Some remarks on almost rational torsion points

John Boxall, David Grant (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

For a commutative algebraic group G over a perfect field k , Ribet defined the set of almost rational torsion points G tors , k ar of G over k . For positive integers d , g , we show there is an integer U d , g such that for all tori T of dimension at most d over number fields of degree at most g , T tors , k ar T [ U d , g ] . We show the corresponding result for abelian varieties with complex multiplication, and under an additional hypothesis, for elliptic curves without complex multiplication. Finally, we show that except for an explicit finite...

Sommes de Dedekind elliptiques et formes de Jacobi

Abdelmejid Bayad (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

À partir des formes de Jacobi D L ( z , ϕ ) , on construit une somme de Dedekind elliptique. On obtient ainsi un analogue elliptique aux sommes multiples de Dedekind construites à partir des fonctions cotangentes, étudiées par D. Zagier. En outre, on établit une loi de réciprocité satisfaite par ces nouvelles sommes. Par une procédure de limite, on peut retrouver la loi de réciprocité remplie par les sommes multiples de Dedekind classiques. D’autre part, en les spécialisant en des paramètres de points de 2- division,...

Special values of Hilbert modular functions.

Martin L. Karel (1986)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Recently, Baily has established new foundation for complex multiplication in the context of Hilbert modular functions; see [1]-[4]. However, in his treatment there is a restriction on the class of CM-points treated. Namely, the order of complex multiplications associated to the point must be the maximal order in its quotient field. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to remove the restriction just mentioned; (2) to recover a result of Tate on the conjugates of CM-points by arbitrary Galois...

Specializations of one-parameter families of polynomials

Farshid Hajir, Siman Wong (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a number field, and suppose λ ( x , t ) K [ x , t ] is irreducible over K ( t ) . Using algebraic geometry and group theory, we describe conditions under which the K -exceptional set of λ , i.e. the set of α K for which the specialized polynomial λ ( x , α ) is K -reducible, is finite. We give three applications of the methods we develop. First, we show that for any fixed n 10 , all but finitely many K -specializations of the degree n generalized Laguerre polynomial L n ( t ) ( x ) are K -irreducible and have Galois group S n . Second, we study specializations...
