Positive density of primes of ordinary reduction for abelian varieties of simple signature

Victoria Cantoral Farfán, Wanlin Li, Elena Mantovan +2

By a result of Serre, if is an elliptic curve without CM defined over a number field , then the set of primes of for which has ordinary reduction has density . Ka…

On -torsion in degree superelliptic Jacobians over

Wanlin Li, Jonathan Love, Eric Stubley

We study the -torsion subgroup in Jacobians of curves of the form for irreducible over a finite field of characteristic $p \neq \ell…

Non-vanishing of Ceresa and Gross--Kudla--Schoen cycles associated to modular curves

Matt Kerr, Wanlin Li, Congling Qiu +1

Associated to an algebraic curve , there are two canonically constructed homologically trivial algebraic -cycles, the Ceresa cycle in the Jacobian of , and the Gross-Kudla…

Exceptional biases in counting primes over functions fields

Alexandre Bailleul, Lucile Devin, Daniel Keliher +1

We study how often exceptional configurations of irreducible polynomials over finite fields occur in the context of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias. In particular, we show…

On the vanishing of twisted -functions of elliptic curves over rational function fields

Antoine Comeau-Lapointe, Chantal David, Matilde Lalin +1

We investigate in this paper the vanishing at of the twisted -functions of elliptic curves defined over the rational function field (where $\mathbb{F…

The Ceresa class and tropical curves of hyperelliptic type

Daniel Corey, Wanlin Li

We define a new algebraic invariant of a graph called the Ceresa-Zharkov class and show that it is trivial if and only if is of hyperelliptic type, equivalently, does n…

On the Northcott property of zeta functions over function fields

Xavier Généreux, Matilde Lalín, Wanlin Li

Pazuki and Pengo defined a Northcott property for special values of zeta functions of number fields and certain motivic -functions. We determine the values for which the Northco…

Abelian varieties of prescribed order over finite fields

Raymond van Bommel, Edgar Costa, Wanlin Li +2

Given a prime power and , we prove that every integer in a large subinterval of the Hasse--Weil interval is $#A(\mathbb{F}_q)$…

Data for Shimura varieties intersecting the Torelli locus

Wanlin Li, Elena Mantovan, Rachel Pries

For infinitely many Hurwitz spaces parametrizing cyclic covers of the projective line, we provide a method to determine the integral PEL datum of the Shimura variety that contains…

Doubly isogenous genus-2 curves with -action

Vishal Arul, Jeremy Booher, Steven R. Groen +5

We study the extent to which curves over finite fields are characterized by their zeta functions and the zeta functions of certain of their covers. Suppose C and C' are curves over…

Vanishing of Dirichlet L-functions at the central point over function fields

Ravi Donepudi, Wanlin Li

We give a geometric criterion for Dirichlet -functions associated to cyclic characters over the rational function field to vanish at the central point .…

Surface bundles and the section conjecture

Wanlin Li, Daniel Litt, Nick Salter +1

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k…

The Ceresa class: tropical, topological, and algebraic

Daniel Corey, Jordan Ellenberg, Wanlin Li

The Ceresa cycle is an algebraic cycle attached to a smooth algebraic curve with a marked point, which is trivial when the curve is hyperelliptic with a marked Weierstrass point. T…

Group-theoretic Johnson classes and a non-hyperelliptic curve with torsion Ceresa class

Dean Bisogno, Wanlin Li, Daniel Litt +1

Let l be a prime and G a pro-l group with torsion-free abelianization. We produce group-theoretic analogues of the Johnson/Morita cocycle for G -- in the case of surface groups, th…

Newton polygon stratification of the Torelli locus in PEL-type Shimura varieties

Wanlin Li, Elena Mantovan, Rachel Pries +1

We study the intersection of the Torelli locus with the Newton polygon stratification of the modulo reduction of certain PEL-type Shimura varieties. We develop a clutching meth…

Effective Bounds on the Dimensions of Jacobians Covering Abelian Varieties

Juliette Bruce, Wanlin Li

We show that any polarized abelian variety over a finite field is covered by a Jacobian whose dimension is bounded by an explicit constant. We do this by first proving an effective…
