Sato-Tate groups of abelian threefolds: a preview of the classification

Abstract

We announce the classification of Sato-Tate groups of abelian threefolds over number fields; there are 410 possible conjugacy classes of closed subgroups of USp(6) that occur. We summarize the key points of the "upper bound" aspect of the classification, and give a more rigorous treatment of the "lower bound" by realizing 33 groups that appear in the classification as maximal cases with respect to inclusions of finite index. Further details will be provided in a subsequent paper.

arXiv commentWe withdrew the statement that all 33 maximal groups are realizable over Q. To appear in Contemp. Math
