The Tate conjecture for abelian fourfolds over finite fields
Abstract
We prove the Tate conjecture for abelian fourfolds over finite fields. This is the first resolution of the conjecture for all abelian varieties of a fixed dimension over finite fields since the work of Tate in the 1960s. The proof relies on techniques from Ancona's proof of the standard conjecture of Hodge type for abelian fourfolds, and ultimately reduces to Markman's results on the algebraicity of Weil classes on complex abelian varieties. Combining the above case of the Tate conjecture with theorems of Ancona and Kahn, we deduce that the standard conjecture on homological versus numerical equivalence holds for abelian fourfolds over arbitrary fields. This completes the proof of the standard conjectures for abelian fourfolds.
