“Intersective polynomials and Diophantine approximation”

We consider Tate cycles on an Abelian variety A defined over a sufficiently large number field K and having complex multiplication. We show that there is an effective bound C = C(A,K) so that to check whether a given cohomology class is a Tate class on A, it suffices to check the action of the Frobenius automorphisms at primes v of K of norm less than C. We also show that for a set of primes v of K of density 1, the space of Tate cycles on Av, the reduction of A at v, is isomorphic to the space of Tate cycles on A itself.
This is a joint work with V. Kumar Murty.
