The Lang–Trotter conjecture for products of non-CM elliptic curves
Tóm tắt
Inspired by the work of Lang–Trotter on the densities of primes with fixed Frobenius traces for elliptic curves defined over
$${\mathbb {Q}}$$
and by the subsequent generalization of Cojocaru–Davis–Silverberg–Stange to generic abelian varieties, we study the analogous question for abelian surfaces isogenous to products of non-CM elliptic curves over
$${\mathbb {Q}}$$
that are not
$${\overline{{\mathbb {Q}}}}$$
-isogenous. We formulate the corresponding conjectural asymptotic, provide upper bounds, and explicitly compute (when the elliptic curves lie outside a thin set) the arithmetically significant constants appearing in the asymptotic. This allows us to provide computational evidence for the conjecture.
