Abstract

Let X be a complete smooth variety defined over a number field K and let i be an integer. The absolute Galois group GalK of K acts on the ith étale cohomology group (Forumala Presented). for all primes ℓ, producing a system of ℓ-adic representations {Φ }. The conjectures of Grothendieck, Tate, and Mumford-Tate predict that the identity component of the algebraic monodromy group of Φ admits a reductive Q-form that is independent of ℓ if X is projective. Denote by Γ and G respectively the monodromy group and the algebraic monodromy group of Φss,the semisimplification ofΦℓ. Assuming that Gℓ0 satisfies some group theoretic conditions for some prime ℓ0, we construct a connected quasi-split Q-reductive group GQ which is a common Q-form of Gℓ for all sufficiently large ℓ. Let GscQ be the universal cover of the derived group of GQ. As an application, we prove that the monodromy group Γ is big in the sense that (forumala Presented). for all sufficiently large ℓ.
