Abstract: Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. When $A$ is isogenous to a product of simple abelian varieties of $GSp$ type, i.e. whose Mumford-Tate group is "generic" (isomorphic to the group of symplectic similitudes) and which satisfy the Mumford-Tate conjecture, we compute the optimal exponent for this bound in terms of the dimensions of the abelian subvarieties of $A$. The result is unconditional for a product of simple abelian varieties with endomorphism ring $$ and dimension outside an explicit exceptional set $mathcalS=4,10,16,32,\mathrm{...}$. Furthermore, following a strategy of Serre, we also prove that if the Mumford-Tate conjecture is true for some abelian varieties of $GSp$ type, it is then true for a product of such abelian varieties.
