We show that, with some technical conditions, an abelian category can be embedded into the category of bimodules over a ring. The case of semisimple rigid monoidal categories is studied in more detail.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $\mathrm E\subset \mathbb C$ and let $\mathbf G$ denote the Mumford--Tate group of $A$. After replacing $\mathrm E$ by a finite extension, the action of the absolute Galois group…

Let $F$ be a totally real field in which a prime number $p>2$ is inert. We continue the study of the (generalized) Goren--Oort strata on quaternionic Shimura varieties over finite extensions of $\mathbb F_p$. We prove that, when the…

We prove that under some conditions on the monodromy, families of abelian covers of the projective line do not give rise to (higher dimensional) Shimura subvarieties in $A_g$. This is achieved by a reduction to $p$ argument. We also use…

We give several formulas for how Iwasawa $\mu$-invariants of abelian varieties over unramified $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extensions of function fields change under isogeny. These are analogues of Schneider's formula in the number field setting. We…

We show, using the trace formula, that any Newton stratum of a Shimura variety of PEL-type of types (A) and (C) is non-empty at the primes of good reduction. Furthermore we prove conditionally the non-emptiness for Shimura data associated…

Assuming the Mumford-Tate conjecture, we show that the center of the endomorphism ring of an abelian variety defined over a number field can be recovered from an appropriate intersection of the fields obtained from its Frobenius…

We prove under some assumptions that the Tate conjecture holds for products of Fermat varieties of different degrees.

In this article, we study local models associated to certain Shimura varieties. In particular, we present a resoultion of their singularities. As a consequence, we are able to determine the alternating semisimple trace of the geometric…

We consider refined conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type for the Hasse-Weil-Artin L-series of abelian varieties over general number fields. We shall, in particular, formulate several new such conjectures and establish their precise…

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…

The second part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture gives a conjectural formula for the order of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve in terms of other computable invariants of the curve. Cremona and Mazur initiated…

We prove that in positive characteristic, the Manin-Mumford conjecture implies the Mordell-Lang conjecture, in the situation where the ambient variety is an abelian variety defined over the function field of a smooth curve over a finite…

We prove the Sato-Tate conjecture for Hilbert modular forms. More precisely, we prove the natural generalisation of the Sato-Tate conjecture for regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of $\GL_2(\A_F)$, $F$ a totally real…

The Shafarevich conjecture for a class of varieties over a number field posits the finitude of those with good reduction outside a finite set of primes. In the case of hypersurfaces in the torus $\mathbb{G}_m^n$, a natural class to consider…

In this paper, we study the Rasmussen-Tamagawa conjecture for abelian varieties with constrained prime power torsion. Previously, Rasmussen and Tamagawa have established the conjecture under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for abelian…

In this paper, we give an equivalent condition for an abelian variety over a finite field to have multiplication by a quaternion algebra over a number field. We prove the result by combining Tate's classification of the endomorphism…

We study a geometric analogue of the Iwasawa Main Conjecture for constant ordinary abelian varieties over $\ZZ_p^d$-extensions of function fields ramifying at a finite set of places.

In their study of local models of Shimura varieties for totally ramified extensions, Pappas and Rapoport posed a conjecture about the reducedness of a certain subscheme of $n \times n$ matrices. We give a positive answer to their conjecture…

Consider a family f:A --> U of g-dimensional abelian varieties over a quasiprojective manifold U. Suppose that the induced map from U to the moduli scheme of polarized abelian varieties is generically finite and that there is a projective…
