Polymath Proposal: 4-folds of Mumford’s type

Let \(A/K\) be an abelian variety of dimension \(g\) over a number field. If \(g \not\equiv 0 \bmod 4\) and \(\mathrm{End}(A/\mathbf{C}) = \mathbf{Z}\), then Serre proved that the Galois representations associated to \(A\) have open image in \(\mathrm{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbf{Z}_p)\). The result … Continue reading

I gave a talk yesterday where I attempted to draw parallels between the cohomology of (arithmetic) 3-manifolds and weight one modular forms. It was natural then to think about whether there was an analogue of the virtual Betti number conjecture. … Continue reading
