In a paper of Tate and the author, we conjectured a uniform bound for the p-adic distance of torsion points on a semiabelian variety, not lying in a subvariety, to that subvariety. We survey the progress made on that conjecture and on…

We prove $p$-adic versions of a classical result in arithmetic geometry stating that an irreducible subvariety of an abelian variety with dense torsion has to be the translate of a subgroup by a torsion point. We do so in the context of…

Let $p$ be a prime. Tate and Voloch proved that a point of finite order in the algebraic torus cannot be $p$-adically too close to a fixed subvariety without lying on it. The current work is motivated by the analogy between torsion points…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over ${\bf C}_p$ ($p$ a prime number) and $V\hookrightarrow A$ a closed subvariety. The conjecture of Tate-Voloch predicts that the $p$-adic distance from a torsion point $T\not\in V({\bf C}_p)$ to the variety…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic~$0$ and fix an embedding $K \subset \mathbb{C}$. The Mumford--Tate conjecture is a precise way of saying that certain extra structure on the…

We explore Tate-type conjectures over $p$-adic fields. We study a conjecture of Raskind that predicts the surjectivity of $$ ({\rm NS}(X_{\bar{K}}) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Q}_p)^{G_K} \longrightarrow H^2_{\rm…

Tate's theorem (Invent. Math. 1966)implies that the Tate conjecture holds for any abelian variety over a finite field whose Q_l-algebra of Tate classes is generated by those of degree 1. We construct families of abelian varieties over…

The Torsion Anomalous Conjecture (TAC) states that a subvariety V of an abelian variety A has only finitely many maximal torsion anomalous subvarieties. In this work we prove, with an effective method, some cases of the TAC when the ambient…

We prove an analogue, over global function fields, of a conjecture due to Su-Ion Ih concerning the non-Zariski density of torsion points on abelian varieties that are integral with respect to a given non-special divisor. Along the way, we…

We formulate and study a torsion analogue of the weight-monodromy conjecture for a proper smooth scheme over a non-archimedean local field. We prove it for proper smooth schemes over equal characteristic non-archimedean local fields,…

We use perfectoid spaces associated to abelian varieties and Siegel moduli spaces to study torsion points and ordinary CM points. We reprove the Manin-Mumford conjecture i.e. Raynaud's theorem. We also prove the Tate-Voloch conjecture for a…

We survey recent advances in non-abelian Hodge theory in the "mixed" setting of non-proper algebraic varieties. We then describe how these tools are used to construct algebraic Shafarevich morphisms and prove a version of the linear…

In this note we discuss some examples of non torsion and non algebraic cohomology classes for varieties over finite fields. The approach follows the construction of Atiyah-Hirzebruch and Totaro.

We show that, for an abelian variety defined over a $p$-adic field $K$ which has potential good reduction, its torsion subgroup with values in the composite field of $K$ and a certain Lubin-Tate extension over a $p$-adic field is finite.

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 $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…

We give a proof of the $p$-adic weight monodromy conjecture for scheme-theoretic complete intersections in projective smooth toric varieties. The strategy is based on Scholze's proof in the $\ell$-adic setting, which we adapt using…

Using methods of p-adic analysis we give a different proof of Burnside's problem for automorphisms of quasiprojective varieties X defined over a field of characteristic 0. More precisely, we show that any finitely generated torsion subgroup…

If A/K is an abelian variety over a number field and P and Q are rational points, the original support conjecture asserted that if the order of Q (mod p) divides the order of P (mod p) for almost all primes p of K, then Q is obtained from P…

Given a smooth, proper family of varieties in characteristic $p>0$, and a cycle $z$ on a fibre of the family, we formulate a Variational Tate Conjecture characterising, in terms of the crystalline cycle class of $z$, whether $z$ extends…
