On some abelian varieties of type IV

Abstract

We study a certain class of simple abelian varieties of type $\mathrm{IV}$ (in Albert's classification) over number fields with Mumford-Tate groups of type $A$. In particular, we show that such abelian varieties have ordinary reduction away from a set of places of Dirichlet density zero, thus confirming a special case of a broader conjecture of Serre's. We also study the splitting types and Newton polygons of the reductions of the abelian varieties of this type with small dimension (nine).
