Explicit moduli for curves of genus 2 with real multiplication by ℚ(√5)

John Wilson (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Motivation. Let J₀(N) denote the Jacobian of the modular curve X₀(N) parametrizing pairs of N-isogenous elliptic curves. The simple factors of J₀(N) have real multiplication, that is to say that the endomorphism ring of a simple factor A contains an order in a totally real number field of degree dim A. We shall sometimes abbreviate "real multiplication" to "RM" and say that A has maximal RM by the totally real field F if A has an action of the full ring of integers of F. We say that a...

Explicit Selmer groups for cyclic covers of ℙ¹

Michael Stoll, Ronald van Luijk (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny ϕ: J → J, the Selmer group S e l ϕ ( J , k ) is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group H ¹ ( G a l ( k s / k ) , J [ ϕ ] ) , defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a cyclic cover of ℙ¹ of prime degree p, the Selmer group has a quotient by a subgroup of order at most p that is isomorphic to the ‘fake Selmer group’, whose definition is more amenable to explicit computations. In this paper we define in the same setting the ‘explicit Selmer group’, which is isomorphic...

Generic Newton polygons of Ekedahl-Oort strata: Oort’s conjecture

Shushi Harashita (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties in positive characteristic. In this paper we determine the Newton polygon of any generic point of each Ekedahl-Oort stratum, by proving Oort’s conjecture on intersections of Newton polygon strata and Ekedahl-Oort strata. This result tells us a combinatorial algorithm determining the optimal upper bound of the Newton polygons of principally polarized abelian varieties with a given isomorphism type of p -kernel.
