Given a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[x]$, we consider the family of superelliptic curves $y^d=f(x)$ and their Jacobians $J_d$ for varying integers $d$. We show that for any integer $g$ the number of abelian varieties up to isogeny of…

An abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic is supersingular if it is isogenous to a product of supersingular elliptic curves and is superspecial if it is isomorphic to a product of…

In this paper we establish a new lattice description for superspecial abelian varieties over a finite field $\mathbb {F}_q$ of $q=p^a$ elements. Our description depends on the parity of the exponent $a$ of $q$. When $q$ is an odd power of…

Degree bounds for algebra generators of invariant rings are a topic of longstanding interest in invariant theory. We study the analogous question for field generators for the field of rational invariants of a representation of a finite…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite nonabelian group $G$. Let $bcl(G)$ be the size of the largest conjugacy class of the group $G$. We show that $|P/O_p(G)| < bcl(G)$ if $G$ is not abelian.

Let $G$ be a $p$-group for some prime $p$. Let $n$ be the positive integer so that $|G:Z(G)| = p^n$. Suppose $A$ is a maximal abelian subgroup of $G$. Let $$p^l = {\rm max} \{|Z(C_G (g)):Z(G)| : g \in G \setminus Z(G)\},$$ $$p^b = {\rm max}…

In this paper, we provide a classification of certain points on Hilbert modular varieties over finite fields under a mild assumption on Newton polygon. Furthermore, we use this characterization to prove estimates for the size of isogeny…

We study the Siegel modular variety $\mathcal{A}_g \otimes \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of genus $g$ and its supersingular locus $\mathcal{S}_g$. As our main result we determine precisely when $\mathcal{S}_g$ is irreducible, and we list all $x$…

For abelian length categories the borderline between finite and infinite representation type is discussed. Characterisations of finite representation type are extended to length categories of infinite height, and the minimal length…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $P$ a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We obtain both asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of odd-degree irreducible complex representations of $G$ in terms of the size of the abelianization of $P$. To do…

Faltings proved that there are finitely many abelian varieties of genus $g$ over a number field $K$, with good reduction outside a finite set of primes $S$. Fixing one of these abelian varieties $A$, we prove that there are finitely many…

Let $C/k$ be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that there are finitely many principally polarized abelian schemes of given dimension $g$ over $C$ up to $p$-power isogeny. For curves over $\overline{k}$, we…

Let $S$ be a class of groups and let $f_S (n)$ be the number of isomorphism classes of groups in $S$ of order $n$. Let $f(n)$ count the number of groups of order $n$ up to isomorphism. The asymptotic bounds for $f(n)$ behave differently…

We consider the moduli space $A_{pol}(n)$ of (non-principally) polarised abelian varieties of genus $g\geq3$ with coprime polarisation and full level-$n$ structure. Based upon the analysis of the Tits building in math/0405321, we give an…
