On the Normal Bundles of Rational Space Curves.
Let be a projective Frobenius split variety with a fixed Frobenius splitting . In this paper we give a sharp uniform bound on the number of subvarieties of which are compatibly Frobenius split with . Similarly, we give a bound on the number of prime -ideals of an -finite -pure local ring. Finally, we also give a bound on the number of log canonical centers of a log canonical pair. This final variant extends a special case of a result of Helmke.
We give upper and lower bounds for the number of points on abelian varieties over finite fields, and lower bounds specific to Jacobian varieties. We also determine exact formulas for the maximum and minimum number of points on Jacobian surfaces.
Let A be an abelian variety defined over a finite field. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between the p-rank of A, r(A), and its endomorphism algebra, End0(A). As is well known, End0(A) determines r(A) when A is an elliptic curve. We show that, under some conditions, the value of r(A) and the structure of End0(A) are related. For example, if the center of End0(A) is an abelian extension of Q, then A is ordinary if and only if End0(A) is a commutative field. Nevertheless, we give an example...
