Let A,A' be elliptic curves or abelian varieties fully of type GSp defined over a number field K. This includes principally polarized abelian varieties with geometric endomorphism ring Z and dimension 2 or odd. We compare the number of…
Faltings's isogeny theorem states that two abelian varieties are isogenous over a number field precisely when the characteristic polynomials of the reductions at almost all prime ideals of the number field agree. This implies that two…
Let $A$ be a square-free abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. Let $S$ be a density one set of prime ideals $\mathfrak{p}$ of $\mathcal{O}_K$. A famous theorem of Faltings says that the Frobenius polynomials…
We provide a simple method of constructing isogeny classes of abelian varieties over certain fields $k$ such that no variety in the isogeny class has a principal polarization. In particular, given a field $k$, a Galois extension $\ell$ of…
Let $\ell$ be a prime number. We classify the subgroups $G$ of $\operatorname{Sp}_4(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ and $\operatorname{GSp}_4(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ that act irreducibly on $\mathbb{F}_\ell^4$, but such that every element of $G$ fixes an…
An abelian surface $A_{/{\mathbb Q}}$ of prime conductor $N$ is favorable if its 2-division field $F$ is an ${\mathcal S}_5$-extension with ramification index 5 over ${\mathbb Q}_2$. Let $A$ be favorable and let $B$ be any semistable…
In this paper we show that if $\phi_{i}:A_{i}\rightarrow{A}$ is a semisimple pointed $K$-rational $\ell$-isogeny graph of order $n$ for a prime $\ell$, then the group of $\ell$-torsion points $A[\ell](\overline{K})$ contains a subspace of…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. If $\mathfrak{p}$ is a prime of $K$ of good reduction for $A$, let $A(K)_\mathfrak{p}$ denote the image of the Mordell-Weil group via reduction modulo $\mathfrak{p}$. We prove…
We say that two abelian varieties $A$ and $A'$ defined over a field $F$ are polyquadratic twists if they are isogenous over a Galois extension of $F$ whose Galois group has exponent dividing $2$. Let $A$ and $A'$ be abelian varieties…
If A and B are abelian varieties over a number field K such that there are non-trivial geometric homomorphisms of abelian varieties between reductions of A and B at most primes of K, then there exists a non-trivial (geometric) homomorphism…
Let $k$ be an algebraic extension of $\mathbb F_p$ and $K/k$ a regular extension of fields (e.g. $\mathbb F_p(T)/\mathbb F_p$). Let $A$ be a $K$-abelian variety such that all the isogeny factors are neither isotrivial nor of $p$-rank zero.…
Let Z be a subvariety of the moduli space of principally polarised abelian varieties of dimension g over the complex numbers. Suppose that Z contains a Zariski dense set of points which correspond to abelian varieties from a single isogeny…
We characterize the abelian varieties arising as absolutely simple factors of GL2-type varieties over a number field k. In order to obtain this result, we study a wider class of abelian varieties: the k-varieties A/k satisfying that…
Suppose $C$ is an isogeny class of abelian varieties over a finite field $k$. In this paper we give a partial answer to the question of which finite group schemes over $k$ occur as kernels of polarizations of varieties in $C$. We show that…
We give a description of the set of exceptional pairs for a number field $K$, that is the set of pairs $(\ell, j(E))$, where $\ell$ is a prime and $j(E)$ is the $j$-invariant of an elliptic curve $E$ over $K$ which admits an $\ell$-isogeny…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. When $A$ is isogenous to a product of simple abelian…
We propose a simple criterion to know if an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is cyclic, i.e., it has a cyclic group of rational points; this criterion is based on the endomorphism ring End$_{\mathbb{F}_q}(A)$.…
Let $A$ be a 2-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. Fix a prime number $\ell$ and suppose $\#A(\mathbb{F}_p) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell^2}$ for a set of primes $\mathfrak{p} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ of density 1. When…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ together with a principal polarization $\phi: A \rightarrow \hat{A}$ defined over a field $k$. Let $\ell$ be an odd integer prime to the characteristic of $k$ and let $K$ be a subgroup of…
In this paper we give conditions under which two abelian varieties that are defined over a finite field $F$, and are isogenous over some larger field, are $F$-isogenous. Further, we give conditions under which a given isogeny is defined…
