We construct "generalized Heegner cycles" on a variety fibered over a Shimura curve, defined over a number field. We show that their images under the p-adic Abel-Jacobi
Fix a prime number . Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field. We analyse graphs of so-called l-isogenies, resolving that, in arbitrary dimension, their structure is similar, but not identical, to the "volcanoes" occurring as graphs of isogenies of elliptic curves. Specializing to the case of principally polarizable abelian surfaces, we then exploit this structure to describe graphs of a particular class of isogenies known as ( , )-isogenies: those whose kernels are maximal isotropic subgroups of the -torsion for the Weil pairing. We use these two results to write an algorithm giving a path of computable isogenies from an arbitrary absolutely simple ordinary abelian surface towards one with maximal endomorphism ring, which has immediate consequences for the CM-method in genus 2, for computing explicit isogenies, and for the random self-reducibility of the discrete logarithm problem in genus 2 cryptography.
We study the local behavior of special cycles on Shimura varieties for U(2, 1) × U(1, 1) in the setting of the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures at primes τ of the totally real field of definition of the unitary spaces which are split in the corresponding totally imaginary quadratic extension. We establish a local formula for their fields of definition, and prove a distribution relation between the Galois and Hecke actions on them. This complements work of [Jet15] at inert primes, where the combinatorics of the formulas are reduced to calculations on the Bruhat-Tits trees, which in the split case must be replaced with higher-dimensional buildings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
