We prove that the Tate conjecture is invariant under Homological Projective Duality (=HPD). As an application, we prove the Tate conjecture in the new cases of linear sections of determinantal varieties, and also in the cases of complete…

We study the arithmetic of abelian varieties over $K=k(t)$ where $k$ is an arbitrary field. The main result relates Mordell-Weil groups of certain Jacobians over $K$ to homomorphisms of other Jacobians over $k$. Our methods also yield…

For a complex polynomial $D(t)$ of even degree, one may define the continued fraction of $\sqrt{D(t)}$. This was found relevant already by Abel in 1826, and later by Chebyshev, concerning integration of (hyperelliptic) differentials; they…

Let X be an irreducible smooth projective curve, of genus at least two, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from two. If X admits a nontrivial automorphism \sigma that fixes pointwise all the order two…

In this article, we show that in each of four standard families of hyperelliptic curves, there is a density-$1$ subset of members with the property that their Jacobians have adelic Galois representation with image as large as possible. This…

The Torelli theorem establishes that the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve, together with the polarization provided by the theta divisor, fully characterizes the curve. In the case of nodal curves, there exists a concept known as fine…

Let $C_k$ be a smooth projective curve over a global field $k$, which is neither rational nor elliptic. Harris-Silverman, when $p=0$, and Schweizer, when $p>0$ together with an extra condition on the Jacobian variety…

We prove that when all hyperelliptic curves of genus $n\geq 1$ having a rational Weierstrass point are ordered by height, the average size of the 2-Selmer group of their Jacobians is equal to 3. It follows that (the limsup of) the average…

We study the Betti map of a particular (but relevant) section of the family of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves using the polynomial Pell equation $A^2-DB^2=1$, with $A,B,D\in \mathbb C[t]$ and certain ramified covers ${\mathbb P}^1\to…

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…

In this paper, we develop the theory of Jacobian rings of open complete intersections, which mean a pair $(X,Z)$ where $X$ is a smooth complete intersection in the projective space and and $Z$ is a simple normal crossing divisor in $X$…

Consider the Jacobian of a genus two curve defined over a finite field and with complex multiplication. In this paper we show that if the l-Sylow subgroup of the Jacobian is not cyclic, then the embedding degree of the Jacobian with respect…

We establish GIT semistability of the 2nd Hilbert point of every Gieseker-Petri general canonical curve by a simple geometric argument. As a consequence, we obtain an upper bound on slopes of general families of Gorenstein curves. We also…

In this paper we prove new explicit formulas for Faltings' $\delta$-invariant of an arbitrary hyperelliptic Riemann surface. This has several applications: For example we obtain an explicit lower bound for $\delta$ depending only on the…

Previous work by the authors (this journal, \vol{60} (2008), 1009-1044) produced equations that hold on certain loci of the Jacobian of a cyclic $C_{rs}$ curve. A curve of this type generalizes elliptic curves, and the equations in question…

We give a general framework for uniform, constant-time one-and two-dimensional scalar multiplication algorithms for elliptic curves and Jacobians of genus 2 curves that operate by projecting to the x-line or Kummer surface, where we can…

We give a completely explicit upper bound for integral points on (standard) affine models of hyperelliptic curves, provided we know at least one rational point and a Mordell-Weil basis of the Jacobian. We also explain a powerful refinement…

There is an elegant relation found by Fabricius-Bjerre [Math. Scand 40 (1977) 20--24] among the double tangent lines, crossings, inflections points, and cusps of a singular curve in the plane. We give a new generalization to singular curves…

We prove the following special case of Mazur's conjecture on the topology of rational points. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $j$-invariant $1728$. For a class of elliptic pencils which are quadratic twists of $E$ by…

The Hamilton-Jacobi problem is revisited bearing in mind the consequences arising from a possible bi-Hamiltonian structure. The problem is formulated on the tangent bundle for Lagrangian systems in order to avoid the bias of the existence…
