The Mumford�Tate conjecture for products of abelian varieties

Abstract: Let

X

be a smooth projective variety over a finitely generated field

K

of characteristic~

0

and fix an embedding

K s u b s e t m a t h b b C

. The Mumford--Tate conjecture is a precise way of saying that certain extra structure on the

e l l

-adic 'etale cohomology groups of~

X

(namely, a Galois representation) and certain extra structure on the singular cohomology groups of~

X

(namely, a Hodge structure) convey the same information. The main result of this paper says that if

A_{1}

and~

A_{2}

are abelian varieties (or abelian motives) over~

K

, and the Mumford--Tate conjecture holds for both~

A_{1}

and~

A_{2}

, then it holds for

A_{1} i m e s A_{2}

. These results do not depend on the embedding

K s u b s e t C C

.
