Corollary 39 Let E 1 /K and E 2 /K be two isogenous a <strong>CM</strong> <strong>elliptic</strong> <strong>curves</strong> withEnd 0 (E i ) ≃ F . If f i = f Ei , then(84)∆(q E1 ,E 2) = lcm(f 1 , f 2 ) 2 ∆ F and cont(q E1 ,E 2) = lcm(f 1, f 2 )gcd(f 1 , f 2 ) .Pro<strong>of</strong>. By Proposition 36 there is a <strong>CM</strong> <strong>elliptic</strong> curve E such that E ∼ E i and f Ei |f E ,for i = 1, 2. Thus E i ∈ Isog + (E), for i = 1, 2, and so the assertion follows fromProposition 37.4 Product abelian varieties4.1 Kernel ideals and ideal subgroups <strong>of</strong> A nLet A = A 1 × A 2 × . . . × A n be the product <strong>of</strong> the abelian varieties A 1 , . . . , A n /K, andlet p A i : A → A i denote the ith projection and e A j : A j → A be the jth inclusion map.If A ′ = A ′ 1 × A ′ 2 × . . . × A ′ m is another product abelian variety, then (as is well-known)the group Hom(A, A ′ ) can be identified with a set <strong>of</strong> m×n “matrices”. More precisely,we have the isomorphismT A,A ′ : Hom(A, A ′ )∼→ M(A, A ′ ) :=m⊕ n⊕Hom(A j , A ′ i)i=1 j=1given by the rule T A,A ′(h) = (h ij ), where h ij = p A′i ◦ h ◦ e A j ∈ Hom(A j , A ′ i). Weshall refer to the elements <strong>of</strong> M(A, A ′ ) as “matrices”. Note that this identification ismultiplicative in the sense that if A ′′ = A ′′1 × . . . × A ′′t is another abelian product, thenwe have the rule(85)T A,A ′′(h ′ ◦ h) = T A ′ ,A ′′(h′ ) · T A,A ′(h), if h ∈ Hom(A, A ′ ), h ′ ∈ Hom(A ′ , A ′′ ),where the product on the right hand side is the product <strong>of</strong> “matrices” which is definedby the rule (h ′ ik )(h kj) = (h ′′ij), where h ′′ij = ∑ k h′ ik ◦ h kj. This follows easily fromthe identity ∑ nk=1 eA′ k pA′ k = 1 A ′. In particular, if A = A n 1, then T A,A defines a ringisomorphismT A1 ,n = T A,A : End(A n 1)∼→ M(A n 1, A n 1) = M n (End(A 1 ))between End(A n 1) and the ring <strong>of</strong> n × n matrices with coefficients in the ring End(A 1 ).In order to study abelian varieties which are isogenous to A = A n 1, we shall usethe theory <strong>of</strong> kernel ideals and ideal subgroups <strong>of</strong> section 2. For this, we need tounderstand the ideals <strong>of</strong> M n (R), where R = End(A 1 ). To construct such ideals, weshall use the following notation.33
