Arithmetic differential equations in several variables
We survey recent work on arithmetic analogues of ordinary and partial differential equations.

Let be a cubic, monic and separable polynomial over a field of characteristic and let be the elliptic curve given by . In this paper we prove that the coefficient at in the –th division polynomial of equals the coefficient at in . For elliptic curves over a finite field of characteristic , the first coefficient is zero if and only if is supersingular, which by a classical criterion of Deuring (1941) is also equivalent to the vanishing of the second coefficient. So the zero loci...
For a smooth and proper curve over the fraction field of a discrete valuation ring , we explain (under very mild hypotheses) how to equip the de Rham cohomology with a canonical integral structure: i.e., an -lattice which is functorial in finite (generically étale) -morphisms of and which is preserved by the cup-product auto-duality on . Our construction of this lattice uses a certain class of normal proper models of and relative dualizing sheaves. We show that our lattice naturally...
We investigate Grothendieck’s pairing on component groups of abelian varieties from the viewpoint of rigid uniformization theory. Under the assumption that the pairing is perfect, we show that the filtrations, as introduced by Lorenzini and in a more general way by Bosch and Xarles, are dual to each other. Furthermore, the methods yield some progress on the perfectness of the pairing itself, in particular, for abelian varieties with potentially multiplicative reduction.
