  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Arithmetic of abelian varieties
In mathematics, the arithmetic of abelian varieties is the study of the number theory of an abelian variety, or family of those.
Most of these can be posed for an abelian variety A over a number field K; or more generally (for global fields or more general finitely-generated rings or fields).
In mathematics, the Weil-Châtelet group of an abelian variety A defined over a field K is the abelian group of principal homogeneous spaces for A, defined over K. It is named for André Weil, who introduced the general group operation in it, and F. Châtelet.

 Abelian variety of CM-type   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In mathematics, an abelian variety A defined over a field K is said to have CM-type if it has a large enough commutative subring in its endomorphism ring End(A).
There are other cases that reflect that A may not be a simple abelian variety (it might be a cartesian product of elliptic curves, for example).
The possible types of endomorphism ring have been classified, as rings with involution (the Rosati involution), leading to a classification of CM-type abelian varieties.

A Kuga fiber variety f : A → V is an abelian scheme parametrized by an arithmetic variety and constructed from a symplectic representation of an algebraic group.
The principal result of this paper is that if A → V is a Kuga fiber variety defined by a Q-irreducible representation satisfying a certain rigidity condition, and if the generic fibers are principal abelian varieties, then Bot A is an abelian extension of Bot V.
We prove the general Hodge conjecture for any complex abelian variety of CM-type such that the Hodge ring of each power of the abelian variety is generated by divisors.

Abelian varieties, even abelian surfaces, are more complicated than elliptic curves and there isn't anything general like the Weierstrass cubic equation.
For instance, not all abelian surfaces can be embedded in P^4, and if you want to know which ones can, and how, you will have to learn about the Horrocks-Mumford bundle.
There are results about equations defining abelian varieties but they are not simple to state.

Let $A$ be a semistable abelian variety defined over ${\bf Q}$ with bad reduction only at one prime $p$.
We study the varieties $A$ for which $H={\rm Gal(L/F)}$ is ``small" in the sense that $H$ is an $\ell$-group or, more generally, that $H$ is nilpotent.
The Jacobian of the modular curve $X_0(41)$ is a simple semistable abelian variety of dimension 3, with bad reduction only at $p=41$ and the Galois group of its 2-division field is a 2-group.

In the second part of the talk we discuss the local structure of algebras in locally finite abelian varieties, and we explain why such varieties must be finitely generated.

 Isogeny classes of abelian varieties with no principal polarizations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
We provide a simple method of constructing isogeny classes of abelian varieties over certain fields k such that no variety in the isogeny class has a principal polarization.
We also provide a general framework for determining which finite group schemes occur as kernels of polarizations of abelian varieties in a given isogeny class.
Our construction was inspired by a similar construction of Silverberg and Zarhin; their construction requires that the base field k have positive characteristic and that there be a Galois extension of k with a certain non-abelian Galois group.
