We study the $\ell$-torsion subgroup in Jacobians of curves of the form $y^{\ell} = f(x)$ for irreducible $f(x)$ over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p \neq \ell$. This is a function field analogue of the study of…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field. Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Let $k$ be its residue field which we assume to be algebraically closed of characteristic exponent $p\geq1$. Let $G/K$ be a semi-abelian variety.…

We consider the problem of classifying quadruples $(K,E,m_1,m_2)$ where $K$ is a number field, $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$ and $(m_1,m_2)$ is a pair of relatively prime positive integers for which the intersection $K(E[m_1])…

Let $(S,L)$ be a polarized abelian surface of Picard rank one and let $\phi$ be the function which takes each ample line bundle $L'$ to the least integer $k$ such that $L'$ is $k$-very ample but not $(k+1)$-very ample. We use Bridgeland's…

We show that abelian surfaces (and consequently curves of genus 2) over totally real fields are potentially modular. As a consequence, we obtain the expected meromorphic continuation and functional equations of their Hasse--Weil zeta…

Let A be an abelian surface over F_q, the field of q elements. The rational points on A/\F_q form an abelian group A(\F_q) \simeq \Z/n_1\Z \times \Z/n_1 n_2 \Z \times \Z/n_1 n_2 n_3\Z \times\Z/n_1 n_2 n_3 n_4\Z. We are interested in knowing…

{Let $K$ be a number field, and $A_1,A_2$ abelian varieties over $K$. Let $P$ (resp. $Q$) be a non-torsion point in $ A_1(K)$ (resp. $A_2(K)$) such that for almost all places $v$ of $K$, the order of $Q$ mod $v$ divides the order of $P$ mod…

It has long been known that to a complex cubic surface or threefold one can canonically associate a principally polarized abelian variety. We give a construction which works for cubics over an arithmetic base. This answers, away from the…

Extending Enriques' characterization to algebraically closed fields of characteristic $p \geq 7$, we show that every smooth projective surface $X$ with $h^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X) = 2$ and $p_1(X) = p_2(X) = 1$ is birational to an Abelian…

We show that any polarized abelian variety over a finite field is covered by a Jacobian whose dimension is bounded by an explicit constant. We do this by first proving an effective version of Poonen's Bertini theorem over finite fields,…

We formulate the notion of \emph{typical boundedness} of torsion on a family of abelian varieties defined over number fields. This means that the torsion subgroups of elements in the family can be made uniformly bounded by removing from the…

Let $p$ be a rational prime, let $F$ denote a finite, unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, let $K$ be the completion of the maximal unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $\overline{K}$ be some fixed algebraic closure of $K$.…

This version improves the old version entitled "On the modularity of elliptic curves with a residually irreducible representation". Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an abelian totally real field $K$ unramified at 3,5, and 7. We prove that…

The main result of the paper is that if $A$ is an abelian variety over a subfield $F$ of ${\bold C}$, and $A$ has purely multiplicative reduction at a discrete valuation of $F$, then the Hodge group of $A$ is semisimple. Further, we give…

Given a family of abelian covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$ and a prime $p$ of good reduction, by considering the associated Deligne--Mostow Shimura variety, we obtain lower bounds for the Ekedahl-Oort type, and the Newton polygon, at $p$ of the…

We prove results that imply, under various hypotheses, that every elliptic curve over a number field $k$ corresponding to a point on a modular curve has bad reduction at a certain prime $p$ of $\mathcal{O}_k$. For example, every elliptic…

An abelian surface A over a field K has potential quaternionic multiplication if the ring End_\bar K (A) of geometric endomorphisms of A is an order in an indefinite rational division quaternion algebra. In this brief note, we study the…

Given an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over a number field $K$, and a prime $\ell$, the $\ell^n$-torsion points of $A$ give rise to a representation $\rho_{A, \ell^n} : \gal(\bar{K} / K) \to \gl_{2g}(\zz/\ell^n\zz)$. In particular,…

In this article we study the endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties $A$ defined over a given number field $K$ with large cyclic 2-torsion fields. A key step in doing so is to provide criteria for all the endomorphisms of $A$ to be…

Let $A$ be a $g$-dimensional abelian variety over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose adelic Galois representation has open image in $\text{GSp}_{2g} \widehat{\mathbb{Z}}$. We investigate the endomorphism algebras $\text{End}(A_p) \otimes \mathbb{Q} =…
