Abelian varieties are projective algebraic varieties endowed with an Abelian group structure. Over the complex numbers, they can be described as quotients of a vector space by a lattice of full rank. They are analogs in higher dimensions of elliptic curves, and play an important role in algebraic geometry and number theory.

Algebraic cycles of dimension 2 on the square of a generic abelian surface

I would like to know, what is known on algebraic cycles of dimension 2 modulo algebraic or rational equivalence on the square of a generic abelian surface. First, let $A$ be a generic abelian surface …

Elements of arbitrary large order in the first Galois cohomology of an elliptic curve

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $k=\mathbb{Q}$. Consider $H^1(k,E)$. In this answer Daniel Loughran writes: "I'm pretty sure that this cohomology group has elements of arbitrarily large order". I …

Does every Shimura variety contain a generic point defined over a number field?

This question is related to my previous question, to which I got a partial answer. Consider the cyclotomic field $L={{\mathbb{Q}}}(\zeta_8)={{\mathbb{Q}}}(\sqrt{2},i)$, where $\zeta_8$ is a primitive …

Real field of definition of an abelian variety of CM-type?

Question 0. Can a field of definitions (without automorphisms) of an (almost arbitrary) abelian variety of CM-type, originally defined over ${\mathbb{C}}$, be chosen to be a totally real number f …

Abelian variety with prescribed endomorphism ring

Consider the cyclotomic field $L={{\mathbb{Q}}}(\zeta_8)={{\mathbb{Q}}}(\sqrt{2},i)$, where $\zeta_8$ is a primitive 8-th root of unity. Let $\Lambda={{\mathbb{Z}}}[\zeta_8]$ denote the ring of integ …
