Bézout's theorem for abelian varieties

Olivier Debarre, Ben Moonen

Let , be closed irreducible subvarieties of an absolutely simple abelian variety of dimension over a field. If , we prove that the addition morp…

Integral aspects of Fourier duality for abelian varieties

Junaid Hasan, Hazem Hassan, Milton Lin +3

We prove several results about integral versions of Fourier duality for abelian schemes, making use of Pappas's work on integral Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch. If is smooth quasi-p…

A remark on the paper of Deninger and Murre

Ben Moonen

We show that the results proven by Deninger and Murre directly imply that the Chern classes of the de Rham bundle of an abelian scheme are torsion elements in the Chow ring, a resu…

A classification of Shimura curves in

Ben Moonen

We give a precise classification, in terms of Shimura data, of all 1-dimensional Shimura subvarieties of a moduli space of polarized abelian varieties.

The Tate Conjecture for even dimensional Gushel-Mukai varieties in characteristic

Lie Fu, Ben Moonen

We study Gushel-Mukai (GM) varieties of dimension 4 or 6 in characteristic . Our main result is the Tate conjecture for all such varieties over finitely generated fields of char…

Algebraic cycles on Gushel-Mukai varieties

Lie Fu, Ben Moonen

We study algebraic cycles on complex Gushel-Mukai (GM) varieties. We prove the generalised Hodge conjecture, the (motivated) Mumford-Tate conjecture, and the generalised Tate conje…

Computing discrete invariants of varieties in positive characteristic. I. Ekedahl-Oort types of curves

Ben Moonen

We develop a method to compute the Ekedahl-Oort type of a curve C over a field k of characteristic p (which is the isomorphism type of the p-kernel group scheme J[p], where J is th…

The Coleman-Oort conjecture: reduction to three key cases

Ben Moonen

We show that the Coleman-Oort conjecture can be reduced to three particular cases. As an application we extend a result of Lu and Zuo, to the effect that for g at least 8 the Colem…

A note on images of Galois representations (with an application to a result of Litt)

Anna Cadoret, Ben Moonen

Let be a variety (possibly non-complete or singular) over a finitely generated field of characteristic . For a prime number , let be the Galois representa…

A remark on the Tate conjecture

Ben Moonen

The Tate conjecture has two parts: an assertion (S) about semisimplicity of Galois representations, and an assertion (T) which says that every Tate class is algebraic. We show that…

The Deligne-Mostow list and special families of surfaces

Ben Moonen

We study whether there exist infinitely many surfaces with given discrete invariants for which the H^2 is of CM type. This is a surface analogue of a conjecture of Coleman about cu…

Integral and adelic aspects of the Mumford-Tate conjecture

Anna Cadoret, Ben Moonen

Let be an abelian variety over a subfield that is of finite type over . We prove that if the Mumford-Tate conjecture for is true, then al…

On the Tate and Mumford-Tate conjectures in codimension one for varieties with h^{2,0}=1

Ben Moonen

We prove the Tate conjecture for divisor classes and the Mumford-Tate conjecture for the cohomology in degree 2 for varieties with over a finitely generated field of ch…

Some remarks on modified diagonals

Ben Moonen, Qizheng Yin

We prove a number of basic vanishing results for modified diagonal classes. We also obtain some sharp results for modified diagonals of curves and abelian varieties, and we prove a…

On a question of O'Grady about modified diagonals

Ben Moonen, Qizheng Yin

Let X be an abelian variety of dimension g. In a recent preprint O'Grady defines modified diagonal classes Γ^m on X^m and he conjectures that the class of Γ^m in the Chow ring of X…

The Torelli locus and special subvarieties

Ben Moonen, Frans Oort

We study the Torelli locus T_g in the moduli space A_g of abelian varieties. We consider special subvarieties (Shimura subvarieties) contained in the Torelli locus. We review the c…

On the Chow motive of an abelian scheme with non-trivial endomorphisms

Ben Moonen

Let X be an abelian scheme over a base variety S with endomorphism algebra D. We prove that the relative Chow motive R(X/S) has a canonical decomposition as a direct sum of motives…

Special subvarieties arising from families of cyclic covers of the projective line

Ben Moonen

We consider families of cyclic covers of the projective line, where we fix the covering group and the local monodromies and we vary the branch points. We prove that there are preci…

Divided powers in Chow rings and integral Fourier transforms

Ben Moonen, Alexander Polishchuk

We prove that for any monoid scheme M over a field with proper multiplication maps from M x M to M, we have a natural PD-structure on the ideal CH_{>0}(M) of CH(M) with regard to t…

Relations between tautological cycles on Jacobians

We study tautological cycle classes on the Jacobian of a curve. We prove a new result about the ring of tautological classes on a general curve that allows, among other things, eas…
