Abstract

Let AA be an abelian variety over a pp-adic field KK and LL an algebraic infinite extension over KK. We consider the finiteness of the torsion part of the group of rational points A(L)A(L) under some assumptions. In 1975, Hideo Imai proved that such a group is finite if AA has good reduction and LL is the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension of KK. In this talk, first we show a generalization of Imai's result in the case where AA has ordinary good reduction. Next we give some finiteness results when AA is an elliptic curve and LL is the field generated by the pp-power torsion of an elliptic curve.
