A homological criterion for reducibility of analytic spaces, with application to characterizing the theta divisor of a product of two general principally polarized abelian varieties.
Let be a number field. We consider a local-global principle for elliptic curves that admit (or do not admit) a rational isogeny of prime degree . For suitable (including ), we prove that this principle holds for all , and for , but find a counterexample when for an elliptic curve with -invariant . For we show that, up to isomorphism, this is the only counterexample.
In this paper we apply the results of our previous article on the -adic interpolation of logarithmic derivatives of formal groups to the construction of -adic -functions attached to certain elliptic curves with complex multiplication. Our results are primarily concerned with curves with supersingular reduction.
Let be an abelian variety defined over a number field . In this short Note we give a characterization of the endomorphisms that preserve the height pairing associated to a polarization. We also give a functorial interpretation of this result.
We describe a number of classes in the Picard group of spin moduli space and determine the relations they satisfy; as an application we show that the Picard group in question contains 4-torsion elements.
