Large Rational Torsion on Abelian Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
A method of searching for large rational torsion on Abelian varieties is described. A few explicit applications of this method over Q give rational 11and 13-torsion in dimension 2, and rational 29-torsion in dimension 4.

Sequences of Rational Torsions on Abelian Varieties
We address the question of how fast the available rational torsion on abelian varieties over Q increases with dimension. The emphasis will be on the derivation of sequences of torsion divisors on hyperelliptic curves. Work of Hellegouarch and Lozach (and Klein) may be made explicit to provide sequences of curves with rational torsion divisors of orders increasing linearly with respect to genus....
متن کاملBounds for Torsion on Abelian Varieties with Integral Moduli
We give a function F (d, n, p) such that if K/Qp is a degree n field extension and A/K is a d-dimensional abelian variety with potentially good reduction, then #A(K)[tors] ≤ F (d, n, p). Separate attention is given to the prime-to-p torsion and to the case of purely additive reduction. These latter bounds are applied to classify rational torsion on CM elliptic curves over number fields of degre...
متن کاملA computational approach to the 2-torsion structure of abelian threefolds
Let A be a three-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field K. Using techniques of group theory and explicit computations with Magma, we show that if A has an even number of Fp-rational points for almost all primes p of K, then there exists a K-isogenous A′ which has an even number of K-rational torsion points. We also show that there exist abelian varieties A of all dimensions ≥ 4...
متن کاملWhich Quaternion Algebras Act on a Modular Abelian Variety?
Let A/Q be a modular abelian variety. We establish criteria to prevent a given quaternion algebra over a totally real number field to be the endomorphism algebra of A over Q̄. We accomplish this by analyzing the representation of Gal (Q̄/Q) on the points of N-torsion of A at primes N which ramify in B and by applying descent techniques to certain covers of Shimura varieties. Our result also appli...
متن کاملThe Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural formula and visibility Project description
A fundamental problem of number theory is: given a set of polynomial equations with rational coefficients, find all of its rational solutions and investigate their structure. In many cases, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (henceforth abbreviated BSD conjecture) predicts the existence of such solutions and describes some of their structure without actually finding the solutions. The imp...
