Rational Points of Abelian Varieties with Values in Towers of Number Fields.
In this paper, we generalize the context of the Mazur-Tate conjecture and sharpen, in a certain way, the statement of the conjecture. Our main result will be to establish the truth of a part of these new sharpened conjectures, provided that one assume the truth of the classical Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures. This is particularly striking in the function field case, where these results can be viewed as being a refinement of the earlier work of Tate and Milne.
In [3] we introduced the concept of strongly modular abelian variety. This note contains some remarks and examples of this kind of varieties, especially for the case of Jacobian surfaces, that complement the results of [3].
The main result of this paper implies that if an abelian variety over a field has a maximal isotropic subgroup of -torsion points all of which are defined over , and , then the abelian variety has semistable reduction away from . This result can be viewed as an extension of Raynaud’s theorem that if an abelian variety and all its -torsion points are defined over a field and , then the abelian variety has semistable reduction away from . We also give information about the Néron models...
