The Arithmetic Theory of Local Constants for abelian Varieties
Let A be an abelian variety with commutative endomorphism algebra over a finite field k. The k-isogeny class of A is uniquely determined by a Weil polynomial f A without multiple roots. We give a classification of the groups of k-rational points on varieties from this class in terms of Newton polygons of f A(1 − t).
We study a moduli space for Artin-Schreier curves of genus over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study the stratification of by -rank into strata of Artin-Schreier curves of genus with -rank exactly . We enumerate the irreducible components of and find their dimensions. As an application, when , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic -curves with genus and -rank has dimension . We also determine all pairs for...
In recent papers we proved a special case of a variant of Pink’s Conjecture for a variety inside a semiabelian scheme: namely for any curve inside anything isogenous to a product of two elliptic schemes. Here we go beyond the elliptic situation by settling the crucial case of any simple abelian surface scheme defined over the field of algebraic numbers, thus confirming an earlier conjecture of Shou-Wu Zhang. This is of particular relevance in the topic, also in view of very recent counterexamples...
