Eichler cohomology and periods of modular forms on p-adic Schottky groups.
Let be an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field; we study whether the reductions tend to be simple, too. We show that if is a definite quaternion algebra, then the reduction is geometrically isogenous to the self-product of an absolutely simple abelian variety for in a set of positive density, while if is of Mumford type, then is simple for almost all . For a large class of abelian varieties with commutative absolute endomorphism ring, we give an explicit upper bound...
