Abstract: We say that two abelian varieties $A$ and $A^{\prime }$ defined over a field $F$ are polyquadratic twists if they are isogenous over a Galois extension of $F$ whose Galois group has exponent dividing $2$. Let $A$ and $A^{\prime }$ be abelian varieties defined over a number field $K$ of dimension $ggeq1$. In this article we prove that, if $gleq2$, then $A$ and $A^{\prime }$ are polyquadratic twists if and only if for almost all primes $p$ of $K$ their reductions modulo $p$ are polyquadratic twists. We exhibit a counterexample to this local-global principle for $g=3$. This work builds on a geometric analogue by Khare and Larsen, and on a similar criterion for quadratic twists established by Fit'e, relying itself on the works by Rajan and Ramakrishnan.
