We prove that the torsion subgroup of the abelian fundamental group is finite for a regular geometrically integral projective variety over a local field. We also study the structure of $SK_1(X)$ for a regular projective variety $X$ over a…
Let $k\subseteq K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$. Let $\mathscr{G}$ be the automorphism $k$-group scheme of $K$. We construct a canonical $k$-subgroup scheme $\underline{G}\subset\mathscr{G}$ with the property…
For a family of K3 surfaces we implement a variation of a general construction of towers of algebraic curves over finite fields given in a previous paper. As a result we get a good tower over $k=\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, that is optimal if $p=3$.
Let $E/k$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over a global function field $k$ of characteristic $p>3$, and $G\subset \mathrm{Gal}(k^{\mathrm{sep}}/k)$ be a topologically finitely generated subgroup. We prove that if $E/k$ has analytic rank…
Let $F$ be a function field of characteristic $p>0$, $\F/F$ a Galois extension with $Gal(\F/F)\simeq \Z_l^d$ (for some prime $l\neq p$) and $E/F$ a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of Selmer groups $Sel_E(L)_r$ ($r$ any…
Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…
For certain symmetric isogeny $\lambda: A\rightarrow A^\vee$ of abelian varieties over a global field $F$, B. Poonen and E. Rains put an orthogonal quadratic structure on $\mathrm{H}^1(\mathbb{A}_F,A[\lambda])$ and realize the Selmer group…
We consider Hopf Galois structures on a separable field extension $L/K$ of degree $p^n$, for $p$ an odd prime number, $n\geq 3$. For $p > n$, we prove that $L/K$ has at most one abelian type of Hopf Galois structures. For a nonabelian group…
For an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $F$, we prove that the average rank of the quadratic twists of $A$ is bounded, under the assumption that the multiplication-by-3 isogeny on $A$ factors as a composition of 3-isogenies over $F$.…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative…
For a finite abelian p-group A of rank d, we define its (logarithmic) mean exponent to be the base-p logarithm of the d-th root of its cardinality. We study the behavior of the mean exponent of p-class groups in towers of number fields. By…
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…
Let $p$ be a prime, let $K$ be a discretely valued extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $A_{K}$ be an abelian $K$-variety with semistable reduction. Extending work by Kim and Marshall from the case where $p>2$ and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is…
Let $K$ be an extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $A/K$ an elliptic curve. If $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar K/K)$ is finitely generated, then $A$ is of infinite rank over $K$. In particular, this implies the $g=1$ case of the Junker-Koenigsmann conjecture.…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$, and let $\alpha_{1}$, $\alpha_{2}$, ..., $\alpha_{5}$ be algebraically independent and transcendental over $k$. Let $K$ be the transcendental extension of $k$ obtained by adjoining the elementary…
We study the parity of 2-Selmer ranks in the family of quadratic twists of an arbitrary elliptic curve E over an arbitrary number field K. We prove that the fraction of twists (of a given elliptic curve over a fixed number field) having…
We study abelian varieties defined over function fields of curves in positive characteristic $p$, focusing on their arithmetic within the system of Artin-Schreier extensions. First, we prove that the $L$-function of such an abelian variety…
Let $X \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^r$ be a smooth projective variety defined by homogeneous polynomials of degree $\leq d$. We give explicit upper bounds on the order of the torsion subgroup $(\mathrm{NS} \, X)_{\mathrm{tor}}$ of the…
Let A be an abelian variety defined over anumber field F. In this paper, we will investigate the growth of p-rank of the fine Selmer group in three situations. In particular, in each of these situations, we show that there is a strong…
We extend the work of Lai, Longhi, Suzuki, the first two authors and study the change of $\mu$-invariants, with respect to a finite Galois p-extension $K'/K$, of an ordinary abelian variety $A$ over a $\mathbb{Z}_p^d$-extension of global…
