Let M be a field of finite type over {\bf Q} and X a variety defined over M. We study when the set {P \in X(K) \mid f^{\circ n} (P) = P for some n \geq 1} is finite for any finite extension fields K of M and for any dominant K-morphisms f :…

We construct, for every prime p, a function field K of characteristic p and an ordinary abelian variety A over K, with no isotrivial factors, that admits an etale self-isogeny of p-power degree. As a consequence, we deduce that there exist…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field with the residue field $\kappa$. Assume that cohomological dimension of $\kappa$ is less than or equal to $1$ (for example, $\kappa$ is an algebraically closed field or a finite field). Let $F$…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $n$ a positive integer. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$. It is known that the local-global divisibility by $p$ holds in $E/k$, but for powers of $p^n$ counterexamples may appear.…

We give upper and lower bounds on the number of points on abelian varieties over finite fields, and lower bounds specific to Jacobian varieties. We also determine exact formulas for the maximum and minimum number of points on Jacobian…

We use recent results about linking the number of zeros on algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, defined by polynomials with integer coefficients, and on their reductions modulo sufficiently large primes to study congruences with products…

In this paper we improve our previous results on classification of groups of points on abelian varieties over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $k$-isogeny class.

It is well known that the rational torsion of an abelian variety defined over a number field injects into the reduction modulo any sufficiently large prime, so the order of the torsion group divides the greatest common divisor of the sizes…
