Topic: Arithmetic of abelian varieties


  
  Arithmetic of abelian varieties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 terms of the ring End(A) there is a definition of abelian variety of CM-type that singles out the richest class.

For the purposes of algebraic geometry over the complex numbers, an abelian variety is a complex torus (a torus of real dimension 2n that is a complex manifold) that is also a projective algebraic variety of dimension n, i.e.
An abelian function is a meromorphic function on an abelian variety, which may be regarded therefore as a periodic function of n complex variables, having 2n independent periods; equivalently, it is a function in the function field of an abelian variety.
For the purposes of number theory the foundations of the theory of abelian varieties are developed over any field, and in fact using a commutative ring, in order to control the process of reduction mod p.

In case n is 1 thisn'tion is the same as that of elliptic curve, and every complex torus gives rise to such a curve; for n > 1 it has been known since Riemann that the algebraic variety condition imposes extra constraints on a complex torus.
For example there was much interest in the case of hyperelliptic integrals that may be expressed in terms of elliptic integrals: this comes down to asking that J is a product of elliptic curves, up to a finite-to-one mapping.

 Invariants of modular abelian varieties   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Now that the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture has been proved, the main outstanding problem in the field is the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (BSD conjecture), which ties together the arithmetic invariants of an elliptic curve.
Approaches to the BSD conjecture that rely on congruences between modular forms are likely to require a deeper understanding of the analogous conjecture for higher-dimensional abelian varieties.
As a first step, I have obtained theorems that make possible explicit computation of some of the arithmetic invariants of modular abelian varieties.

The case with A an elliptic curve E and K the rational number field Q is Mordell's theorem, answering a question apparently posed by Poincaré around 1908; it was proved by Louis Mordell in 1922.

 Elliptic curve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Elliptic curves are by definition non-singular, meaning they don't have cusps or self-intersections, and a binary operation can be defined for their points in a natural geometric fashion, thus turning the set of points into an abelian group.
One can check that this turns the curve into an abelian group, and thus into an abelian variety.

In this book, Goro Shimura provides the most comprehensive generalizations of this type by stating several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions.
This subject is closely connected with the zeta function of an abelian variety, which is also covered as a main theme in the book.
In particular, this is the first book in which the topics of various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals, as well as the special values of theta and Siegel modular functions, are treated extensively.
