AbstractThe theory of isogeny estimates for Abelian varieties provides ‘additive bounds’ of the form ‘d is at most B’ for the degrees d of certain isogenies. We investigate whether these can be improved to ‘multiplicative bounds’ of the form ‘d divides B’. We find that in general the answer is no (Theorem 1), but that sometimes the answer is yes (Theorem 2). Further we apply the affirmative result to the study of exceptional primes ℒ in connexion with modular Galois representations coming from elliptic curves: we prove that the additive bounds for ℒ of Masser and Wüstholz (1993) can be improved to multiplicative bounds (Theorem 3).

AbstractGiven an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over a number field $K$, and a prime $\ell $, the ${\ell }^{n} $-torsion points of $A$ give rise to a representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{n} } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ( \mathbb{Z} / {\ell }^{n} \mathbb{Z} )$. In particular, we get a mod-$\ell $representation ${\rho }_{A, \ell } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{F} }_{\ell } )$ and an $\ell $-adic representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{\infty } } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{Z} }_{\ell } )$. In this paper, we describe the possible determinants of subquotients of these two representations. These two lists turn out to be remarkably similar.Applying our results in dimension $g= 1$, we recover a generalized version of a theorem of Momose on isogeny characters of elliptic curves over number fields, and obtain, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, a generalization of Mazur’s bound on rational isogenies of prime degree to number fields.

Parity Conjecture

We show that arithmetic local constants attached by Mazur and Rubin to pairs of self-dual Galois representations which are congruent modulo a prime number $p>2$ are compatible with the usual local constants at all primes not dividing $p$ and in two special cases also at primes dividing $p$. We deduce new cases of the $p$-parity conjecture for Selmer groups of abelian varieties with real multiplication (Theorem 4.14) and elliptic curves (Theorem 5.10).

Rank One

Drinfeld modules and [Formula: see text]-motives are the function field analogs of elliptic curves and abelian varieties. For both Drinfeld modules and [Formula: see text]-motives, one can construct their [Formula: see text]-adic Galois representations and ask whether the images are open. For Drinfeld modules, this question has been answered by Richard Pink and his co-authors; however, this question has not been addressed for [Formula: see text]-motives. Here, we clarify the rank-one case for [Formula: see text]-motives and show that the image of Galois is open if and only if the virtual dimension is prime to the characteristic of the ground field.

Arithmetic Surface

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over an arithmetic surface, one obtains a lisse $\ell$-adic sheaf of rank two over the surface. This lisse sheaf has a number of straightforward properties: cyclotomic determinant, finite ramification, rational traces of Frobenius elements, and somewhere not potentially good reduction. We prove that any lisse sheaf of rank two possessing these properties comes from an elliptic curve.

Quadratic Twists

In this paper we study the variation of the $p$-Selmer rank parities of $p$-twists of a principally polarized Abelian variety over an arbitrary number field $K$ and show, under certain assumptions, that this parity is periodic with an explicit period. Our result applies in particular to principally polarized Abelian varieties with full $K$-rational $p$-torsion subgroup, arbitrary elliptic curves, and Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. Assuming the Shafarevich–Tate conjecture, our result allows one to classify the rank parities of all quadratic twists of an elliptic or hyperelliptic curve after a finite calculation.
