Elliptic curves of bounded degree in a polarized Abelian variety

Abstract

For a polarized complex Abelian variety A, of dimension g>1, we study the function N_A(t) counting the number of elliptic curves in A with degree bounded by t. We describe elliptic curves as solutions of Diophantine equations which, at least for small dimensions g=2 and g=3, can actually be made explicit, and we show that computing the number of solutions is reduced to the classical topic in Number Theory of counting points of the lattice Z^n lying on an explicit bounded subset of R^n. We obtain, for Abelian varieties of small dimension, some upper bounds for the counting function.
