Computing residual representations of abelian threefolds with imaginary multiplication

Shiva Chidambaram, Pip Goodman

Let $M$ be an imaginary quadratic field. Let $A$ be a polarised abelian threefold defined over $M$ with geometric endomorphism algebra isomorphic to $M$ . We study residual Galois r…

Point counts of abelian varieties over finite fields determining their zeta function

Shiva Chidambaram, Timo Keller

Let $A$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ over a finite field $F_{q}$ . We show that if $q$ is sufficiently large relative to $g$ , the $g$ point counts $\#A(\mathbf{F}_{…

On the Visibility category of the Shafarevich--Tate group

Barinder S. Banwait, Jerson Caro, Shiva Chidambaram

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over $\Q$ and a nontrivial element $σ$ of its Shafarevich--Tate group $\Sha(E)$, we introduce the \textbf{Visualization category} $\V(E; σ)$ of abelian…

Computing the mod-3 Galois image of a principally polarized abelian surface over the rationals

Shiva Chidambaram

A lot of work has gone into computing images of Galois representations coming from elliptic curves. This article presents an algorithm to determine the image of the mod- $3$ Galois…

Fekete polynomials of principal Dirichlet characters

Shiva Chidambaram, Ján Mináč, Tung T. Nguyen +1

Fekete polynomials associated to quadratic Dirichlet characters have interesting arithmetic properties, and have been studied in many works. In this paper, we study a seemingly sim…

Computing isogeny classes of typical principally polarized abelian surfaces over the rationals

Raymond van Bommel, Shiva Chidambaram, Edgar Costa +1

We describe an efficient algorithm which, given a principally polarized (p.p.) abelian surface $A$ over $Q$ with geometric endomorphism ring equal to $Z$ , compute…

Rational points on hyperelliptic Atkin-Lehner quotients of modular curves and their coverings

Nikola Adžaga, Shiva Chidambaram, Timo Keller +1

We complete the computation of all $Q$ -rational points on all the $64$ maximal Atkin-Lehner quotients $X_{0} (N)^{*}$ such that the quotient is hyperelliptic. To achieve this,…

Quadratic Chabauty for Atkin-Lehner Quotients of Modular Curves of Prime Level and Genus 4, 5, 6

Nikola Adžaga, Vishal Arul, Lea Beneish +4

We use the method of quadratic Chabauty on the quotients $X_{0}^{+} (N)$ of modular curves $X_{0} (N)$ by their Fricke involutions to provably compute all the rational points of these curv…

Mod- $p$ Galois representations not arising from abelian varieties

Shiva Chidambaram

It is known that any Galois representation $ρ : G_{Q} \to GL (2, F_{p})$ with determinant equal to the mod- $p$ cyclotomic character, arises from the $…

Rationality of twists of the Siegel modular variety of genus $2$ and level $3$

Frank Calegari, Shiva Chidambaram

Let $ρ : G_{Q} \to GSp_{4} (F_{3})$ be a continuous Galois representation with cyclotomic similitude character -- or, what turns out to be equiva…

Abelian surfaces with fixed $3$ -torsion

Frank Calegari, Shiva Chidambaram, David P. Roberts

Given a genus two curve $X : y^{2} = x^{5} + a x^{3} + b x^{2} + c x + d$ , we give an explicit parametrization of all other such curves $Y$ with a specified symplectic isomorphism on three-…

Some modular abelian surfaces

Frank Calegari, Shiva Chidambaram, Alexandru Ghitza

We use the main theorem of Boxer-Calegari-Gee-Pilloni (arXiv:1812.09269) to give explicit examples of modular abelian surfaces $A$ over $Q$ without extra endomorhpisms suc…
