Let $n$ be an integer such that the modular curve $X_0(n)$ is hyperelliptic of genus $\ge2$ and such that the Jacobian of $X_0(n)$ has rank $0$ over $\mathbb Q$. We determine all points of $X_0(n)$ defined over quadratic fields, and we give…

We give a description of endomorphism rings of Weil restrictions of abelian varieties with respect to finite Galois extensions. The results are applied to study the isogeny decomposition of Weil restrictions.

A superspecial curve is a (non-singular) curve over a field of positive characteristic whose Jacobian variety is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure. It is known that for given genus and…

We give algorithms to compute isomorphism classes of ordinary abelian varieties defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose characteristic polynomial (of Frobenius) is square-free and of abelian varieties defined over the prime field…

We show that the Mordell Weil rank of an isotrivial abelian variety with a cyclic holonomy depends only on the fundamental group of the complement to the discriminant provided the discriminant has singularities in the introduced here CM…

We prove that if a curve of a non-isotrivial family of abelian varieties over a curve contains infinitely many isogeny orbits of a finitely generated subgroup of a simple abelian variety then it is special.

Let A be an isogeny class of abelian surfaces over F_q with Weil polynomial x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + aqx + q^2. We show that A does not contain a surface that has a principal polarization if and only if a^2 - b = q and b < 0 and all prime…

We study the number of rational points of smooth projective curves over finite fields in some relative situations in the spirit of a previous paper from an euclidean point of vue. We prove some kinds of relative Weil bounds, derived from…

Suppose X is a (smooth projective irreducible algebraic) curve over a finite field k. Counting the number of points on X over all finite field extensions of k will not determine the curve uniquely. Actually, a famous theorem of Tate implies…

Consider a quartic $q$-Weil polynomial $f$. Motivated by equidistribution considerations we define, for each prime $\ell$, a local factor which measures the relative frequency with which $f\bmod \ell$ occurs as the characteristic polynomial…

Weil's theorem gives the most standard bound on the number of points of a curve over a finite field. This bound was improved by Ihara and Oesterl\'e for larger genus. Recently, Hallouin and Perret gave a new point of view on these bounds,…

The Weil pairing on elliptic curves has deep links with discrete logarithm problems. In practice, to better suit the functionalities of cryptosystems, one often needs to modify the original Weil pairing via what is called a distortion map.…

We construct three families of pairs of genus 2 curves over a field K, whose Jacobians are isomorphic as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parameterized by an open subset of the Projective line over K. Our construction is based…

Let K be a CM-field, i.e., a totally complex quadratic extension of a totally real field F. Let X be a g-dimensional abelian variety admitting an algebra embedding of F into the rational endomorphisms of X. Let A be the product of X and…

We present three families of pairs of geometrically non-isomorphic curves whose Jacobians are isomorphic to one another as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parametrized by an open subset of P^1. The first family consists of…

In 2005, Kayal suggested that Schoof's algorithm for counting points on elliptic curves over finite fields might yield an approach to factor polynomials over finite fields in deterministic polynomial time. We present an exposition of his…

We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…

For every finite collection C of abelian varieties over F_q, we produce an explicit upper bound on the genus of curves over F_q whose Jacobians are isogenous to a product of powers of elements of C.

Inspired by the work of Ellenberg, Elsholtz, Hall, and Kowalski, we investigate how the property of the generic fiber of a one-parameter family of abelian varieties being geometrically simple extends to other fibers. In \cite{EEHK09}, the…

Honda and Tate showed that the isogeny classes of abelian varieties of dimension $g$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ are classified in terms of $q$-Weil polynomials of degree $2g$, that is, monic integer polynomials whose set of complex…
