Let [Formula: see text] be a complete discrete valuation field. Let [Formula: see text] be its ring of integers. Let [Formula: see text] be its residue field which we assume to be algebraically closed of characteristic exponent [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a semi-abelian variety. Let [Formula: see text] be its Néron model. The special fiber [Formula: see text] is an extension of the identity component [Formula: see text] by the group of components [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] has split reduction if this extension is split. Whereas [Formula: see text] has always split reduction if [Formula: see text] we prove that it is no longer the case if [Formula: see text] even if [Formula: see text] is tamely ramified. If [Formula: see text] is the Jacobian variety of a smooth proper and geometrically connected curve [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text], we prove that for any tamely ramified extension [Formula: see text] of degree greater than a constant, depending on [Formula: see text] only, [Formula: see text] has split reduction. This answers some questions of Liu and Lorenzini.

Abstract Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic $0$ , with not necessarily perfect residue field of characteristic $p>0$ . We define a Faltings extension of $\mathcal {O}_K$ over $\mathbb {Z}_p$ , and we construct a Hodge-Tate filtration for abelian varieties over K by generalizing Fontaine’s construction [Fon82] where he treated the perfect residue field case.

AbstractLet K be a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0,p) with a perfect residue field k. For a semi-stable scheme over the ring of integers OK of K or, more generally, for a log smooth scheme of semi-stable type over k, we define nearby cycles as a single 𝒟-module endowed with a monodromy ∂logt, whose cohomology should give the log crystalline cohomology. We also explicitly describe the monodromy filtration of the 𝒟-module with respect to the endomorphism ∂logt, and construct a weight spectral sequence for the cohomology of the nearby cycles.

A field K is called ample if every smooth K-curve that has a K-rational point has infinitely many of them. We prove two theorems to support the following conjecture, which is inspired by classical infinite rank results: Every non-zero Abelian variety A over an ample field K which is not algebraic over a finite field has infinite rank. First, the ℤ(p)-module A(K) ⊗ ℤ(p) is not finitely generated, where p is the characteristic of K. In particular, the conjecture holds for fields of characteristic zero. Second, if K is an infinite finitely generated field and S is a finite set of local primes of K, then every Abelian variety over K acquires infinite rank over certain subfields of the maximal totally S-adic Galois extension of K. This strengthens a recent infinite rank result of Geyer and Jarden.

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.

AbstractWe say that an abelian variety over a p-adic field K has anisotropic reduction (AR) if the special fiber of its Néronminimal model does not contain a nontrivial split torus. This includes all abelian varieties with potentially good reduction and, in particular, those with complex or quaternionic multiplication. We give a bound for the size of the K-rational torsion subgroup of a g-dimensional AR variety depending only on g and the numerical invariants of K (the absolute ramification index and the cardinality of the residue field). Applying these bounds to abelian varieties over a number field with everywhere locally anisotropic reduction, we get bounds which, as a function of g, are close to optimal. In particular, we determine the possible cardinalities of the torsion subgroup of an AR abelian surface over the rational numbers, up to a set of 11 values which are not known to occur. The largest such value is 72.

We give a new proof for a theorem of Ziv Ran which generalizes some results of Matsusaka and Hoyt. These results provide criteria for an Abelian variety to be a Jacobian or a product of Jacobians. The advantage of our method is that it works in arbitrary characteristic.

Let G be the product of an abelian variety and a torus defined over a number field K. The aim of this paper is detecting the dependence among some given rational points of G by studying their reductions modulo all primes of K. We show that if some simple conditions on the order of the reductions of the points are satisfied then there must be a dependency relation over the ring of K-endomorphisms of G. We generalize Larsen's result on the support problem to several points on products of abelian varieties and tori.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a field $k$. Let $R:=\operatorname{End}E$. There is a functor $\mathscr{H}\!\mathit{om}_{R}(-,E)$ from the category of finitely presented torsion-free left $R$-modules to the category of abelian varieties isogenous to a power of $E$, and a functor $\operatorname{Hom}(-,E)$ in the opposite direction. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions on $E$ for these functors to be equivalences of categories. We also prove a partial generalization in which $E$ is replaced by a suitable higher-dimensional abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$.

We study questions surrounding cup-product maps which arise from pairs of non-degenerate line bundles on an abelian variety. Important to our work is Mumford's index theorem which we use to prove that non-degenerate line bundles exhibit positivity analogous to that of ample line bundles. As an application we determine the asymptotic behavior of families of cup-product maps and prove that vector bundles associated to these families are asymptotically globally generated. To illustrate our results we provide several examples. For instance, we construct families of cup-product problems which result in a zero map on a one-dimensional locus. We also prove that the hypothesis of our results can be satisfied, in all possible instances, by a particular class of simple abelian varieties. Finally, we discuss the extent to which Mumford's theta groups are applicable in our more general setting.

AbstractFor a closedd-dimensional subvarietyXof an abelian varietyAand a canonically metrized line bundleLonA, Chambert-Loir has introduced measuresc1(L∣X)∧don the Berkovich analytic space associated toAwith respect to the discrete valuation of the ground field. In this paper, we give an explicit description of these canonical measures in terms of convex geometry. We use a generalization of the tropicalization related to the Raynaud extension ofAand Mumford’s construction. The results have applications to the equidistribution of small points.
