To every covering of curves, we associate several varieties having the same field of moduli and same fields of definition. We deduce examples of curves having Q (the field of rationals) as field of moduli, that admit models over any completion of Q but no model over Q.
Let X be an irreducible symplectic variety defined over a number field K. Assume either that X has Picard number at least two or that X has even second Betti number. We prove that there exist a finite algebraic field extension L/K and a density 1 set S of non-archimedean places of L such that the reduction of X at any place in S has nonzero Hasse-Witt invariant.
We study some automorphic cohomology classes of degree one on the Griffiths-Schmid varieties attached to some unitary groups in 3 variables. Using partial compactifications of those varieties, constructed by K. Kato and S. Usui, we define for such a cohomology class some analogues of Fourier-Shimura coefficients, which are cohomology classes on certain elliptic curves. We show that a large space of such automorphic classes can be generated by those with rational "coefficients". More precisely, we consider those cohomology classes that come from Picard modular forms, via some Penrose-like trans…
In this note, we announce results on integral points on some modular varieties, based on a generalisation of Runge's method in higher dimensions which will be explained beforehand. In particular, we obtain an explicit result in the case of the Siegel modular variety $A_2(2)$.
In this paper, we study dimensions of some varieties, that were introduced recently by Kisin in order to prove modularity of some Galois representations. In fact, we mainly consider a special case for which we obtain an estimation of the dimension we are interested in. Then, based on this result, we state a conjecture for the general case.
We study the local-global principle for zero-cycles of degree 1 on certain varieties fibered over the projective space. Among other applications, we prove that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation for zero-cycles of degree 1 on Severi-Brauer-variety bundles or Châtelet-surface bundles over the projective space.
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a number field, fibered over a curve, with geometrically integral fibers. We prove that, supposing the finiteness of $\sha(Jac(C))$, if the fibers over a generalised Hilbertian subset satisfy the Hasse principle (resp. weak approximation), then the Brauer-Manin obstruction coming from the base curve is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle (resp. to weak approximation) for zero-cycles of degree 1 on $X$.
Let $b > a > 0$. We prove the following asymptotic formula $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \big\lvert\{x/(n+a)\} - \{x/(n+b)\}\big\rvert = \frac{2}πζ(3/2)\sqrt{cx} + O(c^{2/9}x^{4/9}),$$ with $c=b-a$, uniformly for $x \ge 40 c^{-5}(1+b)^{27/2}$.
Let $k$ be a number field and let $T$ be a $k$-torus. Consider a fibration in torsors under $T$, i.e. a morphism $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ from a smooth, projective $k$-variety $X$ to $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ such that the generic fibre $X_η\to η$ is a smooth compactification of a principal homogeneous space under $T \times_k η$. We study the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation for $X$, under Schinzel's hypothesis, thereby generalizing recent work of Wei. Our results are unconditional if $k = \mathbb{Q}$ and the non-split fibres of $f$ are defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
Let F be a finite field and let C be a smooth projective curve over F. For some smooth projective surfaces X over F we establish that the third unramified cohomology of the product of X and C vanishes. This applies in particular to geometrically rational surfaces. Soit F un corps fini et soit C une courbe projective et lisse sur F. Pour certaines surfaces projectives et lisses X sur F on établit la nullité du troisième groupe de cohomologie non ramifiée du produit de X et C. Cela s'applique en particulier aux surfaces géométriquement rationnelles.
Let K be a number field. We prove that its ray class group modulo p 2 (resp. 8) if p > 2 (resp. p = 2) characterizes its p-rationality. Then we give two short, very fast PARI Programs (§§3.1, 3.2) testing if K (defined by an irreducible monic polynomial) is p-rational or not. For quadratic fields we verify some densities related to Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet ones and analyse Greenberg's conjecture on the existence of p-rational fields with Galois groups (Z/2Z) t needed for the construction of some Galois representations with open image. We give examples for p = 3, t = 5 and t = 6 (§§5.1, 5.2) and …
Soit l un entier et E_{c,l} la famille de Kubert des courbes elliptiques definies sur Q munies d'un point rationnel A d'ordre l. On note F_{c,l} la courbe elliptique quotient de E_{c,l} par le groupe engendre' par A, et f_l l'isogenie de E_{c,l} sur F_{c,l}. Pour l = 3, 4, 5 et 6, nous construisons explicitement, pour des parametrisations convenables de c, des elements non-triviaux de F_{c,l}(Q) / (f_l(E_{c,l}(Q))), autrement dit, des points explicites de F_{c,l}(Q) qui ne sont l'image par f_l d'aucun element de E_{c,l}(Q). Ces points sont en general d'ordre infini. Nous donnons des applicatio…
Nous montrons qu'un raffinement du théorème de Siegel sur les points entiers de courbes algébriques impliquerait la conjecture abc de Masser-Oesterlé. Nous formulons une hypothèse "Siegel uniforme" qui est une majoration de la hauteur des points S-entiers de la courbe, en termes du corps de rationalité et de l'ensemble de places S. La validité de l'hypothèse pour une quelconque courbe algébrique de caractéristique d'Euler-Poincaré strictement négative, impliquerait une version de la conjecture abc. Ceci étend aux points S-entiers des résultats précédents de L. Moret-Bailly, et est en quelque s…
We demonstrate the Batyrev-Manin Conjecture for the number of points of bounded height on hypersurfaces of some toric varieties.. The method used is inspired by the one developed by Schindler for the study the case of hypersurfaces of biprojective spaces. This method is based on the Hardy-Littlewood circle method. The constant obtained in the final asymptotic formula is the one conjectured by Peyre. ----- Nous démontrons la conjecture de Batyrev-Manin pour le nombre de points de hauteur bornée sur les hypersurfaces de certaines variétés toriques.

Let $k$ be a higher-dimensional local field and $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over $k$. Let $K$ be the function field of $X$. We define Tate-Shafarevich groups of an abelian variety via cohomology classes locally trivial at each completion of $K$ coming from a closed point of $X$. We prove local duality theorems for abelian varieties over $k$, as well as global duality theorems for Tate-Shafarevich groups of abelian varieties over $K$. Soient $k$ un corps local supérieur et $X$ une courbe projective lisse géométriquement intègre de corps de fonctions $K$. On définit l…

We propose a definition of varieties over the field with one element. These have extensions of scalars to the ring of integers which are varieties in the usual sense. We show that toric varieties can be defined over the field with one element. We also discuss zeta functions for such objects. We give a motivic interpretation of the image of the J-homomorphism defined by Adams. ~ ~ ~ ~
Using the construction of Colliot-Thélène and Ojanguren, we exhibit an example of a smooth projective geometrically rational variety X defined over a finite field F_p with an algebraic closure \bar F_p and the absolute Galois group G, such that the group H^3_nr(X, Z/2) is nonzero and the map CH^2(X)\to CH^2(\bar X)^G is not surjective.
In characteristic zero, it was proven a long time ago by D. Lieberman that cohomological and numerical equivalence coincide for cycles on abelian varieties. In this paper we show this to be true also in a somewhat technical sense for abelian varieties defined over a finite field. The technicality is that the result is valid for l-adic cohomology for primes l of non-zero density.
Soit $X$ une variété projective et lisse, définie sur un corps de nombres. Sous l'hypothèse $H^2(X,\mathcal O_X)=0,$ Colliot-Thélène et Raskind ont démontré que le sous-groupe de torsion $CH^2(X)_{tors}$ du groupe de Chow en codimension $2$ est fini. Dans cette note, on donne des bornes uniformes pour le groupe fini $CH^2(X)_{tors}$ quand $X$ varie en famille. Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field. Assuming $H^2(X,\mathcal O_X)=0,$ Colliot-Thélène and Raskind proved that the torsion subgroup $CH^2(X)_{tors}$ in the Chow group of cycles of codimension $2$ is finite.…
Pour $K$ un corps global (corps de nombres ou corps de fonctions d'une variable sur un corps fini $F$), on dispose de théorèmes de dualité classiques (Tate, Poitou, Nakayama) pour la cohomologie galoisienne à valeurs dans des tores et des modules abéliens finis. Nous établissons de tels théorèmes pour $K$ le corps des fonctions d'une courbe projective et lisse sur le corps $F={\bf C}((t))$ des séries formelles en une variable sur le corps des complexes. Cela permet de contrôler le défaut du principe de Hasse et l'approximation faible pour les espaces homogènes sous un tore. Il y a ici des diff…
This is an update of the first version. We clarify that the main results apply to more general smooth projective varieties X than products of elliptic curves (briefly: X is of "abelian type", e.g. an abelian variety or a product of curves, and the Tate conjecture holds). We also deduce the Gersten conjecture for dvrs whose residue field is the function field of such an X. In an appendix, we construct some functoriality for etale motivic cohomology. Finally, some errors which were in Section 5 of the first version are corrected.
We study the l-part of the the wild étale kernels WK2i(F) of an arbitary number field F for a given prime l in connection with the logarithmic l-class groups. From the logarithmic arithmetic we deduce rank formulas, periodicity and reflection theorems, triviality characterizations and various consequences.
In this article, we show that the Inverse Galois Problem over a skew field $H$ of finite dimension over its center $k$ is equivalent to a variant of the Inverse Galois Problem over $k$ involving a polynomial constraint. As an application, we show that if $k$ contains an ample field, then the Inverse Galois Problem has a positive answer over the skew field $H(t)$ of rational fractions with central indeterminate.
