An abelian surface with constrained 3-power torsion

چکیده
In my talk at the Galois Theoretic Arithmetic Geometry meeting, I described recent joint work with Akio Tamagawa on a finiteness conjecture regarding abelian varieties whose `-power torsion is constrained in a particular fashion. In the current article, we introduce the conjecture and provide some geometric motivation for the problem. We give some examples of the exceptional abelian varieties considered in the conjecture. Finally, we prove a new result – that the set A (Q, 2, 3) of Q-isomorphism classes of dimension 2 abelian varieties with constrained 3-power torsion is non-empty, by demonstrating an explicit element of the set.

Ja n 20 07 EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIC INVARIANTS OF LINKS IN 3 - SPHERE
We present a new link invariant which depends on a representation of the link group in SO(3). The computer calculations indicate that an abelian version of this invariant is expressed in terms of the Alexander polynomial of the link. On the other hand, if we use non abelian representation, we get the squared non abelian Reidemeister torsion (at least for some torus knots). Introduction In this ...
متن کاملSimply Presented Tag Modules
A tag module is a generalization, in any abelian category, of a torsion abelian group. The theory of such modules is developed, it is shown that countably generated tag modules are simply presented, and that Ulm's theorem holds for simply presented tag modules. Zippin's theorem is stated and proved for countably generated tag modules. 1. TAG-modules In the theory of torsion abelian groups, a di...
متن کاملFinite Automata Presentable Abelian Groups
We give new examples of FA presentable torsion-free abelian groups. Namely, for every n > 2, we construct a rank n indecomposable torsion-free abelian group which has an FA presentation. We also construct an FA presentation of the group (Z,+) in which every nontrivial cyclic subgroup is not FA recognizable.
متن کاملDeterminant Bundles for Abelian Schemes
To a symmetric, relatively ample line bundle on an abelian scheme one can associate a linear combination of the determinant bundle and the relative canonical bundle, which is a torsion element in the Picard group of the base. We improve the bound on the order of this element found by Faltings and Chai. In particular, we obtain an optimal bound when the degree of the line bundle d is odd and the...
متن کاملPrimary Decompositions in Varieties of Commutative Diassociative Loops
The decomposition theorem for torsion abelian groups holds analogously for torsion commutative diassociative loops. With this theorem in mind, we investigate commutative diassociative loops satisfying the additional condition (trivially satisfied in the abelian group case) that all nth powers are central, for a fixed n. For n = 2, we get precisely commutative C loops. For n = 3, a prominent var...
