Apr 1, 2020 at 8:22 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Does this answer all your questions? If so, then I can make the above comments into an answer.
Apr 1, 2020 at 8:21 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar ...This means that images of rational maps of abelian varieties are images of morphisms of abelian varieties. But these images are translates of subabelian varieties (by closed points!) of $A $ because morphisms of abelian varieties are homomorphisms up to translation.
Apr 1, 2020 at 8:21 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Finally, I claim that Sp(X) equals the "groupless-exceptional locus" as defined in Definition 12.4. of arxiv.org/abs/2002.11981 . To prove this, you have to combine some of the statements in arxiv.org/abs/1909.12187 with the following fact: If $B$ is an abelian variety and $B\dashrightarrow X$ is a rational map, then $B\dashrightarrow X$ is a morphism (i.e., everywhere defined). (This is because $B$ is smooth and $X$ has no rational curves.) ..con'd below
Apr 1, 2020 at 8:17 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar If you want to avoid using the fact that Sp(X) is closed, you will have to think a bit harder. I will look into it once I have some more time if you really want to know if it is possible to argue without using that Sp(X) is closed....con't below...
Apr 1, 2020 at 8:16 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar The fact that $Sp(X)$ is closed in $X$ was proven first by Kawamata; see Thm. 4 in Y. Kawamata, On Bloch’s conjecture, Invent. Math. 57 (1980), 97-100. Ueno subsequently proved that $Sp(X)\neq X$ if and only if $X$ is of general type. Similar statements are true for closed subvarieties of semi-abelian varieties; see Abramovich numdam.org/item/CM_1994__90_1_37_0 ...cont'd below...
Apr 1, 2020 at 3:48 comment added user unknown @AriyanJavanpeykar: Also, if you have a nontrivial map from a group variety to $X$, would it factor through $Sp(X)$?
Mar 31, 2020 at 23:48 comment added user unknown @AriyanJavanpeykar: That's really helpful! Thanks a lot! So I assume if we want an argument as Proposition 3.7, we would need to know $Sp(X_L)$ is closed?Do you think there is a way to do it without assuming closedness of the set (so $Sp(X)_L$ just means the inverse image of $Sp(X)$ in $X_L$)?
Mar 31, 2020 at 17:09 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar ...the positive-dimensional translates of abelian subvarieties by closed points of $A_L$ contained in $X_L$. Thus, the Mordell exceptional locus behaves well with respect to field extensions. You can prove this using spreading out and specialization arguments; see also Proposition 3.7 in arxiv.org/abs/1909.12187
Mar 31, 2020 at 17:09 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Usually, when one speaks of "translate of an abelian subvariety" it really is in the sense "translate of an abelian subvariety by a closed point". To answer your question: Let $X\subset A$ be a closed subvariety over an abelian variety $A$ over $k$. Assume $k$ is algebraically closed (of characteristic zero?). Let $Sp(X)$ be the union of positive-dimensional translates (by closed points of $A$) of abelian subvarieties contained in $X$. Let $L/k$ be an extension of algebraically closed fields. Then $Sp(X)_L = Sp(X_L)$, where $Sp(X_L)$ is the union of ...
