Finite linear groups, lattices, and products of elliptic curves

Abstract: Let

V

be a finite dimensional complex linear space and let

G

be an irreducible finite subgroup of

G L (V)

. For a

G

-invariant lattice

L a m b d a

in

V

of maximal rank, we give a description of structure of the complex torus

V / L a m b d a

. In particular, we prove that for a wide class of groups,

V / L a m b d a

is isogenous to a self-product of an elliptic curve, and that in many cases

V / L a m b d a

is isomorphic to a product of mutually isogenous elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We show that there are

G

and

L a m b d a

such that the complex torus

V / L a m b d a

is not an abelian variety but one can always replace

L a m b d a

by another

G

-invariant lattice

D e l t a

such that

V / D e l t a

is a product if elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We amplify these results with a criterion, in terms of the character and the Schur

m a t h b f Q

-index of

G

-module

V

, of the existence of a nonzero

G

-invariant lattice in

V

.
