Companions for positive characteristic arithmetic representations viewed as representations of the topological fundamental group?

Suppose $X / K$ is a variety over a finitely generated field over $\mathbb{Q}$. Fix an embedding $K \subset \mathbb{C}$ and let $\pi := \pi_1(X(\mathbb{C}), x)$ be the topological fundamental group. ...

Is the group of homologically trivial cycles in a variety over a finite field torsion?

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Is any cycle in the Chow group $CH^i(X)$ which is trivial in $\ell$-adic cohomology automatically torsion? For abelian varieties I believe ...

Why this genus one curve over $\mathbb{F}_5$ appear to violate Hasse-Weil bound?

Working over $\mathbb{F}_5$, the affine curve $x^4+2=y^2$ has no points. The projective curve $x^4+2y^4=z^2y^2$ has only one point $(0 : 0 : 1)$. Both curves appear to violate Hasse-Weil bound of $4....

On the sheaves-functions dictionary

Let $X$ be a variety over a finite field $k$. Let $\pi_{1}(X)$ be the arithmetic etale fundamental group of $X$, and $\rho:\pi_{1}(X)\to k^{\times}$ a continuous character. If $x: \text{Spec}(k)\to X$ ...

The definition of complex multiplication on K3 surfaces

I am reading this paper on the complex multiplication of K3 surfaces. It seems that this is only defined for complex K3 surfaces, or K3 surfaces over number fields. Is there a more general defintion ...

Do automorphisms actually prevent the formation of fine moduli spaces?

I have found similar questions littered throughout this site and math.SE (for example [1], [2], [3],…), but I feel like like most of them usually just say that non-trivial automorphisms prevent the ...

Closed image of curves under $p$-adic logarithm, Coleman integrals and Bogomolov

Disclaimer: my knowledge of $p$-adic analysis/geometry is minimal. Consider a smooth, complete curve $C$ of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{C}_{p}$, denote by $J$ its Jacobian and consider the embedding $C\...

Are all representations of the geometric étale fundamental group subquotients of representations of the arithmetic étale fundamental group?

Let $X$ be a variety over a field $k$. The étale fundamental group of $X$ fits into the exact sequence: $$1 \to \pi_1^{\text{geom}}(X) \to \pi_1^{\text{arith}}(X) \to \text{Gal}(\overline{k}/k) \to 1,$...

Compactifications of product of universal elliptic curves

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the universal elliptic curve over the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of elliptic curves. As $\mathcal{E}$ is an abelian group scheme over $\mathcal{M}$, we obtain a product-preserving ...

Étale- or fppf-crystalline sites

I have a straightforward question. Let (say) $X/\mathbb{F}_p$ be a smooth proper scheme. On the big crystalline category over $\mathbb{Z}/p^n$ one can take the Zariski or étale topology, and one can ...

Bad prime of torsor and original elliptic curve ; Definition of Tate–Shafarevich group $Ш(E/K)$

Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve over number field $K$. Let $M_K$ be a set of all places of $K$. My question is, Does there exist a finite set $S\subset M_K$ such that $\forall C$: $E/K$-torsor, $\...

Practical way of computing bitangent lines of a quartic (using computers)

Are there known practical algorithms or methods to calculate the bitangent lines of a quartic defined by $f(u,v,t)=0$ in terms of the 15 coefficients? Theoretically you can set up $f(u,v,-au-bv)=(k_0u^...

Bounding $H^4_{\text{ėt}}$ of a surface

Let $X\longrightarrow X'$ be a smooth proper map of smooth proper schemes defined over $\mathbb{Z}[1/S]$, where $S$ is a finite set of primes. Assume $X'$ is a curve of positive genus, and $X$ is a ...

How does one compute the group action of the automorphism group on integral cohomology?

Suppose I have a curve $X$ (for concreteness, we can take $X$ to be a smooth, projective curve over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and even more concretely consider the family of curves described by ...

Zeta function of variety over positive characteristic function field vs. local zeta factor of variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$

Let $X = Y \times_{\mathbb{F}_q} C$, with $Y, C / \mathbb{F}_q$ smooth projective varieties, $C$ a curve. Let $d = \dim_{\mathbb{F}_q} X$. We can consider the local zeta function $Z(X, t) = \prod\...
