Abstract

et A/QA/Q be a semistable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension d≥1. Let ℓ be a prime and let ρ¯¯¯A,ℓ:GQ→GSp2d(Fℓ)ρ¯A,ℓ:GQ→GSp2d(Fℓ) be the representation giving the action of GQ:=Gal(Q¯¯¯¯/Q)GQ:=Gal(Q¯/Q) on the ℓ-torsion group A[ℓ]. We show that if ℓ≥ max(5,d+2), and if image of ρ¯¯¯A,ℓρ¯A,ℓ contains a transvection then ρ¯¯¯A,ℓρ¯A,ℓ is either reducible or surjective.

With the help of this we study surjectivity of ρ¯¯¯A,ℓρ¯A,ℓ for semistable polarized abelian threefolds, and give an example of a genus 3 hyperelliptic curve C/QC/Q such that ρ¯¯¯J,ℓρ¯J,ℓ is surjective for all primes ℓ≥3, where J is the Jacobian of C.
