Lattices in Tate modules

Refining a theorem of Zarhin, we prove that, given a g-dimensional abelian variety X and an endomorphism u of X, there exists a matrix A∈M2g(ℤ) such that each Tate module TℓX has a ℤℓ-basis on which the action of u is given by A, and similarly for the covariant Dieudonné module if over a perfect field of characteristic p.

Taylor coefficients of Anderson generating functions and Drinfeld torsion extensions

We generalize our work on Carlitz prime power torsion extension to torsion extensions of Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank. As in the Carlitz case, we give a description of these extensions in terms of evaluations of Anderson generating functions and their hyperderivatives at roots of unity. We also give a direct proof that the image of the Galois representation attached to the [Formula: see text]-adic Tate module lies in the [Formula: see text]-adic points of the motivic Galois group. This is a generalization of the corresponding result of Chang and Papanikolas for the [Formula: see text]-adic case.

Note on linear relations in Galois cohomology and étale K-theory of curves

In this paper, we investigate a local to global principle for Galois cohomology of number fields with coefficients in the Tate module of an abelian variety. In [G. Banaszak and P. Krasoń, On a local to global principle in étale K-groups of curves, J. K-Theory Appl. Algebra Geom. Topol. 12 (2013) 183–201], G. Banaszak and the author obtained the sufficient condition for the validity of the local to global principle for étale [Formula: see text]-theory of a curve. This condition in fact has been established by means of an analysis of the corresponding problem in the Galois cohomology. We show that in some cases, this result is the best possible i.e. if this condition does not hold we obtain counterexamples. We also give some examples of curves and their Jacobians. Finally, we prove the dynamical version of the local to global principle for étale [Formula: see text]-theory of a curve. The dynamical local to global principle for the groups of Mordell–Weil type has recently been considered by S. Barańczuk in [S. Barańczuk, On a dynamical local-global principle in Mordell-Weil type groups, Expo. Math. 35(2) (2017) 206–211]. We show that all our results remain valid for Quillen [Formula: see text]-theory of [Formula: see text] if the Bass and Quillen–Lichtenbaum conjectures hold true for [Formula: see text]

INTEGRAL AND ADELIC ASPECTS OF THE MUMFORD–TATE CONJECTURE

Let $Y$ be an abelian variety over a subfield $k\subset \mathbb{C}$ that is of finite type over $\mathbb{Q}$. We prove that if the Mumford–Tate conjecture for $Y$ is true, then also some refined integral and adelic conjectures due to Serre are true for $Y$. In particular, if a certain Hodge-maximality condition is satisfied, we obtain an adelic open image theorem for the Galois representation on the (full) Tate module of $Y$. We also obtain an (unconditional) adelic open image theorem for K3 surfaces. These results are special cases of a more general statement for the image of a natural adelic representation of the fundamental group of a Shimura variety.

A support theorem for the Hitchin fibration: the case of

We prove that the direct image complex for the $D$-twisted $\text{SL}_{n}$ Hitchin fibration is determined by its restriction to the elliptic locus, where the spectral curves are integral. The analogous result for $\text{GL}_{n}$ is due to Chaudouard and Laumon. Along the way, we prove that the Tate module of the relative Prym group scheme is polarizable, and we also prove $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$-regularity results for some auxiliary weak abelian fibrations.

Integral Tate modules and splitting of primes in torsion fields of elliptic curves

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve over a finite field [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] a prime number different from the characteristic of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the structure of the Tate module [Formula: see text] as an integral Galois representations of [Formula: see text]. We indicate an explicit procedure to solve this problem starting from the characteristic polynomial [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]-invariant [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. Hilbert Class Polynomials of imaginary quadratic orders play an important role here. We give a global application to the study of prime-splitting in torsion fields of elliptic curves over number fields.

Sato–Tate distributions and Galois endomorphism modules in genus 2

For an abelian surface A over a number field k, we study the limiting distribution of the normalized Euler factors of the L-function of A. This distribution is expected to correspond to taking characteristic polynomials of a uniform random matrix in some closed subgroup of USp(4); this Sato–Tate group may be obtained from the Galois action on any Tate module of A. We show that the Sato–Tate group is limited to a particular list of 55 groups up to conjugacy. We then classify A according to the Galois module structure on the ℝ-algebra generated by endomorphisms of $A_{{\overline {\mathbb Q}}}$ (the Galois type), and establish a matching with the classification of Sato–Tate groups; this shows that there are at most 52 groups up to conjugacy which occur as Sato–Tate groups for suitable A and k, of which 34 can occur for k=ℚ. Finally, we present examples of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves exhibiting each Galois type (over ℚ whenever possible), and observe numerical agreement with the expected Sato–Tate distribution by comparing moment statistics.

Galois-theoretic characterization of isomorphism classes of monodromically full hyperbolic curves of genus zero

Let l be a prime number. In this paper, we prove that the isomorphism class of an l-monodromically full hyperbolic curve of genus zero over a finitely generated extension of the field of rational numbers is completely determined by the kernel of the natural pro-l outer Galois representation associated to the hyperbolic curve. This result can be regarded as a genus zero analogue of a result due to Mochizuki which asserts that the isomorphism class of an elliptic curve which does not admit complex multiplication over a number field is completely determined by the kernels of the natural Galois representations on the various finite quotients of its Tate module.
