**The main new insight is how to handle divisors that appear only after reduction modulo \(p\): construct a different characteristic-zero lift that preserves the divisor needed for the argument.** This makes the relevant intersection numbers provably rational. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} The difficulty is that a rational Hodge class need not be known to come from an algebraic cycle. When reduction introduces new divisors, its intersections with them therefore have no obvious reason to be rational. The paper’s decisive step is a dichotomy for **balanced Weil classes**, the special classes to which it reduces the problem (Proposition 5.2): - Either their intersections with **every complementary product of divisors vanish**; - Or the specialized classes themselves become **rational combinations of divisor products**, with the same coefficients in every cohomology theory. To establish the second possibility, the authors construct a compatible Hodge filtration, realize it on an auxiliary abelian variety, and lift a carefully chosen divisor. That divisor then generates the required Weil classes through a rational polynomial identity. Lifting was already part of [Milne’s proposed strategy](https://www.jmilne.org/math/articles/SVp.pdf); constructing this lift and obtaining the rational identity are the central advances here. The resulting theorem says that these intersections are **one common rational number in all \(\ell\)-adic and crystalline realizations**, including when \(p=2\). The stronger statement that every specialized Hodge class is algebraic additionally uses a separate theorem about CM abelian varieties. - Explain the intuition - Walk through the key argument - Assess the proof > Right it's clear that simultaneous liftability of classes would solve the problem. You're saying that the authors realized that there is a dichotomy: Either the intersection is zero or one can solve for liftability?

Yes—**nonvanishing supplies exactly the extra structure needed to construct a suitable lift**, after reducing to balanced Weil classes. My earlier explanation understated that point. The mechanism is: 1. A nonzero pairing with a divisor product forces the existence of an **invertible, Rosati-symmetric endomorphism** \[ u e=\bar e\,u \qquad(e\in E). \] Its associated divisor \(D_u\) is nondegenerate on each \(E\)-eigenspace. 2. They construct an admissible Hodge filtration preserving \(E\) and \(u\), and realize it on an auxiliary lift, allowing powers and isogenies. This lets them lift \(D_u\) while transporting the Weil class. 3. On that lift, powers of the \(E\)-translates of \(D_u\) generate the Weil classes with rational coefficients. Specializing gives the required rational divisor identity. So the precise dichotomy is stronger: \[ \boxed{\text{All complementary divisor pairings vanish} \quad\text{or}\quad \gamma_0\text{ is itself a rational polynomial in divisors}.} \] This is Proposition 5.2 and its proof on pp. 24–28. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} The qualification is that they **extract one specially structured divisor** from nonvanishing; they do not establish simultaneous liftability of the original divisors in the pairing. And constructing the compatible filtration remains a substantial part of the proof—nonvanishing gives the input that makes that construction possible. - Why nonvanishing forces invertibility - How the filtration is constructed - Why one divisor generates Weil classes > Can you break down each of steps 1, 2 and 3 in more detail?

Let’s start **after the reduction to balanced Weil classes**. We have a CM field \(E\) acting on an abelian variety \(A\), with \(E\)-rank \(2s\) in first homology. After splitting \(E\), \[ V=\bigoplus_{\tau:E\hookrightarrow\Omega}V_\tau, \qquad \dim V_\tau=2s. \] A Weil class is built from the determinant lines \(\bigwedge^{2s}V_\tau^\vee\). The polarization \(\psi\) pairs \(V_\tau\) with \(V_{\bar\tau}\). I’ll suppress Tate twists below. The argument is in Sections 4–5 of the paper. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} 1. **A nonzero intersection produces a particularly useful divisor.** Let \(g=\dim A\). Hard Lefschetz within the divisor algebra reduces a nonzero complementary pairing to one of the form \[ \gamma_0\,D_1\cdots D_s\,\psi^{g-2s}\neq 0. \] Choose a determinant component of \(\gamma_0\), supported on some \(V_\tau\), that contributes nontrivially. **That component already uses all \(2s\) dimensions of \(V_\tau\).** Consequently, no remaining factor can use \(V_\tau\). But each polarization factor that uses \(V_{\bar\tau}\) also uses \(V_\tau\), so the polarization factors cannot supply any of the required degrees on \(V_{\bar\tau}\). Those degrees must all come from the \(s\) divisors. Thus \[ (D_1|_{V_{\bar\tau}})\wedge\cdots\wedge (D_s|_{V_{\bar\tau}})\neq 0. \] This implies that some linear combination of these restricted divisor forms is nondegenerate: the coefficient of \(t_1\cdots t_s\) in \[ \left(\sum_i t_iD_i|_{V_{\bar\tau}}\right)^s \] is \(s!\) times that nonzero product. Hence the polynomial is not identically zero, and some combination has nonzero top exterior power. Now translate this into endomorphisms. Via the polarization, a divisor corresponds to a Rosati-symmetric endomorphism \(t\), with form \[ D_t(x,y)=\psi(x,ty). \] The part of \(t\) responsible for the restriction of this form to \(V_\xi\) is precisely its block \[ V_\xi\longrightarrow V_{\bar\xi}. \] Keeping only these blocks produces an element of \[ U=\{u\in\operatorname{End}^0(A_0): u^\dagger=u,\;ue=\bar e\,u\}. \] This projection preserves the nondegenerate restriction just found. Nondegeneracy is an open polynomial condition, so density of rational points in the rational vector space \(U\) gives a **rational** \(u\) with that property. The subtle point is why nondegeneracy on **one** eigenspace makes \(u\) invertible everywhere. If \(u\) were not invertible, its connected kernel, after clearing denominators, would contain a positive-dimensional abelian subvariety \(C\). The relation \(ue=\bar e\,u\) makes \(C\) \(E\)-stable. A nonzero abelian variety carrying an action of the field \(E\) has nonzero homology at **every** embedding of \(E\): the characteristic polynomial of a primitive element is rational, forcing equal multiplicities of its conjugate eigenvalues. Thus \(\ker u\) would meet \(V_{\bar\tau}\) nontrivially, contradicting nondegeneracy there. We have therefore obtained an invertible \(u\). Its divisor \[ D_u(x,y)=\psi(x,uy) \] is nondegenerate on every \(V_\tau\) separately. This is the crucial output of Step 1: **one divisor with the precise eigenspace structure needed to generate determinant classes.** 2. **Construct a Hodge filtration that keeps this divisor liftable, then realize it geometrically.** Work on the crystalline module \[ D=H^1_{\mathrm{cris}}(A_0)[1/p], \] with dual polarization pairing \(\beta\). A proposed lift determines a subspace \(L=\operatorname{Fil}^1D_K\). The paper seeks \(L\) that is \(E\)-stable, \(u\)-stable, Lagrangian for \(\beta\), and has dimension \(s\) at every embedding of \(E\). These conditions preserve the field action, the extra divisor, the polarization, and the balanced Hodge type. There is also a Frobenius condition: **weak admissibility**. For every subisocrystal \(P\), \[ t_H(P):=\dim(P_K\cap L)\le t_N(P), \] where \(t_N(P)\) is its sum of Newton slopes; equality is required for the whole space. The construction first makes the symmetry conditions automatic. Introduce \[ b_u(x,y)=\beta(x,uy). \] This is a nondegenerate alternating form. Rosati positivity makes \(u\) semisimple, and \(u^2\) commutes with \(E\). After a finite splitting extension, decompose \(D\) into simultaneous eigenspaces \[ D_K=\bigoplus_{\tau,z}M_{\tau,z} \] for \(E\) and \(u^2\). Each block is symplectic for \(b_u\), and \(u\) exchanges \(M_{\tau,z}\) and \(M_{\bar\tau,z}\). Choose a Lagrangian \(L_{\tau,z}\) in one block from each conjugate pair, then **define** \[ L_{\bar\tau,z}=uL_{\tau,z}. \] Their direct sum has all the required symmetry and dimension properties. The remaining freedom is the choice of those individual Lagrangians. **Why can these choices satisfy the Frobenius inequalities?** Consider a block \(M\) of dimension \(2m\). A general Lagrangian meets an \(a\)-dimensional subspace \(W\) in the smallest possible dimension: \[ \dim(L_M\cap W)=\max(0,a-m). \] For the subspaces \(W\) arising from \(E,u\)-stable subisocrystals, their Newton slope contribution is at least this number. Indeed, all slopes lie in \([0,1]\), and the symplectic pairing pairs slope \(\lambda\) with slope \(1-\lambda\). The total slope sum of \(M\) is therefore \(m\). Its quotient by \(W\), of dimension \(2m-a\), has slope sum at most \(2m-a\), so \[ \text{slope sum of }W \ge m-(2m-a)=a-m, \] and is also nonnegative. Thus **the smallest possible Hodge intersection is no larger than the available Newton slope sum**. Choosing minimal intersections block by block gives weak admissibility for all \(E,u\)-stable subobjects. Two further arguments make this rigorous. First, those stable subobjects suffice. For any invariant candidate \(L\), consider the defect \[ f(P)=t_H(P)-t_N(P). \] The subobjects maximizing this defect have a unique largest member. Because \(E^\times\) and \(u\) preserve the defect, they preserve that member. Therefore any violation of weak admissibility would already occur on an \(E,u\)-stable subobject. Second, “choose generally” must handle **all** subobjects at once over a finite extension. Each minimal-intersection condition is enforced by the nonvanishing of a matrix minor, and these minors have a uniform degree bound. The paper chooses coordinates \[ x_i=\theta^{N^i}, \] with \(N\) larger than that bound and \(\theta\) of sufficiently high algebraic degree. Distinct bounded-degree monomials become distinct powers of \(\theta\), so none of the relevant nonzero polynomials can vanish. This realizes all the required transversality conditions simultaneously over a finite extension. Finally comes a **separate geometric realization theorem**. Weak admissibility, with finite local-field descent, gives an admissible filtered crystalline module. The paper then uses local Shimura varieties and integral uniformization to obtain an actual abelian lift \(B\), with a marked quasi-isogeny \[ a:A_0^n\longrightarrow B_0, \qquad a^*\operatorname{Fil}^1H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}(B)=L^{\oplus n}. \] This transport also supplies the corresponding rational Hodge class. Because \(L\) preserves \(u\), the symmetric homomorphism defining \(D_u\) satisfies the filtration criterion for lifting. The projector onto the original factor and its \(E\)-action lift as well. Consequently, **the divisor and the relevant Weil class now coexist on the same auxiliary variety**, on a specified rational summand. 3. **Use the lifted divisor to recover the Weil classes by polynomial coefficient extraction.** On that rational summand of \(B\), call its first homology \(T\), the lifted divisor has the form \[ D=\sum_\tau D_\tau, \qquad D_\tau\in\bigwedge^2T_\tau^\vee, \] with every \(D_\tau\) nondegenerate. Since \(\dim T_\tau=2s\), \[ D_\tau^s\neq 0 \] and spans the determinant line \(\bigwedge^{2s}T_\tau^\vee\). These are exactly the lines making up the Weil-class space. The issue is that the individual \(D_\tau\) need not be rational divisor classes. The paper recovers their determinant lines using **rational operations on the whole divisor \(D\)**. For \(b\in E\), let \(\widetilde b\) act by \(b\) on \(T\) and by zero on the complementary summand. Pullback scales \(D_\tau\) by \(\tau(b)^2\), giving \[ (\widetilde b^*D)^s = \left(\sum_\tau \tau(b)^2D_\tau\right)^s. \] Every expression on the left is a rational divisor product. Now view the right side as a polynomial \[ P((x_\tau)_\tau)= \left(\sum_\tau x_\tau^2D_\tau\right)^s. \] Its coefficient of \(x_\tau^{2s}\) is precisely \(D_\tau^s\). Varying \(b\in E\) supplies a Zariski-dense set of evaluation points \((\tau(b))_\tau\). Therefore the linear span of these evaluations contains all the polynomial’s coefficient vectors, including every \(D_\tau^s\). This first proves the inclusion over a splitting field. To get **rational coefficients**, let \[ M=\operatorname{span}_{\mathbf Q} \{(\widetilde b^*D)^s:b\in E\}. \] The Weil-class space and \(M\) are both rational subspaces. Since the former is contained in the latter after extending scalars, it was already contained over \(\mathbf Q\). Thus the transported rational Weil class has an identity \[ \gamma_B=\sum_j q_j(\widetilde b_j^*D)^s, \qquad q_j\in\mathbf Q. \] Specialize this identity and pull back along the marked special-fiber map. The paper’s transport preserves the original class with the same rational normalization in every realization. Hence \(\gamma_0\) becomes a rational polynomial in divisors on \(A_0\), and its intersection with the original complementary divisor product is a rational intersection number. - Check the kernel argument - Work through the finite-extension trick - Illustrate coefficient extraction > The construction of the Hodge filtration should be equivalent to asking for a cocharacter \mu of a certain subgroup H of GSp\_E(D) that is in the conjugacy class in GSp\_E(D) of the cocharacter splitting a Lagrangian that has dimension s in each \tau-isotypic component such that the class of the F-isocrystal D in B(GSp\_E(D)) lifts to B(H,\mu). Can we reformulate the statement and the proof in this way?

**Yes. Your formulation captures the filtration theorem, and it gives a shorter conceptual proof.** The refinement is that \(u\) already specifies the reduction of structure group: the task is to prove that this particular reduction belongs to \(B(H,\{\mu_H\})\). I checked Kisin–Madapusi Pera–Shin. Their formulation of admissibility through the Newton and Kottwitz invariants is the appropriate framework here. [KMPS, §1.1.5](https://math.berkeley.edu/~swshin/HT.pdf#page=7) I’ll use the paper’s cohomological convention: Hodge weights \(0,1\), and the polarization pairing takes values in a line of Newton slope \(1\). 1. **The subgroup is the centralizer of \(u\).** Intrinsically on the crystalline space, put \[ G_D=\operatorname{GSp}_E(D,\beta), \qquad H_D=\operatorname{Cent}_{G_D}(u). \] Equivalently, \(H_D\) consists of the similitudes commuting with the algebra generated by \(E\) and \(u\). To write ordinary \(B(H)\)-notation, choose a compatible \(\mathbf Q_p\)-reference tensor space \[ (V,\beta_0,E,u_*)\otimes_{\mathbf Q_p}K_0 \simeq(D,\beta,E,u). \] Then define \[ G=\operatorname{GSp}_E(V,\beta_0), \qquad H=\operatorname{Cent}_G(u_*). \] Because Frobenius commutes with \(E\) and \(u\), the framed Frobenius is \[ \Phi=b_H\sigma,\qquad b_H\in H(K_0). \] Its image in \(B(G)\) is the original polarized \(E\)-isocrystal class. This reference-space choice deserves a descent lemma, but does not require the filtration theorem. The algebra \(\mathbf Q_p[E,u]\) is a product of quaternion algebras with orthogonal involution; the paper’s symplectic block decomposition gives even multiplicities. Taking suitable sums of their regular modules with compatible alternating forms constructs the reference space. The framing can also be chosen with finite local-field descent. Here \(G\) means a compatible rational form of the crystalline ambient group. Identifying it with a *previously fixed* Betti \(\mathbf Q_p\)-form would be an additional comparison. 2. **The structure of \(H\) identifies the required cocharacter class.** Set \[ B_u(x,y)=\beta(x,uy). \] As in the paper, decompose geometrically into simultaneous eigenspaces for \(E\) and \(u^2\): \[ D_\Omega=\bigoplus_{\tau,z}M_{\tau,z}. \] Each \(M_{\tau,z}\) is symplectic for \(B_u\), and \(u\) identifies it with \(M_{\bar\tau,z}\). If \(I\) indexes one block from each conjugate pair, then \[ H_\Omega\simeq \left\{(h_i)\in\prod_{i\in I}\operatorname{GSp}(M_i,B_u): c(h_i)\text{ is independent of }i\right\}. \] Thus \[ H_\Omega^{\mathrm{der}}\simeq\prod_i\operatorname{Sp}_{2m_i}, \qquad H/H^{\mathrm{der}}\simeq\mathbf G_m. \] Choose the usual Siegel cocharacter on each block: \[ \mu_i(t)= \begin{pmatrix} tI_{m_i}&0\\0&I_{m_i} \end{pmatrix}, \] and transport its action to the conjugate block using \(u\). These assemble into a cocharacter \(\mu_H\) of \(H_\Omega\), with common multiplier \(t\). All these choices form one \(H(\Omega)\)-conjugacy class. Its flag variety parametrizes precisely the \(E,u\)-stable polarized Lagrangians. Each has dimension \(s\) in every \(\tau\)-component, so its image in \(G\) is the prescribed balanced class \(\{\mu_G\}\). In fact, \(H\) automatically lies in the paper’s smaller determinant subgroup: \[ \det_E(h)=c(h)^s. \] On a block, \(\det(h_i)=c(h)^{m_i}\), and the \(m_i\)’s sum to \(s\) at each embedding. 3. **The filtration theorem becomes a direct admissibility calculation.** The reformulated assertion is \[ \boxed{ [b_H]\in B(H,\{\mu_H\}), \qquad \{\mu_H\}\longmapsto\{\mu_G\}. } \] There are two checks. **The Kottwitz invariant.** Since \(H^{\mathrm{der}}\) is simply connected and the common multiplier identifies \(H/H^{\mathrm{der}}\) with \(\mathbf G_m\), \[ \pi_1(H)_\Gamma\simeq\mathbf Z. \] Under this identification, the Kottwitz invariant is detected by the multiplier. The polarization gives \(v_p(c(b_H))=1\), while \(c\circ\mu_H(t)=t\). Therefore \[ \kappa_H(b_H)=1=\mu_H^\natural. \] There is no residual torsion obstruction. **The Newton inequality.** On a geometric symplectic block of dimension \(2m\), the Newton weights have the form \[ \lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_m,\, 1-\lambda_m,\ldots,1-\lambda_1, \qquad 1\ge\lambda_1\ge\cdots\ge\lambda_m\ge\tfrac12. \] The symmetry follows from \(B_u\); the bounds follow from \(D\) being the first crystalline cohomology of an abelian variety. The corresponding Hodge weights are \[ (1^m,0^m). \] Consequently the type-\(C_m\) dominance inequalities hold on every block: in the usual coordinates, the partial sums of \(1-\lambda_j\) are nonnegative. This proves \[ \nu_{b_H}\preceq\mu_H^\diamond, \] interpreting dominance through the quasi-split inner form when necessary. Notice that this uses the **Newton grading on the geometric blocks**. It does not require those individual blocks to be Frobenius-stable. 4. **The standard period-domain theorem now supplies the filtration.** For a general reductive group, nonemptiness of the weakly admissible locus is characterized by the acceptable set \(A(H,\{\mu_H\})\). The additional Kottwitz equality gives \(B(H,\{\mu_H\})\); here we have verified both conditions. Hence \[ \mathcal F(H,\{\mu_H\},b_H)^{\mathrm{wa}}\neq\varnothing. \] A point of this locus gives exactly the filtration sought in Theorem 4.1. This is the general nonemptiness criterion recorded in [Rapoport–Viehmann, Proposition 3.1](https://www.math.uni-bonn.de/people/rapoport/myalggeom/preprints/rapovieh130114_arxiv.pdf#page=11). The paper additionally asks for **finite local-field descent**. That can also be recovered without its explicit bounded-degree construction. With the finite-descent framing fixed, the flag variety is defined over a finite extension of \(\mathbf Q_p\). The weakly admissible locus is analytically open, and \(\overline{\mathbf Q}_p\)-points are dense in the \(C_p\)-points of this smooth flag variety. Choose such a point inside the nonempty open locus; its coordinates lie in one finite local field. Thus the paper’s transversality and bounded-degree arguments give an explicit proof of nonemptiness with descent. For the existence statement, they can be replaced by **the calculation of \(B(H,\{\mu_H\})\), the period-domain theorem, and openness plus density**. This is a reformulation of the filtration construction in Section 4. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} The qualification concerning KMPS is that their Proposition 1.1.13 and Corollary 1.1.15 concern passage to a **Levi subgroup**. Our \(H\), with its symplectic derived factors inside the \(E\)-linear ambient group, is generally not a Levi. So ambient \(G\)-admissibility alone does not justify the passage to \(H\); the blockwise calculation above supplies that step. [KMPS, §§1.1.13–1.1.15](https://math.berkeley.edu/~swshin/HT.pdf#page=10) The subsequent realization on an abelian variety, with its marked quasi-isogeny and simultaneous rational tensor transport, remains the separate content of Section 3. - Write the replacement theorem - Detail the rational framing - Check the ambient rational form > The subsequent realization on an abelian variety, with its marked quasi-isogeny and simultaneous rational tensor transport, remains the separate content of Section 3. Right, but this follows from a lifting theorem via the map from an appropriate ADL. This is how it's done in Kisin and Rong Zhou's work on mod-p points on Shimura varieties

**Yes—you’re right. My wording made that passage sound like an additional conceptual obstacle, when it is an application of the established lifting machinery.** Kisin’s Proposition 1.1.19 already starts with a **prescribed admissible filtration** of the correct cocharacter type and produces, after finite extension, a \(p\)-divisible-group lift and a marked quasi-isogeny whose lattice satisfies the affine Deligne–Lusztig condition. [Kisin, Proposition 1.1.19](https://people.math.harvard.edu/~kisin/dvifiles/lr.pdf#page=11) The proof of Kisin–Zhou’s Theorem 2.2.7 then follows precisely the route you describe: 1. Realize the admissible filtration by a \(p\)-divisible group. 2. Arrange an integral tensor-compatible frame after finite extension and isogeny. 3. Obtain \[ g\in X_G(\mu^{-1},b_x), \] and use the isogeny-class map \[ i_x:X_G(\mu^{-1},b_x)\longrightarrow I_x \] to replace \(x\) by \(i_x(g)\). 4. Apply their deformation criterion to lift this point to the Shimura variety. These are Theorem 2.2.5, Proposition 2.2.3, and their application on page 14. Moreover, \(I_x\) is defined using a single quasi-isogeny preserving the crystalline and all prime-to-\(p\) tensors. [Kisin–Zhou, §2.2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=12) In our situation, **\(H\) supplies the constrained admissible filtration, and the ambient \(G\) supplies the geometric lifting machinery**. Since the filtration preserves \(u\), the specified rational endomorphism lifts; its associated divisor lifts with it. There is no need for a new geometric realization principle specifically for this \(H\). So I would revise my assessment of the paper’s contribution: the argument specific to this problem is extracting \(u\) from nonvanishing, identifying the resulting symplectic structure that makes \(H\)-admissibility work, and using the lifted divisor to generate the Weil classes. Section 3 packages the existing lifting machinery and checks the markings and rational normalization needed for that application. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} - Condense the whole proof - Check the lifting hypotheses - Reassess the novelty > Can you condense all of section 3 following this?

Here is a condensed replacement for Section 3, retaining the proposition, lemma, and corollary numbering. The prescribed-filtration argument is extracted from the proof of [Kisin–Zhou, Theorem 2.2.7](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=13), using their deformation criterion and ADL isogeny-class map. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Downloads/paper.pdf" purpose="source"} **3 Transport through Hodge-type integral models** We work up to isogeny and use the fixed Betti trivialization of the Tate line. If \(V=H_1(A(\mathbf C),\mathbf Q)\) and \(c\) is the similitude character, a codimension-\(r\) class is represented by an alternating form \(\gamma\) of multiplier \(c^r\). Filtered isocrystal data have *finite local-field descent* if the isocrystal and its tensors descend to the maximal unramified subfield \(L_0\) of a finite extension \(L/\mathbf Q_p\), and the filtration descends to \(L\). This does not require a tensor-preserving trivialization over \(L_0\). **Proposition 3.1 (Transport).** Let \(A/\overline{\mathbf Q}\) be a positive-dimensional abelian variety with good reduction at \(w\). Suppose \[ (G,X)\hookrightarrow(\operatorname{GSp}(V,\psi),X_{\mathrm{Siegel}}) \] is a Hodge embedding, with \(G\) connected reductive, containing the Hodge homomorphism of \(A\). Let \(\gamma\) be a rational Hodge class of codimension \(r\) whose alternating form has multiplier \(c^r\) under \(G\). There exist \(n\geq1\), a good-reduction abelian variety \(B\), a rational Hodge class \(\kappa\) on \(B\), and a quasi-isogeny \[ a:A_0^n\longrightarrow B_0 \] such that, for the first-factor inclusion \(j:A_0\to A_0^n\), \[ (aj)^*\kappa_0=\gamma_0. \] This equality holds simultaneously in every prime-to-\(p\) realization and in crystalline cohomology extended to \(C_w\). Either further specification can be imposed: 1. \(B/\overline{\mathbf Q}\) is of CM type. 2. Given a weakly admissible filtration \(F_A\) in degrees \(0,1\) on \[ D_A=H^1_{\mathrm{cris}}(A_0/W(\mathbf F))[1/p], \] with finite local-field descent together with the specialized \(G\)-tensors, and geometrically belonging to the \(G\)-orbit of the original Hodge filtration, one can choose \(B/K\), for a finite extension \(K/K_0\) inside \(C_w\), with \[ a^*\operatorname{Fil}^1H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}(B/K) =(F_A^1)^{\oplus n}. \] The latter equality is understood after a common finite extension and crystalline–de Rham comparison. In the second case, Hodge classes are taken through a complex embedding extending the fixed embedding of \(\overline{\mathbf Q}\); their realizations below are supplied by the canonical tensor sections and the polarization. **Lemma 3.2 (Auxiliary Hodge datum).** There exist a totally real field \(P\), a Hodge datum \((J,X_J)\), and an adapted Hodge embedding \[ (J,X_J)\hookrightarrow\operatorname{GSp}(W,\psi_W), \] where \[ J= \bigl(\operatorname{Res}_{P/\mathbf Q}G_P\bigr) \times_{\operatorname{Res}_{P/\mathbf Q}\mathbf G_m}\mathbf G_m, \qquad W\simeq(V\otimes_{\mathbf Q}P)^{\oplus m}. \] The diagonal map \(G\to J\) induces a map of Shimura data. Moreover, \(J_{\mathbf Q_p}\) is quasi-split and admits a full connected stabilizer \(\mathcal J\) making the datum strongly admissible, with an adapted self-dual lattice in \(W_{\mathbf Q_p}\). These assertions hold also at \(p=2\). *Proof.* Choose \(P\) totally real with all completions above \(p\) splitting \(G\), by polynomial approximation and Krasner’s lemma. The Hodge cocharacter makes \(c\) primitive on \(G^{\mathrm{ab}}\), so \(\ker c\), and hence \(J\), is connected reductive. The trace polarization on \(V\otimes P\) and the diagonal Hodge homomorphism give the required Hodge datum. The local conditions follow by the construction of [KZ25b, Proposition 5.3.8]: the derived group is a restriction of split groups; the relevant tori are products of \(\mathbf G_m\) and induced tori; their inertia coinvariants are torsion-free; and the relative root systems are reduced. Thus the chosen full stabilizer is connected and the datum is strongly admissible. Apply [KZ25b, Proposition 2.1.9] to obtain the adapted embedding. Its construction takes multiplicities and twisted duals of \(V\otimes P\). Since \[ (V\otimes P)^\vee\otimes c\simeq V\otimes P, \] the resulting representation has the asserted form. \(\square\) Choose neat prime-to-\(p\) level and let \(\mathscr S\) be the resulting integral model. Every rational \(J\)-invariant tensor has compatible canonical realizations: evaluate it in the torsors of frames preserving the defining tensors. This is independent of the frame and commutes with comparisons and tensor-preserving quasi-isogenies. After clearing denominators, such tensors may be added to the integral defining family without changing its stabilizer. **Lemma 3.3 (Realization of an admissible filtration).** Let \(x\in\mathscr S(\mathbf F)\) have a characteristic-zero lift, and write \[ D_x=H^1_{\mathrm{cris}}(C_x/W(\mathbf F))[1/p]. \] Suppose \(F\) is an admissible filtration on \(D_x\), defined over a finite extension of \(K_0\), and geometrically of the cocharacter type prescribed by \(X_J\). After a finite extension, there exist a lift \(B\) of a point \(y\) in the tensor isogeny class of \(x\), and a quasi-isogeny \[ b:C_x\longrightarrow B_0 \] preserving the defining tensors in all realizations, such that \[ b^*\operatorname{Fil}^1H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}(B)=F^1. \] Weak admissibility suffices when the filtered isocrystal and its tensors have finite local-field descent. *Proof.* Apply the lifting argument in the proof of [KZ25b, Theorem 2.2.7], starting with \(F\). Admissibility produces a marked \(p\)-divisible group. Comparison with an existing lift, followed by a finite extension and an isogeny, equips it with the required integral tensor frames. Its specialization determines a point \[ g\in X_J(\mu^{-1},b_x), \] using the conventions of loc. cit. The isogeny-class map of [KZ25b, Theorem 2.2.5] gives \(y=i_x(g)\), with its tensor-preserving abelian quasi-isogeny. The deformation criterion [KZ25b, Proposition 2.2.3] realizes the \(p\)-divisible deformation as a lift of \(y\). The crystalline marking throughout this construction identifies its Hodge filtration with the prescribed \(F\). Under finite local-field descent, Colmez–Fontaine applied to the descended data supplies admissibility. \(\square\) *Proof of Proposition 3.1.* Apply Lemma 3.2 and put \(n=m[P:\mathbf Q]\). Choose a basis of \(P\) beginning with \(1\). At the diagonal Hodge point, the identification \(W\simeq V^{\oplus n}\) identifies the first factor with \[ v\longmapsto(v\otimes1,0,\ldots,0). \] The corresponding abelian variety \(C\) therefore admits a rational isogeny \(f:A^n\to C\) realizing this identification. The point is defined over \(\overline{\mathbf Q}\), since its Siegel image is and the Hodge embedding is finite onto its image. Good reduction follows from the isogeny to \(A^n\); after finite extension, the point extends to \(\mathscr S\). Write \(x\) for its reduction and \[ f_0:A_0^n\longrightarrow C_x \] for the specialized quasi-isogeny. Extend \(\gamma\) \(P\)-multilinearly and set \[ \eta=\operatorname{Tr}_{P/\mathbf Q}(\gamma_P) \circ\operatorname{pr}_1^{\otimes 2r}. \] For \(r=0\), use the scalar trace. The common-multiplier condition makes \(\eta\) an alternating form of multiplier \(c^r\), and \[ j^*f^*\eta_C=[P:\mathbf Q]\gamma. \] Introduce the untwisted \(J\)-invariant tensors \[ u_\psi=\psi_W\otimes\psi_W^{-1}, \qquad u_\eta=\eta\otimes(\psi_W^{-1})^{\otimes r}. \] They have the compatible realizations described above. The full finite family of crystalline structure tensors has finite local-field descent: choose a number-field model of the initial point and apply \(D_{\mathrm{cris}}\) to its canonical étale tensors at a finite local completion. The marking \(f_0\) also descends after finite extension. Taking a compositum with the descent field of \(F_A\) therefore gives a common field of descent for all the prescribed data. For the CM alternative, [KZ25b, Theorem 2.2.7] gives \(y\) in the tensor isogeny class of \(x\), a special-point lift \(B/\overline{\mathbf Q}\), and a tensor-preserving quasi-isogeny \(b:C_x\to B_0\). For the prescribed-filtration alternative, transport \(F_A^{\oplus n}\) to \(D_x\) through \(f_0^*\). It is weakly admissible, has finite local-field descent, and belongs to the required \(J\)-cocharacter orbit because \(G\) acts diagonally on \(W\). Lemma 3.3 supplies \(B\) and \(b\) with that marked filtration. Set \(a=bf_0\) in either case. It remains to recover the twisted class with one rational normalization. Choose rational polarizations \(\theta_C,\theta_B\) corresponding to \(\psi_W\), and put \[ \theta_*=f_0^*\theta_{C,0}, \qquad N=n\dim A. \] Preservation of \(u_\psi\) gives, in each realization \(\nu\), \[ a^*\theta_{B,0}=\lambda_\nu\theta_*. \] Since \(\theta_*\) is ample, intersection with \(\theta_*^{N-1}\) shows that every \(\lambda_\nu\) equals the same rational number \[ \lambda= \frac{\deg\!\left(a^*\theta_{B,0}\cdot\theta_*^{N-1}\right)} {\deg(\theta_*^N)} \in\mathbf Q^\times. \] Preservation of \(u_\eta\) consequently gives \[ a^*\eta_{B,0}=\lambda^r f_0^*\eta_{C,0} \] in all realizations. Thus \[ \kappa=\frac{\lambda^{-r}}{[P:\mathbf Q]}\eta_B \] satisfies \((aj)^*\kappa_0=\gamma_0\). For an arbitrary local lift, the canonical realization of \(u_\eta\), together with the algebraic polarization, defines the realizations of \(\eta_B\) and \(\kappa\). Comparisons preserve these constructions, so rational identities expressing these classes through divisor operations specialize with the same coefficients in every realization. For the CM lift, these coincide with the usual absolute-Hodge realizations. \(\square\) **Corollary 3.4 (CM transport of a Hodge class).** Every rational Hodge class \(\gamma\) on a positive-dimensional \(A/\overline{\mathbf Q}\) with good reduction at \(w\) admits the CM transport of Proposition 3.1: \[ \gamma_0=(aj)^*\kappa_0 \] simultaneously in all prime-to-\(p\) realizations and in crystalline cohomology extended to \(C_w\). *Proof.* Take \(G=\operatorname{MT}(H_1(A(\mathbf C),\mathbf Q))\). Its Hodge datum is of Hodge type, and \(\gamma\), with its Tate twist, is \(G\)-invariant. Apply Proposition 3.1(1). \(\square\) - Produce LaTeX - Condense Section 4 - Check downstream uses > Produce the latex for this please

**Yes, provided we have actually constructed that smaller Shimura variety and the mod-\(p\) point with the required tensors.** A point on its flat integral model then has a characteristic-zero lift, after extending the valuation field, and the defining tensors remain Hodge tensors. In our reformulation, \(H\) initially exists as a **local group**, the centralizer of \(u\) in the isocrystal. We have not yet identified it with a global Shimura datum. The argument we used instead works inside the existing global \(J\)-Shimura variety: \[ \text{\(H\)-compatible admissible filtration }F \;\longrightarrow\; g\in X_J(\mu^{-1},b_x) \;\longrightarrow\; y=i_x(g) \;\longrightarrow\; \widetilde y. \] The last lift satisfies \[ b^*\operatorname{Fil}^1H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}(B)=F^1, \] with the quasi-isogeny \(b\) preserving the original tensors. This is the prescribed-filtration part of the [Kisin–Zhou lifting argument](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=14). Thus your description would be literally correct if we globalized \(H\) and established the corresponding mod-\(p\) point. The current proof obtains the required deformation through the local tensor condition. Merely taking an arbitrary lift in the \(J\)-Shimura variety would preserve its defining tensors, but need not lift the additional endomorphism \(u\); that is what choosing the \(H\)-compatible filtration ensures. > This is a general argument though: Any time you have a p-adic reductive subgroup like this you can algebraize it to a group over Q via a lifting of this kind

> Here's a different argument: Fix a Shimura datum (J,X\_J) of Hodge type and a mod-p point x on the associated Shimura variety. Then for any self-quasi-isogeny u of x that respects J-structure, there is a CM lift to char 0 of x in the Shimura variety to which u lifts. If J is unramified at p, then this follows directly from the lifting condition in Kisin's mod-p points paper: Choose a maximal torus of the p-adic automorphism group I\_x containing u, and it follows from the ADL lifting argument that there exists a CM lifting to char 0 with Mumford-Tate group contained in T, to which u lifts. Presumably the same argument also works when not unramified via the refinements used by Kisin-Zhou

> > Yeah you need to replace x within its isogeny class. Should have said that.
Yes. With replacement within the isogeny class understood, **this is exactly Kisin–Zhou’s Theorem 2.2.7**, and they apply it to an individual self-quasi-isogeny in the proof of Proposition 2.3.3. The theorem covers strongly admissible Hodge-type data with \(J_{\mathbf Q_p}\) quasi-split and neat prime-to-\(p\) level, including ramified cases. [Kisin–Zhou, §§2.2–2.3](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=13) More precisely, use the **\(\mathbf Q\)-group** \(I_x\) of tensor-preserving self-quasi-isogenies and choose a maximal \(\mathbf Q\)-torus \[ u\in T(\mathbf Q)\subset I_x(\mathbf Q). \] The lifting theorem gives a tensor-preserving quasi-isogeny \(a:A_x\to A_y\) and a CM lift \(B\) of \(A_y\) to which the transported \(T\)-action lifts. Consequently, \[ \operatorname{MT}(B)\subset T, \qquad \operatorname{sp}(\widetilde u)=aua^{-1}. \] Here torus containment is available for these polarized rational quasi-isogenies: \(u^\dagger u\) is a positive rational scalar, so Rosati positivity implies semisimplicity. **This does remove my proposed need to globalize a smaller group beforehand:** the lifted action supplies rational Betti data, and its centralizer can then be formed over \(\mathbf Q\). For applying this directly to the paper, the remaining issue is the hypothesis that \(u\) respects the chosen \(J\)-structure. Its particular divisor endomorphism satisfies \[ ue=\bar e\,u,\qquad u^\dagger=u. \] Thus it is generally neither \(E\)-linear nor a polarization similitude, so it is not itself an element of \(I_x\) for the paper’s \(E\)-linear Shimura datum. Your general lifting argument is valid; using it to replace the filtration construction requires first encoding that endomorphism in a tensor-preserving group action. > But it is an element of I\_x for *some* choice of Shimura datum
2 previous messages > I’ll check whether changing the Shimura datum can make this endomorphism a tensor-preserving quasi-isogeny. > >
Searched the web > > Searched the web for `'polarization' in https://people.math.harvard.edu/~kisin/dvifiles/lr.pdf` > >
**Not in general for the same \(u\) acting on the same abelian variety.** Every Hodge-type datum supplies a polarization, and membership in \(I_x(\mathbf Q)\) requires preserving that polarization up to a rational scalar. This restriction remains when the datum changes. [Kisin, §2.1](https://people.math.harvard.edu/~kisin/dvifiles/lr.pdf#page=31) For the paper’s Rosati-symmetric \(u\), this gives a concrete obstruction. Its eigenvalues are real. If some other polarization made it a similitude, \[ u^{\dagger'}u=c, \] positivity would force every eigenvalue to have absolute value \(\sqrt c\). Consequently, \[ u^2=c\,\mathrm{id}. \] The paper does not assume this. For example, take a good reduction \(A_0=C_0^4\) of a CM elliptic curve power, with \[ i_E= \begin{pmatrix}iI_2&0\\0&-iI_2\end{pmatrix}, \qquad u= \begin{pmatrix}0&D\\D&0\end{pmatrix}, \qquad D=\operatorname{diag}(1,2). \] Then \(u^\dagger=u\) and \(ui_E=-i_Eu\), exactly as required, but its eigenvalues are \(\pm1,\pm2\). No polarization makes this \(u\) a similitude. **This example already has a CM lift preserving \(u\).** So the distinction matters: one can seek a Shimura datum whose *endomorphism tensors include \(u\)*, making its group centralize \(u\). That does not require \(u\) itself to belong to \(I_x\). Your proposed CM-lifting strategy may therefore admit such a reformulation, but the step “choose a torus in \(I_x\) containing \(u\)” cannot follow solely from changing the datum. > Yes that's a valid objection. Is u even a semisimple element of the group of F-linear endomorphisms of D where F is the totally real subfield of F?
2 previous messages > I take \(F\) to mean \(E^+\), the totally real subfield of \(E\). I’ll check the semisimplicity argument using Rosati positivity. > >
Searched the web > > Searched the web for `https://www.jmilne.org/math/xnotes/AVs.pdf` > >
Yes—taking \(F=E^+\), **\(u\) is \(F\)-linear and semisimple**. First, \[ ue=\bar e\,u \] implies that \(u\) commutes with \(F\). For semisimplicity, use that \(u\) comes from a rational endomorphism of \(A_0\) and satisfies \(u^\dagger=u\). Rosati positivity makes \[ \langle a,b\rangle=\operatorname{Tr}(ab^\dagger) \] a positive-definite form on \(\operatorname{End}^0(A_0)\otimes_{\mathbf Q}\mathbf R\). [Milne, Theorem 17.3](https://www.jmilne.org/math/xnotes/AVs.pdf#page=35) Left multiplication by \(u\) is self-adjoint: \[ \langle ua,b\rangle =\operatorname{Tr}(uab^\dagger) =\operatorname{Tr}(ab^\dagger u) =\langle a,ub\rangle. \] It therefore has a squarefree minimal polynomial with real roots. The regular representation is faithful, so this is also the minimal polynomial of \(u\). Consequently its crystalline realization is semisimple, giving \[ u\in\operatorname{GL}_{F\otimes_{\mathbf Q}K_0}(D) \] as a semisimple element when \(u\) is invertible. In fact, because \(F\) and \(u\) commute and are fixed by Rosati, **\(F[u]\) is a product of totally real number fields**. Moreover, invertibility makes \(u^2\) totally positive in this algebra. The global Rosati positivity is essential to this reasoning; self-adjointness for the alternating pairing on an abstract \(p\)-adic isocrystal alone would not imply semisimplicity. > So we need to arrange for a condition on the torus T of I\_x that will make sure that u lifts to the corresponding CM lift. For instance, u is in a maximal torus of the F-linear automorphisms of D. Is it possible to choose a torus T that contains a regular element of the F-linear automorphisms of D that commutes with u?
2 previous messages > I’ll check whether regularity would force the CM Hodge cocharacter to commute with \(u\), and whether a torus in \(I_x\) can satisfy that condition. > >
Searched the web > > Searched the web for `https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1` > >
**That regularity condition is sufficient. It can be achieved for the \(F\)-linear PEL datum, but not while retaining the original \(E\)-linear structure.** Indeed, suppose \(t\in T\) is regular semisimple in \(\operatorname{GL}_F(D)\) and commutes with \(u\). Then \[ T,\ u\ \subset Z_{\operatorname{GL}_F(D)}(t), \] and this centralizer is a torus, hence commutative. Thus \(u\) commutes with \(T\). The Hodge cocharacter \(\mu_T\) constructed in the CM-lifting argument factors through \(T\), so \[ [u,\mu_T]=0. \] Consequently \(u\) preserves the marked Hodge filtration and lifts as an endomorphism. In fact, **\(T\subset Z(u)\) is already sufficient; regularity is a way to ensure it.** The marked lift comes from the same [Kisin–Zhou argument](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=14). For existence, let \(I_x^F\) denote the group for the PEL datum remembering \(F\) and the polarization. One can choose \[ T\subset Z_{I_x^F}(u)^\circ \] that is maximal in \(I_x^F\). The reason is Rosati positivity: over \(\mathbf R\), the isometry factors of \(I_x^F\) are compact unitary or quaternionic unitary groups. A self-adjoint \(u\) decomposes their defining modules orthogonally, and its centralizer has the **same rank**. A maximal \(\mathbf Q\)-torus of that centralizer therefore works. Since \(I_x^F\) and the ambient \(F\)-linear symplectic similitude group have equal rank, this \(T\) is maximal in the ambient group under crystalline realization. Its standard \(F\)-linear representation has distinct weights, so a generic element of \(T\) is regular semisimple in \(\operatorname{GL}_F(D)\). This gives the CM lift preserving \(F\) and \(u\), subject to the integral-model hypotheses already discussed. The obstruction to using this **with the original \(E\)-linear datum** is particularly transparent. An element \(t\in I_x^E\) commutes with \(E\). If it also commuted with \(u\) and were regular in \(\operatorname{GL}_F(D)\), its commutative centralizer would contain both \(E^\times\) and \(u\). That would force \[ [u,E]=0, \] contradicting \(ue=\bar e\,u\). So this gives a route to lifting \(u\); preserving the \(E\)-action and the Weil tensors simultaneously is the additional condition it does not yet supply. > Okay, so the regular element this is not the correct approach, but this still doesn't say that some torus T wouldn't work. In fact, given that the proof in the end does seem to give a CM lifting with this property, it must indirectly be constructing the torus T right?

**Yes. My previous conditions were stronger than necessary.** What must commute with \(u\) is the **chosen Hodge cocharacter**, not necessarily the whole torus \(T\). Suppose \(B\) is a CM lift preserving \(u\) and the original tensors. Put \(S=\operatorname{MT}(B)\). Because \(S\) is a torus, it acts by rational endomorphisms of \(B\); specialization and the isogeny marking give \[ S\subset I_x,\qquad [S,u]=0. \] Choose a maximal \(\mathbf Q\)-torus \(T\subset I_x\) containing \(S\). Then \[ \mu_B:\mathbf G_m\longrightarrow S_{\overline{\mathbf Q}_p} \subset T_{\overline{\mathbf Q}_p}, \qquad [\mu_B,u]=0. \] Thus the desired maximal torus exists retrospectively. It need not centralize \(u\): the cocharacter can lie in a proper subtorus that does. The appropriate construction problem is therefore to find a pair \[ (T,\mu_T),\qquad T\subset I_x\text{ maximal},\quad \mu_T\in\{\mu_J\},\quad [\mu_T,u]=0, \] satisfying the required Frobenius admissibility condition. Kisin–Zhou construct such torus–cocharacter pairs without the final commutation constraint; arranging that constraint is the additional problem here. [Proof of Theorem 2.2.7](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=13) I should also keep one distinction in the paper explicit: **its prescribed-filtration branch produces a lift preserving \(u\), but does not assert that this lift is CM.** Its CM branch is a separate alternative. So the proof directly constructs the admissible \(u\)-compatible filtration; a CM refinement would indeed supply the torus–cocharacter pair you describe. The failure of the regular-element approach gives no obstruction to that refinement. > Btw why are we talking about the one endomorphism u when the proposition is about the codimension r class \gamma? We have drifted from **Proposition 3.1 itself** to its later application. In Proposition 3.1, \(\gamma\) is handled as a **\(G\)-invariant tensor after Tate twisting**. One chooses a Hodge-type datum carrying that tensor—for example using the Mumford–Tate group—and the tensor-preserving isogeny and lift transport \(\gamma\). **No auxiliary endomorphism \(u\) is needed for the CM-transport assertion.** Your maximal-torus argument applies directly there, with the polarization normalization accounting for the Tate twist. The endomorphism \(u\) enters later, in Sections 4–5. There, \(\gamma\) is a Weil class, and the argument seeks a lift on which it can be expressed using divisors. The auxiliary \(u\) comes from a divisor that must also lift. Its role is: \[ u\text{-stable Hodge filtration} \;\Longrightarrow\; \text{the auxiliary divisor lifts}, \] while membership of that filtration in the prescribed \(G\)-orbit ensures that \(\gamma\) remains a Hodge tensor. The resulting characteristic-zero linear algebra expresses the transported \(\gamma\) as a rational combination of divisor products. So there are two requirements in that application: **transport \(\gamma\)** and **lift the auxiliary divisor**. We started discussing \(u\) to address the second. An arbitrary codimension-\(r\) class \(\gamma\) is not being encoded by a single endomorphism. > Now I'm actually confused about what the point of Section 3 is at all

**Section 3 lets the proof change the characteristic-zero lift while retaining the specified Hodge class on the special fiber.** I obscured this by mixing its two uses. Starting with \((A,\gamma)\), it produces another abelian variety \(B\), a rational Hodge class \(\kappa\), and a marked quasi-isogeny such that \[ \gamma_0=(aj)^*\kappa_0 \] in every realization. It offers two ways to choose \(B\), used at different stages: 1. **Choose \(B\) to be CM.** This reduces the original problem about arbitrary Hodge classes to CM Hodge classes. Section 6 then reduces those to balanced Weil classes. 2. **Choose \(B\) to have a prescribed admissible filtration.** Later, for a balanced Weil class, Section 4 constructs a filtration that also preserves the auxiliary divisor endomorphism \(u\). Section 3 realizes that filtration on an abelian variety while retaining the Weil class. Section 5 then lifts the divisor and proves the required rational divisor identity. **This second \(B\) need not be CM.** Thus the two applications serve different purposes: \[ \text{arbitrary Hodge class} \;\xrightarrow{\text{CM transport}}\; \text{reduction to Weil classes}, \] and subsequently \[ \text{useful admissible filtration} \;\xrightarrow{\text{prescribed-filtration transport}}\; \text{a lift carrying both the Weil class and the divisor}. \] The geometric machinery behind Section 3 is the standard Kisin–Zhou machinery you identified. Its additional work is to accommodate the given representation and class—allowing powers of \(A\)—and normalize the transport so that **one rational equality holds across all realizations**. It does not construct \(u\), find the filtration, or establish the divisor identity. Our discussion of a **CM lift also preserving \(u\)** was pursuing a stronger replacement for the second application. The paper itself avoids needing that stronger statement. > This is very confusing organization Yes—and I followed that organization too closely. It puts a large general-purpose lifting proposition before explaining its two different jobs, while postponing the initial reduction until Section 6. I would organize the paper in the actual order of the argument: 1. **Reduce the main theorem to balanced Weil classes.** First use CM transport, then the decomposition of CM Hodge classes into Weil classes. 2. **State the decisive dichotomy for Weil classes.** Either the relevant divisor pairings vanish, or there is an invertible \(u\). Explain immediately why the latter case reduces to lifting the Weil class and its auxiliary divisor together. 3. **Prove that simultaneous lifting statement.** Construct the \(u\)-compatible admissible filtration, then apply the standard Shimura realization theorem. 4. **Extract the rational divisor identity and specialize it.** This finishes the nonvanishing branch and hence the theorem. **The current Section 3 should be split apart.** Its CM assertion belongs in step 1; its prescribed-filtration assertion belongs in step 3. The shared auxiliary-embedding and normalization arguments can be a short technical lemma or appendix. Most importantly, the main text should foreground **“lift this Weil class together with this divisor.”** The general transport proposition is supporting machinery, and presenting it first hides the mathematical problem it solves. > **Extract the rational divisor identity and specialize it.** This finishes the nonvanishing branch and hence the theorem. What's the work here? Aren't we done once we have Step 3?

**Essentially yes—the remaining argument is a short linear-algebra lemma, not another substantial construction.** I overstated it by presenting it as a separate major stage. The small distinction is that Step 3 lifts the Weil class together with **one auxiliary nondegenerate divisor**, whereas the theorem concerns pairing with arbitrary complementary divisor products. On the relevant lifted factor, the auxiliary divisor has the form \[ \delta=\sum_\tau\delta_\tau, \] where \(\delta_\tau\) is nondegenerate on the \(2s\)-dimensional \(\tau\)-eigenspace. Consequently, \(\delta_\tau^s\) spans that eigenspace’s determinant line. For \(b\in E\), \[ (b^*\delta)^s =\left(\sum_\tau\tau(b)^2\delta_\tau\right)^s. \] Coefficient extraction, followed by rational descent, therefore shows that every rational Weil class \(w\) is \[ w=\sum_i q_i(b_i^*\delta)^s, \qquad q_i\in\mathbf Q,\quad b_i\in E. \] That is Lemma 5.4. Specializing this identity and pulling back through the marking makes the original specialized Weil class a rational polynomial in divisors. Its pairing with **any** complementary divisor product is then a rational intersection number, identical in every realization. If Step 3 instead lifted the class together with all the divisors occurring in the desired pairing, rationality would follow immediately from the rational Betti pairing. The auxiliary-divisor argument achieves the conclusion for all pairings at once. Editorially, this deserves a short lemma stated before the lifting construction, so the reader knows from the outset: **once the simultaneous lift exists, the proof is finished.** > On the relevant lifted factor, the auxiliary divisor has the form > \\[ \delta=\sum\_\tau\delta\_\tau, \\] > where \\(\delta\_\tau\\) is nondegenerate on the \\(2s\\)-dimensional \\(\tau\\)-eigenspace.

Can you expand on this? How does lifting one nongenerate divisor tell us something about products of divisors?
1 previous message > I’ll separate the two ingredients: the lifted \(E\)-action gives more divisors by pullback, and interpolation isolates the products needed for the Weil classes.
**We are lifting one divisor together with the \(E\)-action.** That action gives many rational divisor classes: \[ \delta_b=b^*\delta,\qquad b\in E. \] Their cup products are therefore products of divisors. The special shape of \(\delta\) lets us combine those products to obtain every Weil class. After splitting \(E\), write \[ V=\bigoplus_\tau V_\tau,\qquad \delta=\sum_\tau\delta_\tau, \quad \delta_\tau\in\bigwedge^2V_\tau^\vee. \] The Weil-class space is the sum of the determinant lines \[ \bigoplus_\tau\bigwedge^{2s}V_\tau^\vee. \] Since \(\delta_\tau\) is nondegenerate on the \(2s\)-dimensional space \(V_\tau\), its top power \(\delta_\tau^s\) is nonzero and spans that determinant line. Thus we need to obtain the **pure powers** \(\delta_\tau^s\) from products of rational divisors. The difficulty is that \(\delta_\tau\) itself need not be a rational divisor class. The \(E\)-action lets us separate its contribution. For a concrete example, take \(E=\mathbf Q(i)\) and \(s=2\). Write \[ \delta=\alpha+\beta \] for the components at the two embeddings. Pulling back by the endomorphism \(1+i\) gives another rational divisor class \[ \epsilon=(1+i)^*\delta =(1+i)^2\alpha+(1-i)^2\beta =2i(\alpha-\beta). \] Now calculate: \[ \delta^2=\alpha^2+2\alpha\beta+\beta^2, \qquad \epsilon^2=-4\alpha^2+8\alpha\beta-4\beta^2. \] Consequently, \[ \alpha^2+\beta^2 =\frac12\delta^2-\frac18\epsilon^2, \qquad i(\alpha^2-\beta^2)=\frac12\delta\epsilon. \] The two left-hand sides form a rational basis of the Weil-class space: conjugation exchanges \(\alpha,\beta\) and sends \(i\) to \(-i\). Both are therefore **rational combinations of products of the two rational divisors \(\delta,\epsilon\)**. The combinations cancel the unwanted mixed term \(\alpha\beta\). The general coefficient-extraction argument performs the same cancellation. Consider \[ P((x_\tau)_\tau) =\left(\sum_\tau x_\tau^2\delta_\tau\right)^s. \] For \(x_\tau=\tau(b)\), its value is the divisor product \((b^*\delta)^s\). Its coefficient of \(x_\tau^{2s}\) is precisely \(\delta_\tau^s\). The elementary interpolation fact being used is: > The linear span of the values of a polynomial on a Zariski-dense set contains all its coefficients. Here \(E\), viewed as a rational vector space, has Zariski-dense rational points. After extending to a splitting field, the functions \(b\mapsto\tau(b)\) are independent linear coordinates. Hence the span of the values \((b^*\delta)^s\) contains all the \(\delta_\tau^s\) after scalar extension. Finally, let \[ M=\operatorname{span}_{\mathbf Q}\{(b^*\delta)^s:b\in E\}. \] Both \(M\) and the Weil-class space \(W_E\) are rational subspaces. The inclusion \[ W_E\otimes\Omega\subset M\otimes\Omega \] therefore implies \(W_E\subset M\). This gives the claimed identity with rational coefficients. So the hypotheses doing the work are **the lifted \(E\)-action, the absence of cross terms in \(\delta\), and componentwise nondegeneracy**. An arbitrary nondegenerate divisor would not suffice. > I've kind of lost track of what this is supposed to establish I’ve let the supporting lemmas obscure the target. **The goal is to prove that a specialized Hodge class has a single rational intersection number with any complementary product of divisors, independent of the cohomology theory.** Precisely, start with a rational Hodge class \(\gamma\) of codimension \(r\) on a \(g\)-dimensional abelian variety \(A\). On its reduction \(A_0\), choose divisors \(D_1,\ldots,D_{g-r}\). The desired conclusion is \[ \operatorname{Tr}_{\nu}\!\left( \gamma_{0,\nu}\cup D_{1,\nu}\cup\cdots\cup D_{g-r,\nu} \right)=q\in\mathbf Q \] with **the same \(q\)** in every prime-to-\(p\) and crystalline realization. The difficulty is that these divisors on \(A_0\) need not lift to the original \(A\). Thus we cannot simply compute the pairing in rational Betti cohomology. The calculation we just discussed handles one branch of the proof: - Reduce the problem to **Weil classes**. - If their complementary divisor pairings all vanish, the desired rational number is \(0\). - Otherwise, construct the special divisor and a simultaneous lift. The coefficient-extraction lemma then shows that the lifted Weil class is a **rational polynomial in divisors**. - Specializing and pulling back gives the same rational divisor polynomial on the original special fiber. Pairing it with any other divisors is now an ordinary algebraic intersection number, hence rational and identical in every realization. So the purpose of that last calculation is to turn the problematic Hodge-class pairing into an intersection involving **only divisors**. The claim that the class itself becomes a divisor polynomial is an intermediate, stronger conclusion in the nonvanishing Weil-class branch—not the general statement the paper starts out trying to prove. > Otherwise, construct the special divisor and a simultaneous lift. The coefficient-extraction lemma then shows that the lifted Weil class is a **rational polynomial in divisors**. Can you formulate it so that this is clear?
1 previous message > I’ll state the lifting result with the divisor-polynomial conclusion included, so its role in the rationality proof is explicit.
Yes. I would make the **rational divisor identity the conclusion of the proposition**, with simultaneous lifting as its proof. **Proposition (A rational divisor identity for a specialized Weil class).** Let \(A/\overline{\mathbf Q}\) be an abelian variety of balanced Weil type for a CM field \(E\), with \[ \dim_E H_1(A(\mathbf C),\mathbf Q)=2s, \] and let \(\gamma\) be a rational Weil class of codimension \(s\). Suppose \(A\) has good reduction \(A_0\), and there exists \[ u\in\operatorname{End}^0(A_0)^\times, \qquad u^\dagger=u,\qquad ue=\bar e\,u\quad(e\in E). \] Let \(D_u\) be the rational divisor class corresponding to the alternating form \[ (x,y)\longmapsto\psi_0(x,uy). \] Then there exist \(b_1,\ldots,b_N\in E\) and \(q_1,\ldots,q_N\in\mathbf Q\) such that \[ \boxed{\displaystyle \gamma_{0,\nu} =\sum_{i=1}^N q_i\bigl(b_i^*D_{u,\nu}\bigr)^s } \] in every prime-to-\(p\) realization and in crystalline cohomology, with the same \(b_i\) and \(q_i\). In particular, every complementary divisor pairing of \(\gamma_0\) is a rational intersection number independent of the realization. *Proof.* The compatible-filtration construction and the marked lifting theorem produce, after taking the appropriate lifted rational factor, a good-reduction abelian variety \(C\) in characteristic zero carrying: - the lifted \(E\)-action; - a rational divisor class \(\delta\); - a rational Weil class \(\widetilde\gamma\); together with an \(E\)-equivariant quasi-isogeny \(f_0:A_0\to C_0\) satisfying \[ f_0^*\delta_0=D_u, \qquad f_0^*\widetilde\gamma_0=\gamma_0 \] simultaneously in all realizations. On the rational Betti cohomology of \(C\), the divisor \(\delta\) is supported separately on the \(E\)-eigenspaces and is nondegenerate on each. The coefficient-extraction lemma therefore gives \[ W_E^s(C) \subseteq \operatorname{span}_{\mathbf Q} \bigl\{(b^*\delta)^s:b\in E\bigr\}. \] Applying this to \(\widetilde\gamma\), we obtain \[ \widetilde\gamma=\sum_iq_i(b_i^*\delta)^s. \] Specialization and pullback by \(f_0\) give the asserted identity. Compatibility with divisor operations ensures that the coefficients remain the same in every realization. \(\square\) This formulation makes the purpose of lifting explicit: **it puts the Weil class and the special divisor into one rational Betti cohomology space.** The resulting polynomial identity has rational coefficients; those coefficients then work simultaneously after reduction. > Can you make this a readable PDF?

[LaTeX source](./output/latex/weil-divisor-identity.tex) > Okay so the dichotomy is either that the product is zero or that in fact the Weil class is a Lefschetz class! Yes—**after specialization**, and uniformly for the whole Weil-class space: - **Vanishing branch:** every specialized Weil class pairs to zero with every complementary product of divisors. - **Lefschetz branch:** every specialized Weil class is itself a rational polynomial in divisor classes, with the **same rational polynomial in every cohomological realization**. That makes the rationality conclusion immediate: the pairing is either zero or a rational algebraic intersection number. The crucial point is that the *specialized* class becomes Lefschetz; the original characteristic-zero Weil class need not be. The simultaneous lift supplies an auxiliary characteristic-zero realization where it is Lefschetz, and that divisor identity specializes back. > The coefficient extraction result is saying this: If \gamma is a Weil class on a polarized abelian variety A with E-action (with polarization compatible with conjugation on E) and u is an endomorphism of A with associated divisor D\_u, and if \gamma D\_u^r is non-zero for all r (within the appropriate dimension bound), then \gamma is a Lefschetz class

Yes—**provided the dimension bound includes the complementary top degree**. Writing \(g=\dim A\) and \(\gamma\in W_E^s(A)\), the sharper statement is \[ \gamma\cdot D_u^{\,g-s}\ne0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad W_E^s(A)\subseteq L^s(A), \] where \(L^s(A)\) is the rational span of products of \(s\) divisors. Thus **every Weil class is Lefschetz**. Nonvanishing for the smaller powers follows automatically from this top-degree nonvanishing. Strictly speaking, this combines two arguments: 1. **Nonzero pairing produces the special divisor.** The orthogonality argument produces an invertible Rosati-symmetric, \(E\)-antilinear endomorphism \(v\). Its divisor \(D_v\) is nondegenerate separately on every \(E\)-eigenspace. This \(v\) need not be your original \(u\). 2. **Coefficient extraction produces the Weil classes.** It gives \[ W_E^s(A)\subseteq \operatorname{span}_{\mathbf Q} \bigl\{(b^*D_v)^s:b\in E\bigr\}. \] These are rational products of divisors. These are the two mechanisms of Lemmas 5.3–5.4. [Paper, §5](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-September-23-2026/build/sections/04_weil.tex) On an already complex abelian variety, this argument needs **no auxiliary lifting**: the divisor and Weil class already inhabit the same rational Betti cohomology. > Are you saying that a Weil class that is not orthogonal to all the Lefschetz classes is itself a Lefschetz class? This should be immediate from the positive definiteness of the intersection pairing over C right?

Yes—the complex statement has a short orthogonal-projection proof. **Positivity together with the \(E\)-action suffices.** Positivity alone would only say that \(\gamma\) has a nonzero Lefschetz component. Write \(L^s\) for the degree-\(s\) Lefschetz classes and \(W=W_E^s(A)\). The argument is: 1. **Form the Lefschetz projector.** Hodge–Riemann, together with Lefschetz decomposition on the divisor algebra, gives a perfect pairing \[ L^s\times L^{g-s}\longrightarrow\mathbf Q. \] Consequently there is a rational projector \[ \pi_L:H^{2s}(A,\mathbf Q(s))\longrightarrow L^s \] characterized by \[ \langle\pi_L(x),\ell\rangle=\langle x,\ell\rangle \qquad(\ell\in L^{g-s}). \] The needed properties of the divisor algebra are standard. [Milne, *Lefschetz classes*](https://jmilne.org/math/articles/1999a.html) 2. **Use the \(E\)-action.** This projector commutes with \(E^\times\): both Lefschetz spaces are stable under pullback, and the adjoint of \(b^*\) is \(\deg(b)(b^{-1})^*\). 3. **Use the special nature of Weil classes.** The space \(W\) is an irreducible rational representation of \(\operatorname{Res}_{E/\mathbf Q}\mathbf G_m\), occurring with multiplicity one in \(H^{2s}\). Its weights are the Galois-conjugate characters \[ b\longmapsto\tau(b)^{2s}. \] Thus \(\pi_L\) preserves \(W\), and its restriction is either zero or the identity. Your nonorthogonality hypothesis excludes zero, so \[ W_E^s(A)\subseteq L^s(A). \] So yes: **over \(\mathbf C\), no special-divisor construction is needed for this implication.** The underlying all-or-nothing property of the Weil space is already explicit in [Moonen–Zarhin, §2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/alg-geom/9612017). > Okay so why do we need all this coefficient extraction stuff? If we lift the reduction of a Weil class to another char 0 lift, but now along with the endomorphism against which it pairs non-trivially, then it's automatically a Lefschetz class for the lift and hence one after specialization as well

**Yes. That argument replaces coefficient extraction.** My earlier explanation made that lemma sound indispensable; it isn’t. Suppose the simultaneous lift carries the \(E\)-action, a rational Weil class \(\widetilde\gamma\), and divisors \(\widetilde D,\widetilde\theta\), with \[ \left\langle\widetilde\gamma\, \widetilde D^{\,s}\widetilde\theta^{\,g-2s}\right\rangle\ne0. \] The characteristic-zero argument we just discussed implies that \(\widetilde\gamma\) is Lefschetz. Consequently, \[ \widetilde\gamma =\sum_i q_i\,D_{i1}\cdots D_{is}, \qquad q_i\in\mathbf Q, \] in rational Betti cohomology. Specializing this equality and pulling back through the marking gives a rational divisor expression for \(\gamma_0\), **with the same coefficients in every realization**. Nothing further needs to be extracted. Moreover, your approach can be made to fit the paper’s lifting construction. One can strengthen the argument of [Lemma 5.3](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-September-23-2026/build/sections/04_weil.tex) as follows: - Start with a nonzero pairing \(\langle\gamma_0D_1\cdots D_s\theta_0^{g-2s}\rangle\). - Project each divisor’s endomorphism onto its \(E\)-antilinear part. The eigenspace degree count preserves the **entire pairing**. - Polarization of this multilinear expression produces a rational \(u\) with \[ \langle\gamma_0D_u^s\theta_0^{g-2s}\rangle\ne0. \] The existing kernel argument makes this \(u\) invertible. The prescribed-filtration construction then lifts \(\gamma_0,E,u\), and the polarization together. Thus the substantive work is precisely **constructing a simultaneous rational lift that retains a nonzero pairing**. Your proposed characteristic-zero argument finishes the proof from there. > Right, so the key non-formal point is this lifting result. Everything else is a consequence of Kisin and Kisin-Zhou's CM lifting theorems as well as as Deligne and Milne's result on Hodge cycles on CM abelian varieties all being realizable from Weil classes

Yes—that is the right structural summary, **with simultaneous rational tensor transport included in the lifting statement**. The established inputs supply the reductions: - Kisin and Kisin–Zhou provide the CM-lifting machinery for transport to a CM abelian variety. [Kisin–Zhou, Theorem 2.2.7](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1) - The Deligne–André reduction, as presented by Milne, expresses CM Hodge classes as sums of pullbacks of Weil classes. [Milne, Theorem 1.39](https://www.jmilne.org/math/articles/SVp.pdf) The proof-specific issue is then: > Construct a lift preserving the \(E\)-action, polarization, suitable endomorphism \(u\), and the rational Weil class, with their nonzero pairing retained under one common marking in every realization. Its local content is the existence of the **balanced, weakly admissible, \(E\)- and \(u\)-stable filtration**. The Shimura-variety lifting machinery realizes that filtration. This auxiliary lift need not itself be CM. Once this simultaneous lift exists, the characteristic-zero Lefschetz projection argument gives a rational divisor expression, and specialization finishes the proof. Coefficient extraction is an explicit way to obtain that expression, but it is not an additional essential ingredient. > Here's a summary I wrote. Don't you think this would have been a better way to organize thiings? > > Actually, the main idea is quite simple. Here is the summary: > > 1. Using Kisin-Zhou's CM lifting results for Hodge type Shimura varieties, we can assume that our mod-p Hodge cycle is a reduction of one on a CM abelian variety. > > 2. By Deligne-Andre-Milne, we can assume that the Hodge class is the reduction of a Weil type class associated with an E-linear abelian variety (E is a CM field). > > 3. Here, we have the first new (?) ingredient: Either this mod-p Weil class \gamma is orthogonal to the Lefschetz space, or it pairs non-trivially against a Lefschetz class of the form D\_u^r where u is a Rosati fixed endomorphism that is E-semi-linear. > > 4. At this point, it suffices to show that we can lift \gamma and u simultaneously with \gamma lifting to a Weil class: Indeed, this is enough via positivity in char 0 to conclude that \gamma is in the Lefschetz space. > > 5. The lifting is established via another appeal to results of Kisin-Zhou on maps from affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties: this is the second somewhat new ingredient. Yes. **This is a much clearer organization**, and I should have explained it this way from the start. It follows the logical deduction and makes clear exactly what the simultaneous lifting is supposed to accomplish. I would sharpen three points: - **In (3), include the polarization factor.** If \(\gamma\) has codimension \(r\) and \(g=\dim A\), the nonzero pairing can be arranged as \[ \bigl\langle\gamma\,D_u^r\theta^{g-2r}\bigr\rangle\ne0, \qquad u^\dagger=u,\quad ue=\bar e\,u. \] The chosen \(u\) is invertible. For imaginary quadratic \(E\), \(g=2r\), so your formula is exactly right. - **In (4), say “positivity and the \(E\)-action.”** Together they give the all-or-nothing statement for the lifted Weil space. The resulting rational divisor identity then specializes. Here simultaneous lifting includes the compatible rational transport of \(\gamma\). - **In (5), distinguish constructing the filtration from realizing it.** The proof-specific existence problem is to construct a balanced, weakly admissible filtration preserving \(E\), \(u\), and the polarization. The Kisin–Zhou/affine Deligne–Lusztig machinery then realizes it, after moving within the isogeny class. Thus your two potentially new ingredients are accurately isolated as **finding a suitable endomorphism witnessing nonvanishing**, and **constructing the compatible admissible filtration**. Establishing their novelty would require a separate comparison with the literature. With this organization, coefficient extraction becomes an optional explicit proof of the characteristic-zero conclusion. The technical lifting machinery can be presented after the reader already understands why it is needed. > Clearly you can make this distillation. Why do you think the instance of you (or actually the next iteration of you apparently) didn't make the effort of doing that? I can’t know what happened in the run that produced the paper. But my own responses show the failure clearly: **I accepted the paper’s decomposition as the structure of the explanation, instead of first questioning that decomposition.** I kept explaining why each lemma worked and where it was used. I should have asked much earlier: - Which conclusions already follow from established theorems? - What is the weakest simultaneous-lifting statement that would finish the argument? - Once that lift exists, is any substantial work left? Those questions would have exposed the role of the characteristic-zero Lefschetz argument and made coefficient extraction optional. Your questions supplied that pressure; I should have supplied it myself. A model can produce technically elaborate arguments while failing to perform this global simplification. Local verification supplies many concrete things to check; identifying the essential argument requires stepping back and being willing to discard the existing exposition—even one the model has just defended. So I would call this a failure of mathematical judgment and task prioritization. You originally asked for the **main new insight**, and that called for precisely this distillation from the beginning. > Btw I believe both non-trivial steps are novel, though the first step establishing the existence of the invertible endomorphism seems most so

I agree that the first is the more surprising conceptual step. My earlier emphasis on lifting alone underweighted it. The striking implication is \[ \gamma_0\not\perp L^{g-r}(A_0) \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \exists\,u\in\operatorname{End}^0(A_0)^\times: \quad u^\dagger=u,\qquad ueu^{-1}=\bar e. \] A nonzero higher-codimension pairing forces complex conjugation on \(E\) to be implemented by an actual Rosati-symmetric quasi-isogeny. That is a substantial structural conclusion. The particularly effective move is that **nondegeneracy on just one \(E\)-eigenspace forces invertibility everywhere**. A positive-dimensional kernel would be an \(E\)-stable abelian subvariety; its homology must contain every embedding of \(E\), contradicting nondegeneracy on the tested eigenspace. This works directly in characteristic \(p\), including crystalline cohomology. [Lemma 5.3](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-September-23-2026/build/sections/04_weil.tex) Once that endomorphism exists, the simultaneous-lifting problem has a concrete, highly constrained form. I would therefore foreground **the passage from nonvanishing to an invertible endomorphism**, followed by **the existence of its compatible admissible filtration**, as the two central contributions. Their ingredients being familiar does not make either combination routine; establishing historical priority is a separate question. > How important are the results of Kisin-Madapusi Pera-Shin in the arguments of Kisin-Zhou?

**They are central to the CM-lifting argument we have been using.** My earlier shorthand “Kisin–Zhou’s lifting machinery” concealed two substantial KMPS inputs. 1. **There are enough algebraic quasi-isogenies.** KMPS’s Theorem 6 is a Tate theorem with additional tensors; in particular, it proves \[ \operatorname{rank}I_x=\operatorname{rank}G. \] Thus a maximal torus \(T\subset I_x\) has the full rank required for the construction. Once its action lifts, it becomes a maximal torus in \(G\), and \[ \operatorname{MT}(A_{\widetilde x})\subseteq Z_G(T)=T, \] proving that the lift is CM. Kisin–Zhou explicitly invoke this in §2.2.6. [KMPS, Theorem 6](https://math.berkeley.edu/~swshin/HT.pdf#page=4), [Kisin–Zhou, §2.2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=13) 2. **The torus supports the required admissible Hodge cocharacter.** KMPS’s Corollary 1.1.17 supplies, under the relevant transfer hypotheses, \[ \mu_T\in X_*(T),\qquad j\circ\mu_T\in\{\mu\},\qquad \mu_T^\diamond=\nu_b. \] This is the crucial compatibility between the Hodge type and the Newton point. Kisin–Zhou cite it directly in the proof of Theorem 2.2.7. [KMPS, Corollary 1.1.17](https://math.berkeley.edu/~swshin/HT.pdf#page=12) The subsequent argument uses admissibility, the affine Deligne–Lusztig map, and deformation theory to **realize these data inside the specified isogeny class**. The resulting CM lift then gives the common rational conjugacy class in Proposition 2.3.3, feeding directly into independence of \(\ell\). Kisin–Zhou explicitly describe their CM-lifting result as verifying KMPS’s Conjecture 1. [Kisin–Zhou, introduction and §§2.2–2.3](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1) The dependence is substantial in their **earlier independence-of-\(\ell\) paper** too: KMPS’s rank theorem proves that the constructed \(\mu\)-ordinary lifts are CM, while its density theorem supplies the dense \(\mu\)-ordinary locus from which that argument proceeds. See Theorems 4.1.11 and 4.4.4. [Earlier Kisin–Zhou paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.09945v2) So, for our discussion, KMPS supplies much of the structural content that makes the geometric lifting construction possible. The unramified predecessors occur in Kisin’s original work; KMPS provides the broader results used by Kisin–Zhou. > Look at this discussion with Claude about an easy way to show that there exists a weakly admissible filtered \varphi-module allowing the lifting of u as an endomorphism simultaneously with the E-module structure (and hence the Weil classes). The \mu-admissibility of an element of B(G) combined with non-emptiness results for ADLs gives this easily now without any explicit calculations. > > User context > > Attachments: > - Claude-Reductive subgroups preserving Hermitian and symplectic forms-20261013-1422.md: `~/Downloads/Claude-Reductive subgroups preserving Hermitian and symplectic forms-20261013-1422.md`

**Yes. The final argument in that discussion gives a short replacement for Theorem 4.1.** In fact, for the weakly admissible filtration itself, one can apply the general nonemptiness theorem for period domains directly. Here is the argument in the paper’s notation. **1. Take the centralizer of all the endomorphism data.** On a \(\mathbf Q_p\)-reference space for \((D,E,u,\beta)\), put \[ H=\operatorname{GSp}_{E}(V,\beta), \qquad G=Z_H(u). \] Writing Frobenius as \(b\sigma\) gives \(b\in G(\breve{\mathbf Q}_p)\), since Frobenius respects \(E,u\), and scales \(\beta\) by \(p\). Because \(u\) is invertible, Rosati self-adjoint, and \(E\)-antilinear, its centralizer has the geometric description \[ G_{\overline{\mathbf Q}_p} \simeq \left\{(g_a)\in\prod_a\operatorname{GSp}_{2m_a}: c(g_a)\text{ is independent of }a\right\}. \] The crucial feature is the **single common similitude**. Consequently, \[ G^{\mathrm{der}}_{\overline{\mathbf Q}_p} =\prod_a\operatorname{Sp}_{2m_a}, \qquad G^{\mathrm{ab}}\simeq\mathbf G_m, \qquad \pi_1(G)_\Gamma\simeq\mathbf Z. \] **2. Admissibility follows immediately from the polarization and slope bounds.** Let \(\{\mu_G\}\) be the class that is Siegel on every symplectic factor: weights \(1^{m_a},0^{m_a}\), with multiplier \(t\). This class is Galois invariant and maps to the required balanced class in \(H\). There are just two conditions to check: - **Kottwitz:** the multiplier detects the entire invariant, so \[ \kappa_G(b)=v_p(c(b))=1=\mu_G^\natural. \] - **Newton:** every slope of \(D\) lies in \([0,1]\). On each symplectic factor the Newton weights occur in pairs \(\lambda,1-\lambda\). These bounds are exactly what is needed for dominance below the Siegel cocharacter. Thus \[ \boxed{[b]\in B(G,\{\mu_G\}).} \] This checks the actual class in \(B(G)\), and works even when \(G\) is not quasi-split. The intermediate centralizer of \(u^2\) and its additional invariants are unnecessary. **3. Apply nonemptiness.** The general theorem on weakly admissible period domains now gives \[ \mathcal F(G,b,\{\mu_G\})^{\mathrm{wa}}\ne\varnothing. \] See [Rapoport–Viehmann, Proposition 3.1](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.2849#page=11), citing Dat–Orlik–Rapoport, Theorem 9.5.10. Since the original data descend to a finite field, openness allows the filtration to be chosen over a finite extension of \(\mathbf Q_p\). By construction, its weight-one space is: - stable under \(E\) and \(u\); - Lagrangian for \(\beta\); - of dimension \(s\) in every \(E\)-eigenspace. These are precisely the simultaneous lifting conditions. Moreover, blockwise symplecticity gives \[ \det_E(g)=c(g)^s, \] so this construction lies inside the paper’s Weil-tensor stabilizer. The original Shimura lifting argument therefore supplies the marked algebraic realization and transport of the Weil classes. **The auxiliary group \(G\) only needs to exist over \(\mathbf Q_p\).** Your ADL formulation is also available through [He’s nonemptiness theorem](https://archive.ymsc.tsinghua.edu.cn/pacm_download/315/8990-KR-conjecture.pdf), together with the lifting machinery. For the filtration alone, period-domain nonemptiness is the shorter invocation. This sharpens the earlier distillation: once the invertible \(u\) has been produced, the filtration step reduces to recognizing this centralizer and applying an existing existence theorem. The explicit construction and subobject calculations in Section 4 can be replaced by this argument. > It's good to make explicit a general principle: If M is an F-isocrystal with G-structure admitting a lifting to a filtered \varphi-module with G-structure over some finite extension of W(k)[1/p], and hence yielding an element b of B(G,\mu) for the cocharacter \mu splitting the filtration, and If H\subset G is a reductive subgroup defined by \varphi-invariant elements, thus yielding a reduction to an element b' of B(H), and we have a cocharacter \mu' of H mapping to \mu such that this class is actually in B(H,\mu'), then we have a filtered \varphi-module with H-structure lifitng b'

Yes. **Simultaneous lifting of Frobenius-invariant tensors reduces to admissibility in their reductive stabilizer.** A precise formulation is: Let \(K_0=W(\overline{\mathbf F}_p)[1/p]\), and let \(H\hookrightarrow G\) be connected reductive groups over \(\mathbf Q_p\). Suppose: - A \(G\)-isocrystal \(M\), represented by \([b]\in B(G)\), has a specified reduction of structure group \([b']\in B(H)\). - An \(H\)-conjugacy class of cocharacters \(\{\mu'\}\) maps to the desired \(G\)-conjugacy class \(\{\mu\}\). - We have \[ [b']\in B(H,\{\mu'\}). \] Then, over some finite extension \(K/K_0\), there exists a **weakly admissible filtered isocrystal with \(H\)-structure**, with underlying \(H\)-isocrystal \(b'\) and filtration of type \(\{\mu'\}\). Extending its structure group to \(G\) gives a filtered lift of \(M\) of type \(\{\mu\}\). The proof is simply \[ [b']\in B(H,\{\mu'\}) \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \mathcal F(H,b',\{\mu'\})^{\mathrm{wa}}\neq\varnothing. \] Choose a classical point of this period domain; its residue field is a finite extension of \(K_0\). This is the general period-domain nonemptiness theorem, with no quasi-split or minuscule hypothesis. See [Rapoport–Viehmann, Proposition 3.1](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.2849#page=11). If \(H\) is the stabilizer of additional Frobenius-invariant tensors, the resulting filtration makes those tensors morphisms of filtered isocrystals. In particular, endomorphisms defining \(H\) preserve the filtration. **This is exactly the simultaneous lifting assertion for \(u\) and the \(E\)-action.** The existing \(G\)-lift specifies the desired Hodge type; the theorem produces a potentially different filtration of that same type. There is one precision in the opening implication: a weakly admissible \(G\)-filtered lift generally gives membership in \(A(G,\{\mu\})\); membership in \(B(G,\{\mu\})\) additionally requires the Kottwitz neutrality condition. Your explicit hypothesis on \(b'\) includes this condition and is sufficient. In our symplectic-centralizer application, \(\pi_1(H)_\Gamma\simeq\mathbf Z\), so this distinction disappears. See [Proposition 2.7 and the preceding discussion](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.2849#page=10). > Okay can you now attempt a rewrite of the paper that takes into account our whole discussion above, reorganizing it, making the exposition clearer and jettisoning irrelevant or redundant arguments and details?

Its purpose is to justify **the reduction to \(B(H)\)** that your general principle assumes. Here “rational” means defined over \(\mathbf Q_p\). In an arbitrary frame, write \(\varphi=b\sigma\). Frobenius invariance of \(u\) says \[ b\,\sigma(u)\,b^{-1}=u. \] This does **not** immediately say that \(b\) centralizes \(u\), because the matrix \(u\) need not be \(\sigma\)-fixed. The reference-space construction chooses a \(\mathbf Q_p\)-model of the endomorphism and pairing data. In a frame identifying \(u\) with a constant matrix \(u_0\), Frobenius becomes \(b'\sigma\), and now \[ b'u_0b'^{-1}=u_0. \] Consequently \[ H=Z_{\operatorname{GSp}_E(V,\psi)}(u_0) \] is defined over \(\mathbf Q_p\), and \(b'\in H(K_0)\) genuinely defines an element of \(B(H)\). This is the setup required by the [standard definition of \(B(H)\)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.2849#page=4). So Appendix B verifies exactly the phrase **“thus yielding a reduction to an element \(b'\in B(H)\)”** in your formulation. Once that reduction is given, the reference construction has no further role. I gave this setup too much prominence. It would read better as a short existence lemma attached to the definition of \(H\), with the symplectic multiplicity argument supplying its justification. > Yeah but this is clear from the fact that u comes from an endomorphism of an abelian variety whose crystalline realization gives u right?

**Yes—in this setting that is the right way to regard it.** We already have the rational algebra \[ S=\mathbf Q[E,u]\subset\operatorname{End}^0(A_0), \] its Rosati involution, and its crystalline realization. For \(u\) alone, rationality of its characteristic polynomial and Rosati semisimplicity give a \(\mathbf Q_p\)-reference matrix immediately. These are standard properties of algebraic endomorphisms. [Milne, §§12 and 17](https://www.jmilne.org/math/xnotes/AVs.pdf). Keeping \(E\) and the polarization simultaneously amounts to standard linear algebra for \(S\) with involution: the symplectic multiplicity spaces have even dimension, which ensures that the required reference module exists. So this is a routine consequence of the **actual algebraic endomorphism datum**, rather than an additional lifting problem. I overemphasized the distinction from an arbitrary Frobenius-invariant tensor. The separate appendix is unnecessary; a brief justification when defining the centralizer would suffice. > Isn't Lemma A.2 already contained in the work of Kisin-Zhou? Also, do we really need to state Lemma A.3? It's standard Grothendieck-Messing theory combined with the fact that we can always lift a quasi-isogeny from the residue field to O\_K/p^2 by Drinfeld (as explained by Katz in 'Serre-Tate ordinary theory')

> > Yes: Kisin–Zhou’s proof of Theorem 2.2.7 already realizes the prescribed admissible filtration; the torus is only needed to obtain the filtration and then conclude that the lift is CM. I also found Drinfeld’s homomorphism-lifting statement in Katz, Lemma 1.1.3, which gives the starting point for your shorter proof of A.3.
Yes on both counts. **Neither needs a separate lemma and proof in this rewrite.** For **A.2**, the precise reference is the realization argument in the **proof of Kisin–Zhou, Theorem 2.2.7**, together with Proposition 2.2.3 and Theorem 2.2.5. Once they have an admissible filtration, they realize it by a \(p\)-divisible group, choose a compatible integral tensor structure, use the ADL map to move within the Shimura isogeny class, and apply the deformation criterion to obtain the lift. This portion only requires admissibility and the prescribed cocharacter class. The torus supplies their filtration and subsequently ensures that the lift is CM. Our longer uniformization argument duplicates this. [Kisin–Zhou, §2.2, especially p.14](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.02165v1#page=14). For **A.3**, your argument gives exactly the standard justification: - After clearing denominators, Drinfeld’s construction lifts a suitable \(p\)-power multiple of the special-fiber homomorphism to \(\mathcal O_K/p^2\). This is [Katz, *Serre–Tate local moduli*, Lemma 1.1.3](https://web.math.princeton.edu/~nmk/old/serretatelocmod.pdf#page=5). - Evaluate its crystalline map on the divided-power thickenings above \(\mathcal O_K/p^2\). Preservation of the rational Hodge filtration implies preservation of the integral filtration, since the Hodge quotient is torsion-free. - Grothendieck–Messing therefore lifts that **same fixed multiple** compatibly to every \(\mathcal O_K/p^n\). Algebraization and division by the multiplier give the required rational homomorphism. Uniqueness preserves all algebraic relations. Thus the application only needs a sentence invoking “the usual rational homomorphism-lifting criterion, by Drinfeld and Grothendieck–Messing.” The separate excursion through filtered Dieudonné full faithfulness and Tate’s extension theorem is unnecessary. These should be short citations at the points of use; presenting them as independent technical results obscures where the paper’s actual work lies. > Okay now can you do another rewrite with all this in mind? Also, you don't have to reference KMS. It's subsumed in the work of KZ and it just looks awkwardly shoehorned in at the moment. Please also clean up the references. What does Author's version mean??

It is **just normalization bookkeeping**, and I gave it too much prominence. The passage ensures that the transported class specializes to exactly the original \(\gamma\). :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Documents/Codex/2026-10-07/wht/output/pdf/milne-rationality-rewrite.pdf" purpose="source"} There are two scalar factors: - The auxiliary trace construction contributes \([P:\mathbf Q]\). - The polarized quasi-isogeny contributes its rational similitude multiplier \(\lambda\), acting as \(\lambda^r\) on a codimension-\(r\) tensor. Consequently, tensor compatibility gives \[ (aj)^*\eta_{B,0}=\lambda^r[P:\mathbf Q]\,\gamma_0, \] so we simply set \[ \kappa=\lambda^{-r}[P:\mathbf Q]^{-1}\eta_B. \] The rationality of \(\lambda\) is ordinary polarization theory; the intersection calculation merely spells that out. **No additional rationality theorem about Hodge classes is being proved here.** This can be reduced to those two sentences and the rescaling formula. The final paragraph about comparisons repeats the standard compatibility already stipulated for the Shimura tensors and can be omitted. > Okay can you clean this up? I can't really tell what's happening in here. The point of the Weil restriction is to get a quasi-split group so that KZ applies. This should be made clear, but apart from that there seems to be a lot of needless fluff

Also, the introduction should make it very clear that the key novel input into the theorem is given by the lifting results of Kisin-Zhou

> > I found several similar problems: the introduction uses \(D_u\) and \(\theta\) before explaining them; Section 4 invokes the “original Weil Shimura datum” before defining it; and “Hodge class” sometimes means a cocharacter class rather than a cohomology class. The introduction also calls Kisin–Zhou the “remaining lifting inputs,” which gives exactly the wrong emphasis. I’m correcting these along with the section openings and transitions. > >

Across the body, I’ve added missing definitions, made the switches between Betti homology and crystalline cohomology explicit, and replaced references to unnamed constructions with the mathematical goal of the next step. In the appendix, the lifting proposition now comes before the quasi-splitness issue and the restriction-of-scalars construction. > >

I read the entire manuscript and revised it for a reader encountering the argument for the first time. There were several problems of the same kind: - **Premature explanations:** the appendix now states the lifting proposition before explaining the quasi-splitness requirement and restriction of scalars. Section 4 likewise states its objective before introducing the auxiliary Shimura datum. - **Undefined notation and constructions:** I supplied missing definitions of \(\theta\), \(D_u\), the special-fiber realization \(V\), and the local cocharacter notation. - **Ambiguous terminology:** “Hodge class” no longer also means a conjugacy class of cocharacters; changes between homological and cohomological conventions are explicit. - **Conversational residue:** I removed passages answering our earlier discussion rather than advancing the paper’s argument, and shortened the Grothendieck–Messing digression. The abstract and introduction now explicitly identify **Kisin–Zhou’s lifting results as the key new input**, explaining both their CM-lifting role and their use in realizing a prescribed admissible filtration. The revised PDF compiles cleanly; I checked all 15 pages. :codex-file-citation{path="/Users/kmadapusi/Documents/Codex/2026-10-07/wht/output/pdf/milne-rationality-rewrite.pdf" purpose="output"} [Editable LaTeX](./output/latex/milne-rationality-rewrite.tex) > @misc{OAI:Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026, > author = {{OpenAI}}, > title = {{Milne's rationality conjecture for abelian varieties}}, > howpublished = {OpenAI Math Release preprint > \href{[https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026/paper.pdf}{OAI:Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026}}](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026/paper.pdf}{OAI:Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026), year = {2026} } Can you convert this to a bibitem? ```latex \bibitem{OAI:Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026} OpenAI, \emph{Milne's rationality conjecture for abelian varieties}, \href{https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Milnes-rationality-conjecture-for-abelian-varieties-October-7-2026/paper.pdf}{OpenAI Math Release preprint}, 2026. ```
