Abstract We show that any Weyl group orbit of weights for the Tannakian group of semisimple holonomic 𝒟 {{\mathscr{D}}} -modules on an abelian variety is realized by a Lagrangian cycle on the cotangent bundle. As applications we discuss a weak solution to the Schottky problem in genus five, an obstruction for the existence of summands of subvarieties on abelian varieties, and a criterion for the simplicity of the arising Lie algebras.

AbstractWe show that the degree of Gauss maps on abelian varieties is semicontinuous in families, and we study its jump loci. As an application we obtain that in the case of theta divisors this degree answers the Schottky problem. Our proof computes the degree of Gauss maps by specialization of Lagrangian cycles on the cotangent bundle. We also get similar results for the intersection cohomology of varieties with a finite morphism to an abelian variety; it follows that many components of Andreotti–Mayer loci, including the Schottky locus, are part of the stratification of the moduli space of ppav’s defined by the topological type of the theta divisor.

The aim of this article is to describe several cubature formulas related to the Weyl group orbit functions, i.e. to the special cases of the Jacobi polynomials associated to root systems. The diagram containing the relations among the special functions associated to the Weyl group orbit functions is presented and the link between the Weyl group orbit functions and the Jacobi polynomials is explicitly derived in full generality. The four cubature rules corresponding to these polynomials are summarized for all simple Lie algebras and their properties simultaneously tested on model functions. The Clenshaw-Curtis method is used to obtain additional formulas connected with the simple Lie algebra <em>C</em><sub>2</sub>.

Weyl group orbit functions are defined in the context of Weyl groups of simple Lie algebras. They are multivariable complex functions possessing remarkable properties such as (anti)invariance with respect to the corresponding Weyl group, continuous and discrete orthogonality. A crucial tool in their definition are so-called sign homomorphisms, which coincide with one-dimensional irreducible representations. In this work we generalize the definition of orbit functions using characters of irreducible representations of higher dimensions. We describe their properties and give examples for Weyl groups of rank 2 and 3.

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.

In [2], we considered a class of Lie algebras generalizing the classical simple Lie algebras. Using a field Φ of characteristic zero and a square matrix (Aij) of integers with the properties (1) Aii = 2, (2) Aij ≦ 0 if i ≠ j, (3) Aij = 0 if and only if Ajt = 0, and (4) is symmetric for some appropriate non-zero rational a Lie algebra E = E((Aij)) over Φ can be constructed, together with the usual accoutrements: a root system, invariant bilinear form, and Weyl group.For indecomposable (A ij), E is simple except when (Aij) is singular and removal of any row and corresponding column of (Aij) leaves a Cartan matrix. The non-simple Es, Euclidean Lie algebras, were our object of study in [3] as well as in the present paper. They are infinite-dimensional, have ascending chain condition on ideals, and proper ideals are of finite codimension.

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.
