We show that abelian surfaces (and consequently curves of genus 2) over totally real fields are potentially modular. As a consequence, we obtain the expected meromorphic continuation and functional equations of their Hasse--Weil zeta…

We prove that any abelian surface defined over $\Q$ of $GL_2$-type having quaternionic multiplication and good reduction at 3 is modular. We generalize the result to higher dimensional abelian varieties with ``sufficiently many…

This paper studies a class of Abelian varieties that are of $\GL_2$-type and with isogenous classes defined over a number field $k$. We treat the cases when their endomorphism algebras are either (1) a totally real field $K$ or (2) a…

Associated to an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over a number field $K$ is a Galois representation $\rho_A\colon Gal(\bar{K}/K)\to GL_{2g}(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$. The representation $\rho_A$ encodes the Galois action on the torsion points…

We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.

This note provides an insight to the diophantine properties of abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication over number fields. We study the fields of definition of the endomorphisms on these abelian varieties and the images of the…

This is a survey article about Siegel modular varieties over the complex numbers. It is written mostly from the point of view of moduli of abelian varieties, especially surfaces. We cover compactification of Siegel modular varieties;…

We construct infinitely many abelian surfaces A defined over the rational numbers such that, for a prime ell <= 7, the ell-torsion subgroup of A is not isomorphic as a Galois module to the ell-torsion subgroup of its dual. We do this by…

We study the birational geometry of some moduli spaces of abelian varieties with extra structure: in particular, with a symmetric theta structure and an odd theta characteristic. For a $(d_1,d_2)$-polarized abelian surface, we show how the…

A simple abelian variety $A$ defined over a number field $k$ is called of $\mathrm{GL}_n$-type if there exists a number field of degree $2\dim(A)/n$ which is a subalgebra of $\mathrm{End}^0(A)$. We say that $A$ is genuinely of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically connected variety defined over a number field $K$. We prove that the geometric \'etale cohomology of $X$ with $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$-coefficients has finitely many classes invariant under the…

Let $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $p>0$, $K/F$ an $\ell$-adic Lie extension ($\ell\neq p$) and $A/F$ an abelian variety. We provide Euler characteristic formulas for the $Gal(K/F)$-module $Sel_A(K)_\ell$.

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…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety over a number field $k$ such that $\operatorname{End}(A)$ is noncommutative. We show that $A$ splits modulo all but finitely many primes of $k$. We prove this by considering the subalgebras of…

We study Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties over finitely generated fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give sufficient conditions for such representations to decompose as a product, and apply them to prove…

Kuga and Satake associate with every polarized complex K3 surface (X,L) a complex abelian variety called the Kuga-Satake abelian variety of (X,L). We use this construction to define morphisms between moduli spaces of polarized K3 surface…

Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…

In this paper we give a module-theoretic description of the isomorphism classes of abelian varieties $A$ isogenous to $B^r$, where the characteristic polynomial $g$ of Frobenius of $B$ is an ordinary square-free $q$-Weil polynomial, for a…

We prove the modularity of a positive proportion of abelian surfaces over $\mathbf{Q}$. More precisely, we prove the modularity of abelian surfaces which are ordinary at $3$ and are $3$-distinguished, subject to some assumptions on the…

This paper gives a conjectural characterization of those elliptic curves over the field of complex numbers which "should" be covered by standard modular curves. The elliptic curves in question all have algebraic j-invariant, so they can be…
