Abstract

It is a theorem of Ribet that an abelian variety defined over a number field KK has only finitely many torsion points with values in the maximal cyclotomic extension field KcycK^{\mathrm{cyc}} of KK. Recently, R\"ossler and Szamuely generalized Ribet's theorem in terms of the \'etale cohomology with Q/Z\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}-coefficients of a smooth proper variety. In this paper, we show that the same finiteness holds even after replacing KcycK^{\mathrm{cyc}} with the field obtained by adjoining to KK all roots of all elements of a certain subset of KK. Furthermore, we give some new examples of TKND-AVKF fields; the notion of TKND-AVKF is introduced by Hoshi, Mochizuki and Tsujimura, and TKND-AVKF fields are expected as one of suitable base fields for anabelian geometry.
