Galois Representations on Abelian Varieties
Abstract: We introduce Galois representations on Abelian varieties, and discuss a theorem of Duke for elliptic curves over Q,
as well as various extensions of his theorem to other number fields, and to higher dimensions. The general flavor
of these theorems is that most of the time we can expect the Galois representations to be surjective for all or almost
all primes
