We study Glois embeddings of K3 surfaces in the case where the Galois groups are abelian. We show several properties of K3 surfaces concerning the Galois embeddings. In particular, if the Galois group G is abelian, then G is isomorphic to…

For every odd prime number p, we give examples of non-constant smooth families of genus 2 curves over fields of characteristic p which have pro-Galois (pro-\'etale) covers of infinite degree with geometrically connected fibers. The…

We study the question of whether algebraic curves of a given genus g defined over a field K must have points rational over the maximal abelian extension K^{ab} of K. We give: (i) an explicit family of diagonal plane cubic curves with…

Consider a finite group $G$ acting on a Riemann surface $S$, and the associated branched Galois cover $\pi_G:S \to Y=S/G$. We introduce the concept of geometric signature for the action of $G$, and we show that it captures the information…

Let $C$ be a genus two hyperelliptic curve over a totally real field $F$. We show that the mod 2 Galois representation $\bar{\rho}_{C,2}\colon\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{F}/F)\to \mathrm{GSp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)$ attached to $C$ is automorphic when the…

To a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field one naturally associates an "anabelian" representation of the absolute Galois group of the base field landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group. In this…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$ and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $K$, defined either by an equation of the form $y^{2} = f(x)$ with degree $3$ or as the Jacobian of a curve defined by an equation of the form…

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…

Given a rational variety $V$ defined over $K$, we consider a principally polarized abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ defined over $V$. For each prime l we then consider the galois representation on the $l$-torsion of $A_t$, where $t$ is…

A lot of work has gone into computing images of Galois representations coming from elliptic curves. This article presents an algorithm to determine the image of the mod-$3$ Galois representation associated to a principally polarized abelian…

We address the question of existence of absolutely simple abelian varieties of dimension 2 with everywhere good reduction over quadratic fields. The emphasis will be given to the construction of pairs $(K,C)$, where $K$ is a quadratic…

We outline a general algorithm for computing an explicit model over a number field of any curve of genus 2 whose (unpolarized) Jacobian is isomorphic to the product of two elliptic curves with CM by the same order in an imaginary quadratic…

Given a genus two curve $X: y^2 = x^5 + a x^3 + b x^2 + c x + d$, we give an explicit parametrization of all other such curves $Y$ with a specified symplectic isomorphism on three-torsion of Jacobians $\mbox{Jac}(X)[3] \cong…

Suppose that C is a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve of genus g > 2 defined over a number field K. Suppose that x is a K-rational point of C. Denote the Lie algebra of the unipotent completion (over Q_ell) of the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $e_p$ be its irregularity index. If $4e_p+8 <\frac{p-1}{2}$ we construct a Galois representation with image in the diagonal torus of $\op{GSp}_4(\Fp)$ that lifts to a characteristic $0$ representation unramified…

Given an elliptic curve $E/k$ and a Galois extension $k'/k$, we construct an exact functor from torsion-free modules over the endomorphism ring ${\rm End}(E_{k'})$ with a semilinear ${\rm Gal}(k'/k)$ action to abelian varieties over $k$…

We prove that the Galois action on the exceptional curves on the generic del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ is maximal for all degrees $d$ and over any field $k$. As a consequence of the case $d=3$, we deduce that over $\mathbb{F}_q(u)$, 100%…

The main result of this paper is a characterization of the abelian varieties $B/K$ defined over Galois number fields with the property that the zeta function $L(B/K;s)$ is equivalent to the product of zeta functions of non-CM newforms for…

We study a symplectic variant of algebraic $K$-theory of the integers, which comes equipped with a canonical action of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbf{Q}$. We compute this action explicitly. The representations we see are extensions…
