecture predicts the distribution of normalized Frobenius conjugacy classes for abelian varieties. The source states the conjecture in general and notes that the relevant independence of the auxiliary choices is known for dimensions at most three but remains open in general.
