We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.

In this note, we propose the modular height of an abelian variety defined over a field of finite type over Q. Moreover, we prove its finiteness property.

This paper gives a conjectural characterization of those elliptic curves over the field of complex numbers which "should" be covered by standard modular curves. The elliptic curves in question all have algebraic j-invariant, so they can be…

We consider principally polarized abelian varieties with quaternionic multiplication over number fields and we study the field of moduli of their endomorphisms in relation to the set of rational points on suitable Shimura varieties.

We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…

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…

We introduce an invariant of varieties in positive characteristic which generalizes the a-number of an abelian variety. We calculate it in some examples and discuss its meaning for moduli.

In this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of…

To every covering of curves, we associate several varieties having the same field of moduli and same fields of definition. We deduce examples of curves having Q (the field of rationals) as field of moduli, that admit models over any…

We study the distribution of algebraic points on curves in abelian varieties over finite fields.

We estimate the fraction of isogeny classes of abelian varieties over a finite field which have a given characteristic polynomial P(T) modulo l. As an application we find the proportion of isogeny classes of abelian varieties with a…

In this paper, we classify the possible group structures on the set of $R$-valued points of an abelian variety, where $R$ is any real closed field. We make use of a family of abelian varieties that, in effect, allows one to quantify over…

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…

In this survey article, we summarise the known results towards the conjecture: elliptic curves over totally real number fields are modular. For understanding these recent results in the literature, we present some necessary background along…

We determine the maximal dimension of compact subvarieties of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$, and the maximal dimension of a compact subvariety through a very general…

Let F be the cyclotomic field of fifth roots of unity. We computationally investigate modularity of elliptic curves over F.

We provide a generalization of an algebraic linear combination for the trace of certain elliptic modular forms, and through specializing the expression at a suitable pair consisting of an elliptic curve over algebraic number fields and its…

We study base field extensions of ordinary abelian varieties defined over finite fields using the module theoretic description introduced by Deligne. As applications we give algorithms to determine the minimal field of definition of such a…

We prove that any abelian surface defined over $\Q$ of $GL_2$-type having quaternionic multiplication and good reduction at 3 is modular. We generalize the result to higher dimensional abelian varieties with ``sufficiently many…

This paper surveys some applications of moduli theory to issues concerning the distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties. It will appear on the proceedings of the Fano Conference.
