Endomorphism algebras of motives attached to elliptic modular forms
We study the endomorphism algebra of the motive attached to a non-CM elliptic modular cusp form. We prove that this algebra has a sub-algebra isomorphic to a certain crossed product algebra . The Tate conjecture predicts that is the full endomorphism algebra of the motive. We also investigate the Brauer class of . For example we show that if the nebentypus is real and is a prime that does not divide the level, then the local behaviour of at a place lying above is essentially determined...
