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.

Commutation of endomorphisms of abelian varieties
Remark. The condition that $\bigcup_{r \geq 0} \ker(\phi^r)(k)$ is Zariski dense is not needed. Indeed, if it is not satisfied, replace $\phi$ by $[\ell] \circ \phi$ for $\ell$ invertible in $k$. Sinc …

Points of abelian varieties over purely transcendental extensions
This follows from the following well-known lemma.
Lemma. Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $k$. Then any map $f \colon \mathbb P^1 \to A$ is constant.
Proof 1. The map $f$ induces a map on the Alba …

Stabilizers in abelian varieties are also abelian? reference request
This is not true: it does not need to be connected even if $X$ is smooth connected over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero. Indeed, if there is an isogeny $\pi \colon A \to B$ an …

Reduction step to $k=\bar{k}$ in the proof of rigidity lemma
One way to argue is as follows: given a morphism $f \colon X \times Y \to Z$, consider its graph $\Gamma_f \subseteq X \times Y \times Z$. Let $W$ be the scheme-theoretic image of $\Gamma_f$ under the …

Is multiplication by $d$ on the Jacobian of a nodal curve étale?
Lemma. Let $G$ be a commutative group scheme of finite type over a field $k$, and let $d$ be a positive integer invertible in $k$. Then the multiplication by $d$ map $[d] \colon G \to G$ is finite éta …

$p$-divisibility of Picard groups
Inspired by the $\mathbf G_m$ case (Kummer theory), here is a positive result if you assume that $E(k)$ contains full $\ell$-torsion:
Lemma. Let $k$ be a field and $\ell$ a prime invertible in $k$, su …

Is the set of points on an abelian surface which project to rational points on the Kummer su...
Varieties over a field $k$ can be understood by their $\bar k$-points with the Zariski topology, together with the $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar k/k)$-action. Any morphism $f \colon X \to Y$ of $k$-varieti …

Do all simple factors of jacobians of curves come from correspondences?
This argument is mostly contained in t3suji's comments, but with some of the proofs somewhat expanded.
As a convention (consistent with that of the theory of Chow motives), all actions of corresponde …

Zeta function of Abelian variety over finite field
This is not an answer.
Here is a possible strategy, that was too long for a comment. I briefly thought it gave a full answer, but there is a lot of stuff missing.
If $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{2g}$ ar …

On families of supersingular abelian surfaces over the projective line
I will answer the question for the specific family of abelian surfaces as constructed by Moret-Bailly [MB]. There might be other types of examples for which the answer is different (?). We will recall …

Néron models vs integral models
Note that sheaf pushforward and preheaf pushforward agree, so this a question about categories, not sites.
Lemma. If $X$ is a finite type $k$-scheme with $\dim X > 0$, then $j_*h_X$ is not re …

Reference for torsion-freeness of the group of correspondences on a smooth projective variety
It's not just torsion-free, we can actually compute it in terms of the Picard and Albanese variety of $T$, by the following classical result:
Lemma. If $X$ and $Y$ are smooth projective varieties over …

Cup products and correspondences
It is not true that $a^*(\alpha \smile \beta) = a^*\alpha \smile a^*\beta$:
Example. Let $X = \mathbf P^2$, and let $a$ be the Künneth projector onto $H^2(\mathbf P^2) \subseteq H^*(\mathbf P^2)$. Exp …

A constructive proof of the theorem of the cube
This is not really an answer, but a rephrasing together with some comments on why this is difficult. I end with one example where you can actually compute something (purely algebraically) on $E \times …

Étale group schemes and specialization
If $k \to \ell$ is any regular field extension (i.e. $k$ is algebraically closed in $\ell$), then $X(k) \to X(\ell)$ is a bijection when $X \to \operatorname{Spec} k$ is étale. Indeed, it suffices to …
