Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over a number field $k$, $X/k(C)$ a smooth projective curve of positive genus, $J_X$ the Jacobian variety of $X$ and $(tau,B)$ the $k(C)/k$-trace of $J_X$. We estimate how the rank of $J_X(k(C))/tau B(k)$ varies when we take an unramified abelian cover $pi:Cto C$ defined over $k$.
Given a natural number n and a number field K, we show the existence of an integer ell_0 such that for any prime number ellgeq ell_0, there exists a finite extension F/K, unramified in all places above ell, together with a principally polarized abelian variety A of dimension n over F such that the resulting ell-torsion representation rho_{A,ell} from G_F to GSp(A[ell](bar{F})) is surjective and everywhere tamely ramified. In particular, we realize GSp_{2n}(mathbb{F}_ell) as the Galois group of a finite tame extension of number fields F/F such that F is unramified above ell.
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $q$, $cac$ a smooth geometrically connected curve defined over $k$ with function field $K:=k(cac)$. Let $A/K$ be a non constant abelian variety defined over $K$ of dimension $d$. We assume that $q=0$ or $>2d+1$. Let $p e q$ be a prime number and $cactocac$ a finite geometrically textsc{Galois} and etale cover defined over $k$ with function field $K:=k(cac)$. Let $(tau,B)$ be the $K/k$-trace of $A/K$. We give an upper bound for the $bbz_p$-corank of the textsc{Selmer} group $text{Sel}_p(Atimes_KK)$, defined in terms of the $p$-descent map. As a consequence, we get an upper bound for the $bbz$-rank of the textsc{Lang-Neron} group $A(K)/tauB(k)$. In the case of a geometric tower of curves whose textsc{Galois} group is isomorphic to $bbz_p$, we give sufficient conditions for the textsc{Lang-Neron} group of $A$ to be uniformly bounded along the tower.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $mathbb{F}_q$ with function field $K$, $E/K$ a nonconstant elliptic curve and $phi:mathcal{E}to C$ its minimal regular model. For each $Pin C$ such that $E$ has good reduction at $P$, i.e., the fiber $mathcal{E}_P=phi^{-1}(P)$ is smooth, the eigenvalues of the zeta-function of $mathcal{E}_P$ over the residue field $kappa_P$ of $P$ are of the form $q_P^{1/2}e^{itheta_P},q_{P}e^{-itheta_P}$, where $q_P=q^{deg(P)}$ and $0letheta_Plepi$. The goal of this note is to determine given an integer $Bge 1$, $alpha,betain[0,pi]$ the number of $Pin C$ where the reduction of $E$ is good and such that $deg(P)le B$ and $alphaletheta_Plebeta$.
We prove the generic exclusion of certain Shimura varieties of unitary and orthogonal types from the Torelli locus. The proof relies on a slope inequality on surface fibration due to G. Xiao, and the main result implies that certain Shimura varieties only meet the Torelli locus in dimension zero.
Let $[X,lambda]$ be a principally polarized abelian variety over a finite field with commutative endomorphism ring; further suppose that either $X$ is ordinary or the field is prime. Motivated by an equidistribution heuristic, we introduce a factor $ u_v([X,lambda])$ for each place $v$ of $mathbb Q$, and show that the product of these factors essentially computes the size of the isogeny class of $[X,lambda]$. The derivation of this mass formula depends on a formula of Kottwitz and on analysis of measures on the group of symplectic similitudes, and in particular does not rely on a calculation of class numbers.
