In this article, I give a crystalline characterization of abelian varieties amongst the class of smooth projective varieties with trivial tangent bundles in characteristic $p>0$ . Using my characterization, I show that a smooth, projective, ordinary variety with trivial tangent bundle is an abelian variety if and only if its second crystalline cohomology is torsion-free. I also show that a conjecture of KeZheng Li about smooth projective varieties with trivial tangent bundles in characteristic $p>0$ is true for smooth projective surfaces. I give a new proof of a result by Li and prove a refinement of it. Based on my characterization of abelian varieties, I propose modifications of Li’s conjecture, which I expect to be true.

Abstract We determine which complex abelian varieties can be realized as the automorphism group of a smooth projective variety.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a field $k$. Let $R:=\operatorname{End}E$. There is a functor $\mathscr{H}\!\mathit{om}_{R}(-,E)$ from the category of finitely presented torsion-free left $R$-modules to the category of abelian varieties isogenous to a power of $E$, and a functor $\operatorname{Hom}(-,E)$ in the opposite direction. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions on $E$ for these functors to be equivalences of categories. We also prove a partial generalization in which $E$ is replaced by a suitable higher-dimensional abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$.

AbstractA conjecture of Orlov predicts that derived equivalent smooth projective varieties over a field have isomorphic Chow motives. The conjecture is known for curves, and was recently observed for surfaces by Huybrechts. In this paper we focus on threefolds over perfect fields, and unconditionally secure results, which are implied by Orlov's conjecture, concerning the geometric coniveau filtration, and abelian varieties attached to smooth projective varieties.

AbstractIn this paper, using a generalization of the notion of Prym variety for covers of projective varieties, we prove a structure theorem for the Mordell–Weil group of abelian varieties over function fields that are twists of abelian varieties by Galois covers of smooth projective varieties. In particular, the results we obtain contribute to the construction of Jacobians of high rank.

Let M be a complex projective manifold with the property that for any compact Riemann surface C and holomorphic map f : C → M the pullback of the tangent bundle of M is semistable. We prove that in this case M is a curve or a finite étale quotient of an abelian variety answering a conjecture of Biswas.

In this paper, motivated by a problem posed by Barry Mazur, we show that for smooth projective varieties over the rationals, the odd cohomology groups of degree less than or equal to the dimension can be modeled by the cohomology of an abelian variety, provided the geometric coniveau is maximal. This provides an affirmative answer to Mazur’s question for all uni-ruled threefolds, for instance. Concerning cohomology in degree three, we show that the image of the Abel–Jacobi map admits a distinguished model over the rationals.

Abstract In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective variety X of characteristic p > 0 is an ordinary abelian variety if and only if KX is pseudo-effective and $F_{*}^{e}{\mathcal {O}}_{X}$ splits into a direct sum of line bundles for an integer e with pe > 2.

In this article, we give a Galois-theoretic characterization of the canonical theta structure. The Galois property of the canonical theta structure translates into certain p-adic theta relations which are satisfied by the canonical theta null point of the canonical lift. As an application, we prove some 2-adic theta identities which describe the set of canonical theta null points of the canonical lifts of ordinary abelian varieties in characteristic 2. The latter theta relations are suitable for explicit canonical lifting. Using the theory of canonical theta null points, we are able to give a theoretical foundation to Mestre's point counting algorithm which is based on the computation of the generalized arithmetic geometric mean sequence.

A field K is called ample if every smooth K-curve that has a K-rational point has infinitely many of them. We prove two theorems to support the following conjecture, which is inspired by classical infinite rank results: Every non-zero Abelian variety A over an ample field K which is not algebraic over a finite field has infinite rank. First, the ℤ(p)-module A(K) ⊗ ℤ(p) is not finitely generated, where p is the characteristic of K. In particular, the conjecture holds for fields of characteristic zero. Second, if K is an infinite finitely generated field and S is a finite set of local primes of K, then every Abelian variety over K acquires infinite rank over certain subfields of the maximal totally S-adic Galois extension of K. This strengthens a recent infinite rank result of Geyer and Jarden.

In this paper we study the variation of the $p$-Selmer rank parities of $p$-twists of a principally polarized Abelian variety over an arbitrary number field $K$ and show, under certain assumptions, that this parity is periodic with an explicit period. Our result applies in particular to principally polarized Abelian varieties with full $K$-rational $p$-torsion subgroup, arbitrary elliptic curves, and Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. Assuming the Shafarevich–Tate conjecture, our result allows one to classify the rank parities of all quadratic twists of an elliptic or hyperelliptic curve after a finite calculation.
