On the observability of Galois representations and the Tate conjecture

Abstract

The Tate conjecture has two parts: i) Tate classes are linear combination of algebraic classes, ii) semisimplicity of Galois representations (for smooth projective varieties). B. Moonen proved that i) implies ii) in characteristic 0, using p-adic Hodge theory.

We show that an unconditional result lies behind this implication: the observability of arithmetic monodromy groups of geometric origin (in any characteristic) -which leads to a sharpening of Moonen's result.

We also discuss another aspect of the Tate conjecture related to the transcendence of p-adic periods.
