Hecke character of a CM elliptic curve

ID: hecke-character-of-a-cm-elliptic-curve

Suppose contains the CM field and all CM endomorphisms are defined over . CM reciprocity compares the torus with its idele-transformed lattice and gives for finite ideles. Then . On principal ideles, , so the character descends to the idèle class group. At a good prime its ideal value reduces to the Frobenius isogeny. If the original field omits , construct the character over and induce the corresponding representation down to the original field.
