For any finite group G and integer i, let $\mathcal{H}^i(G)$ be the set of all the isomorphism classes of the Galois cohomology groups $\hat{H}^i(K/k,E_K)$, where K/k runs over all the unramified G-extension of number fields and E_K denotes…
We show that every non-trivial ordered abelian group $G$ is augmentable by infinite elements, i.e., we have $G\preccurlyeq H\oplus G$ for some non-trivial ordered abelian group $H$. As an application, we show that when $k$ is a field of…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety with commutative endomorphism algebra over a finite field $k$. The $k$-isogeny class of $A$ is uniquely determined by a Weil polynomial $f_A$ without multiple roots. We give a classification of the groups of…
Let $P$ be a finite $p$-group and $p$ be an odd prime. Let $\mathcal{A}_p(P)_{\geq2}$ be a poset consisting of elementary abelian subgroups of rank at least 2. If the derived subgroup $P'\cong C_p\times C_p$, then the spheres occurring in…
We consider the local-global principle for divisibility in the Mordell-Weil group of a CM elliptic curve defined over a number field. For each prime $p$ we give sharp lower bounds on the degree $d$ of a number field over which there exists…
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…
We study the rationality properties of the moduli space $\mathcal{A}_g$ of principally polarised abelian $g$-folds over $\mathbb{Q}$ and apply the results to arithmetic questions. In particular we show that any principally polarised abelian…
For a number field K and a finite abelian group G, we determine the probabilities of various local completions of a random G-extension of K when extensions are ordered by conductor. In particular, for a fixed prime p of K, we determine the…
We consider the following question : given a family over abelian varieties $\mathcal{A}$ over a curve $B$ defined over a number field $k$, how does the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the fibres $\mathcal{A}_t(k)$ vary? A specialisation…
We show that polarisations of type (1,...,1,2g+2) on g-dimensional abelian varieties are $\it{never}$ very ample, if $g\geq 3$. This disproves a conjecture of Debarre, Hulek and Spandaw. We also give a criterion for non-embeddings of…
We coin the term \emph{$T$-trivial varieties} to denote smooth proper schemes over ground fields $k$ whose tangent sheaf is free. Over the complex numbers, this are precisely the abelian varieties. However, Igusa observed that in…
Let K be a p-adic field and F the function field of a curve over K. Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over F of classical type. Suppose the prime p is a good prime for G. Then we prove that projective homogeneous spaces under G…
We prove the existence of abelian varieties not isogenous to Jacobians over characterstic $p$ function fields. Our methods involve studying the action of degree $p$ Hecke operators on hypersymmetric points, as well as their effect on the…
Given an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $k$, we say that $A$ is "cyclic" if its group $A(k)$ of rational points is cyclic. In this paper we give a bijection between cyclic abelian varieties of an ordinary isogeny class…
We compute the Picard group of the universal abelian variety over the moduli stack $\mathscr A_{g,n}$ of principally polarized abelian varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ with a symplectic principal level $n$-structure. We then prove that over…
If A and B are abelian varieties over a number field K such that there are non-trivial geometric homomorphisms of abelian varieties between reductions of A and B at most primes of K, then there exists a non-trivial (geometric) homomorphism…
For a prime number $\ell$, an isogeny class $\mathcal{A}$ of abelian varieties is called $\ell$-cyclic if every variety in $\mathcal{A}$ have a cyclic $\ell$-part of its group of rational points. More generally, for a finite set of prime…
Let $K$ be a field which is complete for a discrete valuation. We prove a logarithmic version of the N\'eron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion: if $A$ is an abelian variety over $K$ which is cohomologically tame, then $A$ has good reduction in the…
We extend the decomposition theorem for numerically $K$-trivial varieties with log terminal singularities to the K\"ahler setting. Along the way we prove that all such varieties admit a strong locally trivial algebraic approximation, thus…
Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…
