A precise and testable modularity conjecture for rational abelian surfaces A with trivial endomorphisms, End_Q A = Z, is presented. It is consistent with our examples, our non-existence results and recent work of C. Poor and D. S. Yuen on…
We provide examples of abelian surfaces over number fields $K$ whose reductions at almost all good primes possess an isogeny of prime degree $\ell$ rational over the residue field, but which themselves do not admit a $K$-rational…
Half a century ago Manin showed that given a number field $k$ and a rational prime $\ell$, there exists a uniform bound for the order of cyclic $\ell$-power isogenies between two non-CM elliptic curves over $k$. We generalize this to…
Let $A$ be a semistable abelian variety defined over ${\bf Q}$ with bad reduction only at one prime $p$. Let $L= {\bf Q}(A[\ell])$ be the $\ell$-division field of $A$ for a prime $\ell$ not equal to $p$ and let $F={\bf Q}(\mu_\ell)$ be the…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for abelian varieties to acquire semistable reduction over fields of low degree. Our criteria are expressed in terms of torsion points of small order defined over unramified extensions.
Let $U$ be a smooth affine curve over a number field $K$ with a compactification $X$ and let $\mathbb L$ be a rank $2$, geometrically irreducible $\bar{\mathbb Q}_\ell$-local system on $U$ with cyclotomic determinant that extends to an…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $K$. If $P$ and $Q$ are $K$-rational points of $A$ such that the order of the reduction of $Q$ divides that of $P$ for all but finitely many primes of the ring of integers of $K$, then there…
Fix an integer $d>0$. In 2008, David and Weston showed that, on average, an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ picks up a nontrivial $p$-torsion point defined over a finite extension $K$ of the $p$-adics of degree at most $d$ for only…
Let $E$ be an elliptic surface over the curve $C$, defined over a number field $k$, let $P$ be a section of $E$, and let $\ell$ be a rational prime. For any non-singular fibre $E_t$, we bound the number of points $Q$ on $E_t$ of (algebraic)…
We use the main theorem of Boxer-Calegari-Gee-Pilloni (arXiv:1812.09269) to give explicit examples of modular abelian surfaces $A$ over $\mathbf{Q}$ without extra endomorhpisms such that $A$ has good reduction outside the primes 2, 3, 5,…
We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…
Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…
We study semistable reduction and torsion points of abelian varieties. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an abelian variety to have semistable reduction. We also study N\'eron models of abelian varieties with…
We study the growth of the rank of elliptic curves and, more generally, Abelian varieties upon extensions of number fields. First, we show that if $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of number fields such that $\Gal(L/K)$ does not have an…
Baba and Granath generalize Elkies' theorem on infinitude of supersingular primes for elliptic curves to abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication of discriminant $6$, whose field of moduli is $\mathbb{Q}$ and which is a Jacobian in…
Let $G\subset x{\mathbb F}_q[\![x]\!]$ ($q$ is a power of the prime $p$) be a subset of formal power series over a finite field such that it forms a compact abelian $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $d\ge 1$. We establish a necessary and…
We compute an equation for a modular abelian surface $A$ that has everywhere good reduction over the quadratic field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{61})$ and that does not admit a principal polarization over $K$.
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…
Let K be a number field and A an abelian variety over K. We are interested in the following conjecture of Morita: if the Mumford-Tate group of A does not contain unipotent Q-rational points then A has potentially good reduction at any…
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…
