Tate conjecture for Abelian varieties without polarizations

30 Views Asked by At

I'm reading Levin's note to learn the Tate conjecture for Abelian varieties over number fields. It seems that Tate's original paper and this note both use a weak finiteness hypothesis

There are infinitely many $B_n=A/G_n$ which are isomorphic, where $A\to B_n$ is an isogeny and all $B_n$ are equipped with polarizations.

I have understood that by considering the maximal isotropic subspace we can prove the key projective lemma

(Projection Lemma) Assume that $A$ has a polarization $\theta$.Let $W\subset V_\ell(A)$ be a $G_K$-stable subspace. Then, there exists a operator $u\in{\rm End}(A)\otimes Q_\ell$ such that $u^2=u$ and $uV_\ell(A)=W$.

But I don't know why this holds for Abelian varieties without polarizations. I found that in this note $\S$ 8.2.3 the author avoid the maximal isotropic subspace by proving that the finiteness hypothesis holds without assuming any polarized condition.

If I want to follow the first line, how do I reduce to the polarized cases?


I noticed that when we do the reduction

The map $${\rm Hom}(A, B)\otimes\mathbb{Q}_p\to{\rm Hom}(V_p(A),V_p(B))^{G_K}\quad(1)$$ is an isomorphism if and only if $${\rm End}(A)\otimes\mathbb{Q}_p\to{\rm End}(V_p(A))^{G_K}\quad(2)$$ is an isomorphism.

We actually prove a by-product that if $(2)$ holds for $A\times B$, then it holds for $A$ and $B$, right? Thus if $(2)$ holds for polarized Abelian varieties $C=A^4\times(A^\vee)^4$ (it seems that this holds if the projective lemma holds for $C$ and $C^2$), then we can deduce the Tate conjecture for general Abelian varieties $A$. This method seems to work but we do not get the general result for projective lemma.
