review text: As the abstract explains, the author calculates the monodromy groups of some universal families of abelian varieties with real multiplication by \(F={\mathbb Q}(\cos{{2\pi}\over{r}})\), over a Hilbert modular variety \({\mathcal M}_{g, 3{\mathcal L}}\) over finite fields, and then uses Deligne's equidistribution theorem to obtain a description of the Sato-Tate distribution of the associated Frobenius eigenvalues. The space \({\mathcal M}_{g, 3{\mathcal L}}\) is associated with a level-\(3\) structure sufficient to make it be a fine moduli space. The result is that as one takes larger and larger base fields the distribution of Frobenius angles converges weakly in measure to the Sato-Tate measure on \(\prod_\tau [0,\pi]\) (the product taken over the embeddings of \(F\) in \(\overline{\mathbb Q}\)). This follows from Deligne's result once one computes the geometric monodromy, which is done here by a rather general method.
