Suppose F is either a global field or a finitely generated extension of \mathbf Q, A is an abelian variety over F, and ℓ is a prime not equal to the characteristic of F. Let Z denote the center of the endomorphism algebra of A. Let G denote the group of \mathbf Q_ℓ-points of the identity connected component of the Zariski closure of the image of the ℓ-adic representation associated to A. We prove the ℓ-independence of the intersection of G with the torsion subgroup of Z. Our results provide evidence in the direction of the Mumford-Tate Conjecture.
