Let $K$ be a number field, $n>4$ an integer, $f(x)$ an irreducible polynomial over $K$ of degree $n$, whose Galois group is either the full symmetric group $S_n$ or the alternating group $A_n$. Suppose $C:y^2=f(x)$ is the corresponding…

We classify the endomorphism algebras of factors of the Jacobian of certain hypergeometric curves over a field of characteristic zero. Other than a few exceptional cases, the endomorphism algebras turn out to be either a cyclotomic field…

Let q be an odd power of a prime p and let A/Fq be a supersingular abelian variety of dimension g. We show that if p>2g+1, then the characteristic polynomial of the q-Frobenius is an even polynomial. This generalizes the well-known result…

We present algorithms which, given a genus 2 curve $C$ defined over a finite field and a quartic CM field $K$, determine whether the endomorphism ring of the Jacobian $J$ of $C$ is the full ring of integers in $K$. In particular, we present…

In 2012, Zilber used model-theoretic techniques to show that a curve of high genus over an algebraically closed field is determined by its Jacobian (viewed only as an abstract group with a distinguished subset for an image of the curve). In…

We study meromorphic jacobian pairs, i.e., pairs of polynomials in one variable, with coefficients meromorphic series in a second variable, whose jacobian relative to the two variables depends only on the second variable. We pose two…

Let $U$ be a smooth affine curve over a number field $K$ with a compactification $X$ and let $\mathbb L$ be a rank $2$, geometrically irreducible $\bar{\mathbb Q}_\ell$-local system on $U$ with cyclotomic determinant that extends to an…

We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…

Zarhin has extensively studied restrictions placed on the endomorphism algebras of Jacobians $J$ for which the Galois group associated to their 2-torsion is insoluble and 'large' (relative to the dimension of $J$). In this paper we examine…

We discuss Galois properties of points of prime order on an abelian variety that imply the simplicity of its endomorphism algebra. Applications to hyperelliptic jacobians are given. In particular, we improve some of our earlier results.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $p$ be a prime of good reduction for $E$. Then, for a prime $p \neq \ell$, the Frobenius automorphism associated to $p$ (unique up to conjugation) acts on the $\ell$-adic Tate module of…

Let E be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by R, where R is an order of discriminant D<-4 of an imaginary quadratic field K . If a prime number p is decomposed completely in the ring class field associated with R, then E has…

Let $K$ be a field with a discrete valuation, and let $p$ and $\ell$ be (possibly equal) primes which are not necessarily different from the residue characteristic. Given a superelliptic curve $C : y^p = f(x)$ which has split degenerate…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a finite field. Balasubramanian and Koblitz have proved that if the l-th roots of unity m_l is not contained in the ground field, then a field extension of the ground field contains m_l if and only if…

We define and study the Weil pairing on the moduli of twisted curves. If $X$ is a twisted curve, then we can combinatorially describe a certain subgroup and a quotient group of $\text{Pic}(X)[2]$ that are Weil dual. Moreover, the pairing…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and be an integer coprime to $p$. We survey an algorithm for computing explicit rational representations of $(\ell,...,\ell)$-isogenies between Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus over an…

We study the $\ell$-torsion subgroup in Jacobians of curves of the form $y^{\ell} = f(x)$ for irreducible $f(x)$ over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p \neq \ell$. This is a function field analogue of the study of…

Given a principally polarized abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, the $p$ torsion $A[p]$ is a finite flat $p$-torsion group scheme of rank $p^{2g}$. There are exactly $2^g$…

Let $J$ be the Jacobian of a superelliptic curve defined by the equation $y^{\ell} = f(x)$, where $f$ is a separable polynomial of degree non-divisible by $\ell$. In this article we study the "exponential" (i.e. $\ell$-power) torsion of…

We construct three families of pairs of genus 2 curves over a field K, whose Jacobians are isomorphic as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parameterized by an open subset of the Projective line over K. Our construction is based…
