We determine the isogeny classes of abelian surfaces over F_q whose group of F_q-rational points has order divisible by q^2. We also solve the same problem for Jacobians of genus-2 curves.
Let $k$ be a field with algebraic closure $\bar{k}$ and $D \subset \mathbb{P}^{1}_{\bar{k}}$ a reduced, effective divisor of degree $n \ge 3$, write $k(D)$ for the field of moduli of $D$. A. Marinatto proved that when $n$ is odd, or $n =…
Let X_K be a proper, smooth and geometrically connected curve over a global field K. In this paper we generalize a formula of Milne relating the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Jacobian of X_K to the order of the Brauer group of…
We construct some natural cycles with trivial regulator in the higher Chow groups of Jacobians. For hyperelliptic curves we use a criterion due to J. Lewis to prove that the cycles we construct are indecomposable, and then use a…
We give an existence result on (H,A)-stable sheaves on a K3 or abelian surface X with primitive triple of invariants (rank,first Chern class,Euler characteristics) in the integral cohomology lattice. Such a result yields the existence of…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a quartic field $K$. By the Mordell-Weil theorem, $E(K)$ is a finitely generated group. We determine all the possibilities for the torsion group $E(K)_{tor}$ where $K$ ranges over all quartic fields $K$ and…
Divisors whose Jacobian ideal is of linear type have received a lot of attention recently because of its connections with the theory of D-modules. In this work we are interested on divisors of expected Jacobian type, that is, divisors whose…
We introduce an algorithm to compute the rational torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 over the rationals. We apply a Magma implementation of our algorithm to a database of curves with low discriminant due to…
We outline a method to compute rational models for the Hilbert modular surfaces Y_{-}(D), which are coarse moduli spaces for principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication by the ring of integers in Q(sqrt{D}), via moduli…
Let $\ell$ and $n$ be positive integers with $\ell$ prime. The modular curves $X_1(\ell^n)$ and $X_0(\ell^n)$ are algebraic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose non-cuspidal points parameterize elliptic curves with a distinguished point of order…
Let $X$ be one of the $28$ Atkin-Lehner quotients of a curve $X_0(N)$ such that $X$ has genus $2$ and its Jacobian variety $J$ is absolutely simple. We show that the Shafarevich-Tate group of $J/\mathbb{Q}$ is trivial. This verifies the…
This paper is an expository survey of results about the effective divisors on moduli spaces, with a focus on what is known about the effective cones of moduli spaces of stable curves and of principally polarized abelian varieties. This…
We use methods for computing Picard numbers of reductions of K3 surfaces in order to study the decomposability of Jacobians over number fields and the variance of Mordell-Weil ranks of families of Jacobians over different ground fields. For…
We survey the well-known Yangian of $\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_1$ /quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ action on the cohomology / $K$-theory of moduli spaces of stable sheaves on surfaces, and give the generalization of this construction to…
We characterize all infinite-dimensional graded virtual modules for Thompson's sporadic simple group, whose graded traces are weight 3/2 weakly holomorphic modular forms satisfying certain special properties. We then use these modules to…
We introduce equivariant Chow-Witt groups in order to define Chow-Witt groups of quotient stacks. We compute the Chow-Witt ring of the moduli stack of stable (resp. smooth) elliptic curves, providing a geometric interpretation of the new…
We study the Schlesinger system of partial differential equations in the case when the unknown matrices of arbitrary size $(p\times p)$ are triangular and the eigenvalues of each matrix form an arithmetic progression with a rational…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\underline{III}(E)$ be a certain group of equivalence classes of homogeneous spaces of $E$ called its Tate-Shafarevich group. We show in this paper that this group has finite cardinality…
We introduce and study polystable divisors on a tropical curve, which are the tropical analogue of polystable torsion-free rank-1 sheaves on a nodal curve. We construct a universal tropical Jacobian over the moduli space of tropical curves…
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…
