Let $m\geq3$ be an integer. We show that every torsor of the Jacobian of the universal family of degree-$m$ Fermat curve is necessarily a connected component of the Picard scheme. We show that the Jacobian of the generic degree-$m$ Fermat…
We study the arithmetic of abelian varieties over $K=k(t)$ where $k$ is an arbitrary field. The main result relates Mordell-Weil groups of certain Jacobians over $K$ to homomorphisms of other Jacobians over $k$. Our methods also yield…
Let $K$ be a number field, $n>4$ an integer, $f(x)$ an irreducible polynomial over $K$ of degree $n$, whose Galois group is either the full symmetric group $S_n$ or the alternating group $A_n$. Suppose $C:y^2=f(x)$ is the corresponding…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically connected variety defined over a number field $K$. We prove that the geometric \'etale cohomology of $X$ with $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$-coefficients has finitely many classes invariant under the…
We study Mordell-Weil rank jumps on families of jacobians of a pencil of genus-2 curves on a K3 surface defined over a number field k. We exhibit a finite extension l/k over which the subset of fibers for which the rank jumps is infinite.…
We give uniformizations of the Klein quartic curve and the Fermat septic curve as Shimura curves parametrizing Abelian $6$-folds with endomorphisms $\ZZ[\z_7]$.
Let $\ell$ be an odd prime and $K$ a field of characteristic different from $\ell$. Let $\bar{K}$ be an algebraic closure of $K$. Assume that $K$ contains a primitive $\ell$th root of unity. Let $n \ne \ell$ be another odd prime. Let $f(x)$…
We give a general framework for uniform, constant-time one-and two-dimensional scalar multiplication algorithms for elliptic curves and Jacobians of genus 2 curves that operate by projecting to the x-line or Kummer surface, where we can…
We investigate the growth of the $p$-part of the Jacobians in voltage covers of finite connected multigraphs, where the voltage group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_p^l$ for some ${l \ge 2}$, and we study analogues of a conjecture of…
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])…
We classify Jacobian elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic automorphism $\sigma$ of order 3 according to the action of $\sigma$ on their fibres, building on work by Garbagnati and Salgado for non-symplectic involutions.…
We complete the classification of torsion subgroups $E(K)_{\text{tors}}$ that can occur for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ over a sextic number field $K$. Previous work determined the complete set of these groups, leaving the existence of…
This paper provides a probabilistic algorithm to determine generators of the m-torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve of genus two.
We present results of quadratic Chabauty experiments on genus 2 bielliptic modular curves of Jacobian rank 2 that have recently been added to the LMFDB. We apply quadratic Chabauty methods over both the rationals and quadratic imaginary…
By results of the author there exists a projective (holomorphic) symplectic desingularization of the moduli space of rank-two torsion-free sheaves on a genus-two Jacobian with $c_1=0$ and $c_2=2$. This desingularization has a natural map to…
The main result of [FG20] classifies the 92 geometric endomorphism algebras of geometrically split abelian surfaces defined over Q. We show that 54 of them arise as geometric endomorphism algebras of Jacobians of genus 2 curves defined over…
We find equations for the higher dimensional analogue of the modular curve X_0(3) using Mumford's algebraic formalism of algebraic theta functions. As a consequence, we derive a method for the construction of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves…
Let k=F_q be a finite field of characteristic 2. A genus 3 curve C/k has many involutions if the group of k-automorphisms admits a C_2\times C_2 subgroup H (not containing the hyperelliptic involution if C is hyperelliptic). Then C is an…
This paper is devoted to constructing an explicit efficient representation for the Jacobian variety of a nonsingular curve of genus greater than 1, and its group law. We describe an algorithm for executing the group law on the Jacobian…
Let $C/\mathbb{Q}$ be a genus $2$ curve whose Jacobian $J/\mathbb{Q}$ has real multiplication by a quadratic order in which $7$ splits. We describe an algorithm which outputs twists of the Klein quartic curve which parametrise elliptic…
