Consider the families of curves $C^{n,A}:y²=xⁿ+Ax$ and $C_{n,A}:y²=xⁿ+A$ where A is a nonzero rational. Let $J^{n,A}$ and $J_{n,A}$ denote their respective Jacobian varieties. The torsion points of $C^{3,A}\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)$ and $C_{3,A}\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)$ are well known. We show that for any nonzero rational A the torsion subgroup of $J^{7,A}\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)$ is a 2-group, and for A ≠ 4a⁴,-1728,-1259712 this subgroup is equal to $J^{7,A}\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)\left[2\right]$ (for a excluded values of A, with the possible exception of A = -1728, this group has a point of order 4). This is a variant of the corresponding results for $J^{3,A}$ (A ≠ 4) and $J^{5,A}$. We also almost...

Soient $X$ une variété abélienne sur un corps de nombres $E$ et $G$ son groupe de Mumford–Tate. Soit $v$ une valuation de $E$ et pour tout nombre premier $\ell$ tel que $v\left(\ell \right)=0$, soit $F_{\ell }\in G({\mathbf{Q}}_{\ell })$ l’automorphisme de Frobenius (géométrique) de la cohomologie étale $\ell$-adique de $X$. On montre que si $X$ a une bonne réduction ordinaire en $v$, alors il existe $F\in G\left(\mathbf{Q}\right)$ tel que, pour tout $\ell$, $F_{\ell }$ soit conjugué à $F$ dans $G\left({\mathbf{Q}}_{\ell }\right)$. On montre un résultat analogue pour le frobenius de la cohomologie cristalline de la réduction de $X$ modulo $v$.

Let $M$ be a family of Mumford-type, that is, a family of polarized complex abelian fourfolds as introduced by Mumford in [9]. This family is defined starting from a quaternion algebra $A$ over a real cubic number field and imposing a condition to the corestriction of such $A$. In this paper, under some extra conditions on the algebra $A$, we make this condition explicit and in this way we are able to describe the polarization and the complex structures of the fibers. Then, we look at the non simple $CM$-fibers...
