Endomorphism algebras of motives attached to elliptic modular forms

Alexander F. Brown, Eknath P. Ghate (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the endomorphism algebra of the motive attached to a non-CM elliptic modular cusp form. We prove that this algebra has a sub-algebra isomorphic to a certain crossed product algebra X . The Tate conjecture predicts that X is the full endomorphism algebra of the motive. We also investigate the Brauer class of X . For example we show that if the nebentypus is real and p is a prime that does not divide the level, then the local behaviour of X at a place lying above p is essentially determined...

Equations of hyperelliptic modular curves

Josep Gonzalez Rovira (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We compute, in a unified way, the equations of all hyperelliptic modular curves. The main tool is provided by a class of modular functions introduced by Newman in 1957. The method uses the action of the hyperelliptic involution on the cusps.

Fields of definition of -curves

Jordi Quer (2001)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let C be a -curve with no complex multiplication. In this note we characterize the number fields K such that there is a curve C ' isogenous to C having all the isogenies between its Galois conjugates defined over K , and also the curves C ' isogenous to C defined over a number field K such that the abelian variety Res K / ( C ' / K ) obtained by restriction of scalars is a product of abelian varieties of GL 2 -type.

Fundamental domains for Shimura curves

David R. Kohel, Helena A. Verrill (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

We describe a process for defining and computing a fundamental domain in the upper half plane of a Shimura curve X 0 D ( N ) associated with an order in a quaternion algebra A / 𝐐 . A fundamental domain for X 0 D ( N ) realizes a finite presentation of the quaternion unit group, modulo units of its center. We give explicit examples of domains for the curves X 0 6 ( 1 ) , X 0 15 ( 1 ) , and X 0 35 ( 1 ) . The first example is a classical example of a triangle group and the second is a corrected version of that appearing in the book of Vignéras [13], due to Michon....

Galois orbits and equidistribution: Manin-Mumford and André-Oort.

Andrei Yafaev (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We overview a unified approach to the André-Oort and Manin-Mumford conjectures based on a combination of Galois-theoretic and ergodic techniques. This paper is based on recent work of Klingler, Ullmo and Yafaev on the André-Oort conjecture, and of Ratazzi and Ullmo on the Manin-Mumford conjecture.

Galois theory and torsion points on curves

Matthew H. Baker, Kenneth A. Ribet (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper, we survey some Galois-theoretic techniques for studying torsion points on curves. In particular, we give new proofs of some results of A. Tamagawa and the present authors for studying torsion points on curves with “ordinary good” or “ordinary semistable” reduction at a given prime. We also give new proofs of : (1) the Manin-Mumford conjecture : there are only finitely many torsion points lying on a curve of genus at least 2 embedded in its jacobian by an Albanese map; and (2) the...

Hauteur des correspondances de Hecke

Pascal Autissier (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

L’objectif de cet article est de mesurer la complexité arithmétique de la courbe modulaire X 0 ( N ) en fonction du niveau N . Pour ce faire, on utilise un morphisme fini (de degré 1 sur son image) de X 0 ( N ) vers une variété fixe X ( 1 ) × X ( 1 ) et on calcule la hauteur au sens d’Arakelov de l’image T N de ce morphisme. La hauteur employée est directement reliée à la hauteur de Faltings des courbes elliptiques. On a besoin pour cela de considérer une théorie d’Arakelov pour les faisceaux inversibles hermitiens L 1 2 -singuliers (au...
