The generalized Sato–Tate conjecture for Jacobians

Let CC be a smooth projective curve over a number field kk. Let XkX_k be the set of conjugacy classes of ST(Jac(C)k)\operatorname{ST}(\operatorname{Jac}(C)_k), and let {pi}i1\{p_i\}_{i\geq 1} be the primes of good reduction for CC over kk, ordered by norm. For each pip_i, let xpiXkx_{p_i}\in X_k be the corresponding conjugacy class. Generalized Sato–Tate conjecture. The sequence {xpi}i1\{x_{p_i}\}_{i\geq 1} is equidistributed on XkX_k with respect to the image on XkX_k of the Haar measure of ST(Jac(C)k)\operatorname{ST}(\operatorname{Jac}(C)_k). This generalizes the classical Sato–Tate conjecture to Jacobians and higher-dimensional abelian varieties. The paper states that the conjecture is not fully proven, although many low-dimensional cases are known.
