Abstract
Let K be a number field and \(\{V_\ell \}_\ell \) a rational strictly compatible system of semisimple Galois representations of K arising from geometry. Let \(\mathbf {G}_\ell \) and \(V_\ell ^{{\text {ab}}}\) be respectively the algebraic monodromy group and the maximal abelian subrepresentation of \(V_\ell \) for all \(\ell \). We prove that the system \(\{V_\ell ^{{\text {ab}}}\}_\ell \) is also a rational strictly compatible system under some group theoretic conditions, e.g., when \(\mathbf {G}_{\ell '}\) is connected and satisfies Hypothesis A for some prime \(\ell '\). As an application, we prove that the Tate conjecture for abelian variety X/K is independent of \(\ell \) if the algebraic monodromy groups of the Galois representations of X satisfy the required conditions.
