It is possible that a simple (or absolutely simple) Abelian variety defined over a number field splits modulo every prime of good reduction. This is a new problem that arises in designing crypto systems using Abelian varieties of dimension larger than $1$. We discuss what is behind this phenomenon. In particular, we discuss the question of given an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field, whether it has simple specializations at a set of places of positive Dirichlet density? A conjectural answer to this question was given by Murty and Patankar, and we explain some recent progress towards proving the conjecture. Our result ([14], Theorem 1.1) is based on the classification of pairs $(G,V)$ consisting of a semi-simple algebraic group $G$ over a non-archimedean local field and an absolutely irreducible representation $V$ of $G$ such that $G$ admits a maximal torus acting irreducibly on $V$.
Keywords: endomorphism algebra, Dynkin diagram., Abelian variety.
