Let k be a base field, K be a field containing k and L/K be a field extension of degree n. The essential dimension ed(L/K) over k is a numerical invariant measuring "the complexity" of L/K. Of particular interest is $\tau$(n) = max {…
We study the notion of essential dimension for a linear representation of a finite group. In characteristic zero we relate it to the canonical dimension of certain products of Weil transfers of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. We then…
In this paper, we prove the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture for projective varieties which have finite morphisms to abelian varieties of trivial traces over function fields of characteristic 0. The proof is based on the idea of…
We estimate the fraction of isogeny classes of abelian varieties over a finite field which have a given characteristic polynomial P(T) modulo l. As an application we find the proportion of isogeny classes of abelian varieties with a…
We study the theory of a global field k as a k-vector space with a predicate for one of the absolute values on k. For example, we prove that in this language a global field with an ultrametric or real archimedean absolute value has a…
We give a categorical description of all abelian varieties with commutative endomorphism ring over a finite field with $q=p^a$ elements in a fixed isogeny class in terms of pairs consisting of a fractional $\mathbb Z[\pi,q/\pi]$-ideal and a…
We show that any abelian variety that is not affine has a nontrivial strongly abelian subvariety. In later papers in this sequence we apply this result to the study of minimal abelian varieties.
The classical Mordell-Weil theorem implies that an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$ has only finitely many $K$-rational torsion points. This finitude of torsion still holds even over the cyclotomic extension $K^{\rm…
An abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic is supersingular if it is isogenous to a product of supersingular elliptic curves and is superspecial if it is isomorphic to a product of…
For a linear difference equation with the coefficients being computable sequences, we establish algorithmic undecidability of the problem of determining the dimension of the solution space including the case when some additional prior…
We study abelian varieties $A$ with multiplication by a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field and give a criterion for the existence of principal polarizations on them in pure arithmetic terms. Moreover, we…
It is shown that a Hopf algebra over a field admitting a Galois extension separable over its subalgebra of coinvariants is of finite dimension. This answers in the affirmative a question posed by Beattie et al. in [{\it Proc. Amer. Math.…
We extend earlier examples provided by Schoen, Nori and Bloch to show that when a surface has the property that the kernel of its Albanese map is non-zero over the field of complex numbers, this kernel is non-zero over a field of…
We prove some new bounds for the size of the maximal dissociated subset of structured (having small sumset, large energy and so on) subsets A of an abelian group.
For first-order expansions of the field of real numbers, nondefinability of the set of natural numbers is equivalent to equality of topological and Assouad dimension on images of closed definable sets under definable continuous maps.
We propose a generalization of Ledet conjecture, which predicts the essential dimension of cyclic $p$-groups in characteristic $p$, for finite commutative unipotent group schemes. And we show some evidence and some consequences of this new…
We study smooth projective complex varieties with ample cotangent bundle. Our main result is that in an abelian variety of dimension n, a complete intersection of at least n/2 general hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degrees has ample…
In two earlier articles, we proved that, if the Hodge conjecture is true for ALL CM abelian varieties over the complex numbers, then both the Tate conjecture and the standard conjectures are true for abelian varieties over finite fields.…
Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with a quasifinite residue field. This paper proves the existence of an algebraic extension $E/K$ satisfying the following: (i) $E$ has dimension dim$(E) \le 1$, i.e. the Brauer group Br$(E…
We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field $F$ and $X/F$ a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover $\varphi\colon Y \to X$ of degree…
