Generalized Sato–Tate conjecture for abelian varieties

About 13 years old · traced to

Let AA be an abelian variety of dimension gg defined over Q\mathbb{Q}. For each prime pp of good reduction, write the normalized Euler factor as

L‾p(A,T)=∑i=02gai(A)(p)Ti.\overline{L}_{p}(A,T)=\sum_{i=0}^{2g}a_i(A)(p)T^i.

Let ST⁡(A)⊂USp⁡(2g)\operatorname{ST}(A)\subset\operatorname{USp}(2g) be the Sato–Tate group of AA, and for i=0,1,…,2gi=0,1,\dots,2g let

Ii=[−(2gi),(2gi)]I_i=\left[-{2g\choose i},{2g\choose i}\right]

and let Φi ⁣:ST⁡(A)→Ii\Phi_i\colon\operatorname{ST}(A)\to I_i send an element to the ithi^{\text{th}} coefficient of its characteristic polynomial. Denote the Haar measure on ST⁡(A)\operatorname{ST}(A) by μ(ST⁡(A))\mu(\operatorname{ST}(A)) and its pushforward under Φi\Phi_i by Φi∗(μ(ST⁡(A)))\Phi_{i*}(\mu(\operatorname{ST}(A))). Generalized Sato–Tate conjecture. For each i=0,1,…,2gi=0,1,\dots,2g, the values ai(A)(p)a_i(A)(p) are equidistributed, with respect to increasing size, on IiI_i with respect to Φi∗(μ(ST⁡(A)))\Phi_{i*}(\mu(\operatorname{ST}(A))). This conjecture predicts that the Sato–Tate group governs the distribution of normalized Euler factors at the primes of good reduction. The form stated here was recently proved; see Serre (2011), Lectures on NX(p)N_X(p) for references.
