Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of integral Frobenius to formulate an integral analogue of the classical compatibility condition linking the collection of rational Tate modules V λ (A) arising from abelian varieties over number fields with real multiplication. Our main result gives a recipe for constructing an integral Frobenius when the real multiplication field has class number one. By exploiting algorithms already existing in the literature, we investigate this construction for three modular abelian surfaces over Q.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The fact that the variety \(A_{\mathfrak {p}}\) arises as reduction from characteristic zero plays no role in Propositions 3.1 and 3.2.

  2. 2.

    More generally, this freeness holds if \(S_{\mathfrak {p}}\otimes \mathbf {Z}_\ell \) is a Gorenstein ring (see [11, Remark, p. 502]).

  3. 3.

    These ideals are always defined in our computations as we never found a prime p for which \(a_p^2-4p=0\).
