Serre's algebraic Sato–Tate conjecture

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let AA be an abelian variety with rational symplectic representation (V,ψ)(V,\psi), and let KK be a field over which AA is defined. Write G⁡ℓ,K,1alg⁡\operatorname{G}_{\ell,K,1}^{\operatorname{alg}} for the algebraic ℓ\ell-adic monodromy group of AA with determinant normalized to one. Algebraic Sato–Tate conjecture. There is a reductive algebraic group AST⁡K(A)\operatorname{AST}_K(A) defined over Q\mathbb Q, natural in KK, with

AST⁡K(A)⊆Sp⁡(V,ψ),\operatorname{AST}_K(A)\subseteq \operatorname{Sp}_{(V,\psi)},

and, for every prime number ℓ\ell, a natural-in-KK monomorphism of group schemes

ast⁡ℓ,K:G⁡ℓ,K,1alg⁡↪AST⁡K(A)Qℓ.\operatorname{ast}_{\ell,K}:\operatorname{G}_{\ell,K,1}^{\operatorname{alg}}\hookrightarrow \operatorname{AST}_K(A)_{\mathbb Q_\ell}.

Moreover, this monomorphism is an isomorphism:

ast⁡ℓ,K:G⁡ℓ,K,1alg⁡→≃AST⁡K(A)Qℓ.\operatorname{ast}_{\ell,K}:\operatorname{G}_{\ell,K,1}^{\operatorname{alg}}\xrightarrow{\simeq}\operatorname{AST}_K(A)_{\mathbb Q_\ell}.

The conjecture proposes a motivic algebraic group over Q\mathbb Q whose base change to Qℓ\mathbb Q_\ell captures the normalized algebraic Galois monodromy group. The supplied text attributes its development to Serre, Banaszak and Kedlaya, but gives no resolution status.
