28 The main Theorem We are ready to state the main theorem in our paper: Theorem Let C be a genus 3 curves with CM by a CM-eld K (with a primitive CM-type). Write K = Q( α) for some totally negative element α K + /Z with α O = End(J(C)). Assume further that we are under restrictions (R1) and (R2). Then any prime p p for which there is a solution to the embedding problem, in particular, for primes of bad reduction, is bounded by p 4Tr K + /Q(α) 6 /3 6. lisa Lorenzo García Universiteit Leiden (Joint Bad reduction work withofbouw, genus Cooley, 3 curveslauter, with CManes, Newton, October Ozman.) 1, / 17

29 Sketch of the proof Proof (Sketch). If p is a prime of bad reduction, then there exists an embedding ι : K = End 0 (J) End 0 (J) = M 3 (B p, ) such that complex conjugation on the LHS corresponds to the Rosati involution on the RHS. Recall that K = Q( α) and K + = Q(α) with α a totally negative element. Let us call γ = ι(α). Then (using R2) 0 > Tr(α) = Tr(γγ ) = Tr(γλγ λ 1 ) = Nr(γ ij ) Goren & Lauter's Lemma about small norm elements implies that we have an embedding ι : K M 3 (K 1 ) with K 1 an at most degree 2 CM-eld. (R1) K 1 = Q. This gives us a contradiction with [Q( α) : Q] = 6. lisa Lorenzo García Universiteit Leiden (Joint Bad reduction work withofbouw, genus Cooley, 3 curveslauter, with CManes, Newton, October Ozman.) 1, / 17
