Let K be a p-adic field and let F and G be two formal groups over O_K. We prove that if F and G have infinitely many torsion points in common, then F=G. This follows from a rigidity result: any bounded power series that sends infinitely…

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell--Lang conjecture of the author's $p$-adic formal Manin--Mumford results for $n$-dimensional $p$-divisible formal groups $\mathcal{F}$. In particular, given a finitely generated…

It is often the case that a Selmer group of an abelian variety and a group related to an ideal class group can both be naturally embedded into the same cohomology group. One hopes to compute one from the other by finding how close each is…

Fix an abelian variety $A_0$ and a non-isotrivial abelian scheme over a smooth irreducible curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. Consider the union of all images of translates of a fixed finite-rank subgroup of $A_0$, also defined…

In this paper, we construct a class of $2$-dimensional formal groups over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ that provide a higher-dimensional analogue of the usual $1$-dimensional Lubin-Tate formal groups, then we initiate the study of the extensions…

We show that the rings of invariants for the three dimensional modular representations of an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank four are complete intersections with embedding dimension at most five. Our results confirm the conjectures of…

In 1983 Silverman and Tate showed that the set of points in a 1-dimensional family of abelian varieties where a section of infinite order has `small height' is finite. We conjecture a generalisation to higher-dimensional families, where we…

Two abelian varieties $A_1, A_2$ over a number field $K$ are called strongly iso-Kummerian if the torsion fields $K(A_1[d])$ and $K(A_2[d])$ coincide for all $d \geq 1$. For all $g \geq 4$ we construct geometrically simple, strongly…

Fix a prime number $\ell$. Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of $\ell$ are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties over a…

We study the Brauer group of an abelian variety A over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p focusing on the p-primary torsion, the key part of which is a certain quasi-algebraic unipotent group U_A. We determine its dimension…

Given a principally polarized abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, the $p$ torsion $A[p]$ is a finite flat $p$-torsion group scheme of rank $p^{2g}$. There are exactly $2^g$…

We exhibit infinite, solvable, virtually abelian groups with a fixed number of generators, having arbitrarily large balls consisting of torsion elements. We also provide a sequence of 3-generator non-virtually nilpotent polycyclic groups of…

Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…

In this short note we determine the set $\Phi^\infty(7)$ of Abelian groups that appear as torsion groups of infinitely many elliptic curves (up to $\overline \mathbb Q$-isomorphism) over number fields of degree 7.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. When $A$ is isogenous to a product of simple abelian…

Consider the Bianchi groups, namely the SL_2 groups over rings of imaginary quadratic integers. In the literature, there has been so far no example of p-torsion in the integral homology of the full Bianchi groups, for p a prime greater than…

The isomorphism and quasi-isomorphism relations on the $p$-local torsion-free abelian groups of rank $n\geq3$ are incomparable with respect to Borel reducibility.

We initiate a study of the rings of invariants of modular representations of elementary abelian p-groups. With a few notable exceptions, the modular representation theory of an elementary abelian p-group is wild. However, for a given…

Given an integer $D$ and an ordinary isogeny class of abelian varieties defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with commutative $\mathbb{F}_q$-endomorphism algebra, we provide algorithms for computing all isogenies of degree dividing…

Consider a Jacobian elliptic surface $E \to C$ with a section $P$ of infinite order. Previous work of the first author and Urz\'ua over the complex numbers gives a bound on the number of tangencies between $P$ and a torsion section of $E$…
