Sato–Tate conjecture
Field	Arithmetic geometry
Conjectured by	Mikio Sato; John Tate
Conjectured in	c. 1960
First proof by	Laurent Clozel; Thomas Barnet-Lamb; David Geraghty; Michael Harris; Nicholas Shepherd-Barron; Richard Taylor
First proof in	2011

In mathematics, the Sato–Tate conjecture is a statistical statement about the family of elliptic curves E_p obtained from an elliptic curve E over the rational numbers by reduction modulo almost all prime numbers p. Mikio Sato and John Tate independently posed the conjecture around 1960.

If N_p denotes the number of points on the elliptic curve E_p defined over the finite field with p elements, the conjecture gives an answer to the distribution of the second-order term for N_p. By Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves,

N_{p}/p=1+\mathrm {O} (1/\!{\sqrt {p}})\

as $p\to \infty$ , and the point of the conjecture is to predict how the O-term varies.

The original conjecture and its generalization to all totally real fields was proved by Laurent Clozel, Michael Harris, Nicholas Shepherd-Barron, and Richard Taylor under mild assumptions in 2008, and completed by Thomas Barnet-Lamb, David Geraghty, Harris, and Taylor in 2011. Several generalizations to other algebraic varieties and fields are open.

Statement

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers without complex multiplication. For a prime number p, define θ_p as the solution to the equation

p+1-N_{p}=2{\sqrt {p}}\cos \theta _{p}~~(0\leq \theta _{p}\leq \pi ).

Then, for every two real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$ for which $0\leq \alpha <\beta \leq \pi ,$

\lim _{N\to \infty }{\frac {\#\{p\leq N:\alpha \leq \theta _{p}\leq \beta \}}{\#\{p\leq N\}}}={\frac {2}{\pi }}\int _{\alpha }^{\beta }\sin ^{2}\theta \,d\theta ={\frac {1}{\pi }}\left(\beta -\alpha +\sin(\alpha )\cos(\alpha )-\sin(\beta )\cos(\beta )\right)

Details

By Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves, the ratio

{\frac {(p+1)-N_{p}}{2{\sqrt {p}}}}={\frac {a_{p}}{2{\sqrt {p}}}}

is between -1 and 1. Thus it can be expressed as cos θ for an angle θ; in geometric terms there are two eigenvalues accounting for the remainder and with the denominator as given they are complex conjugate and of absolute value 1. The Sato–Tate conjecture, when E doesn't have complex multiplication,^[1] states that the probability measure of θ is proportional to

\sin ^{2}\theta \,d\theta .

^[2]

This is due to Mikio Sato and John Tate (independently, and around 1960, published somewhat later).^[3]

Proof

In 2008, Clozel, Harris, Shepherd-Barron, and Taylor published a proof of the Sato–Tate conjecture for elliptic curves over totally real fields satisfying a certain condition: of having multiplicative reduction at some prime,^[4] in a series of three joint papers.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Further results are conditional on improved forms of the Arthur–Selberg trace formula. Harris has a conditional proof of a result for the product of two elliptic curves (not isogenous) following from such a hypothetical trace formula.^[8] In 2011, Barnet-Lamb, Geraghty, Harris, and Taylor proved a generalized version of the Sato–Tate conjecture for an arbitrary non-CM holomorphic modular form of weight greater than or equal to two,^[9] by improving the potential modularity results of previous papers.^[10] The prior issues involved with the trace formula were solved by Michael Harris,^[11] and Sug Woo Shin.^[12]^[13]

In 2015, Richard Taylor was awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics "for numerous breakthrough results in (...) the Sato–Tate conjecture."^[14]

Generalisations

There are generalisations, involving the distribution of Frobenius elements in Galois groups involved in the Galois representations on étale cohomology. In particular there is a conjectural theory for curves of genus n > 1.

Under the random matrix model developed by Nick Katz and Peter Sarnak,^[15] there is a conjectural correspondence between (unitarized) characteristic polynomials of Frobenius elements and conjugacy classes in the compact Lie group USp(2n) = Sp(n). The Haar measure on USp(2n) then gives the conjectured distribution, and the classical case is USp(2) = SU(2).

There are also more refined statements. The Lang–Trotter conjecture (1976) of Serge Lang and Hale Trotter states the asymptotic number of primes p with a given value of a_p,^[16] the trace of Frobenius that appears in the formula. For the typical case (no complex multiplication, trace ≠ 0) their formula states that the number of p up to X is asymptotically

c{\sqrt {X}}/\log X\

with a specified constant c. Neal Koblitz (1988) provided detailed conjectures for the case of a prime number q of points on E_p, motivated by elliptic curve cryptography.^[17] In 1999, Chantal David and Francesco Pappalardi proved an averaged version of the Lang–Trotter conjecture.^[18]^[19]
