   Abstract We study the inverse Jacobian problem for the case of Picard curves over $${\mathbb {C}}$$ C . More precisely, we elaborate on an algorithm that, given a small period matrix $$\varOmega \in {\mathbb {C}}^{3\times 3}$$ Ω ∈ C 3 × 3 corresponding to a principally polarized abelian threefold equipped with an automorphism of order 3, returns a Legendre–Rosenhain equation for a Picard curve with Jacobian isomorphic to the given abelian variety. Our method corrects a formula obtained by Koike–Weng (Math Comput 74(249):499–518, 2005) which is based on a theorem of Siegel. As a result, we apply the algorithm to obtain equations of all the isomorphism classes of Picard curves with maximal complex multiplication by the maximal order of the sextic CM-fields with class number at most $$4$$ 4 . In particular, we obtain the complete list of maximal CM Picard curves defined over $${\mathbb {Q}}$$ Q . In the appendix, Vincent gives a correction to the generalization of Takase’s formula for the inverse Jacobian problem for hyperelliptic curves given in [Balakrishnan–Ionica–Lauter–Vincent, LMS J. Comput. Math., 19(suppl. A):283-300, 2016].

2. Notes on solutions of KZ equations modulo $p^s$ and $$p$$-adic limit $$s\to\infty$$

   Alexander Varchenko (January 2022, Contemporary mathematics)

   We consider the KZ equations over C in the case, when the hypergeometric solutions are hyperelliptic integrals of genus g. Then the space of solutions is a 2g-dimensional complex vector space. We also consider the same equations modulo ps, where p is an odd prime and s is a positive integer, and over the field Q_p of p-adic numbers. We construct polynomial solutions of the KZ equations modulo ps and study the space Mps of all constructed solutions. We show that the p-adic limit of Mps as s→∞ gives us a g-dimensional vector space of solutions of the KZ equations over Qp. The solutions over Qp are power series at a certain asymptotic zone of the KZ equations. In the appendix written jointly with Steven Sperber we consider all asymptotic zones of the KZ equations in the case g=1 of elliptic integrals. The p-adic limit of Mps as s→∞ gives us a one-dimensional space of solutions over Qp at every asymptotic zone. We apply Dwork's theory and show that our germs of solutions over Qp defined at different asymptotic zones analytically continue into a single global invariant line subbundle of the associated KZ connection. Notice that the corresponding KZ connection over C does not have proper nontrivial invariant subbundles, and therefore our invariant line subbundle is a new feature of the KZ equations over Qp. We describe the Frobenius transformations of solutions of the KZ equations for g=1 and then recover the unit roots of the zeta functions of the elliptic curves defined by the equations y2=βx(x−1)(x−α) over the finite field Fp. Here α,β∈F×p,α≠1

3. An Exploration of Degeneracy in Abelian Varieties of Fermat Type

   https://doi.org/10.1080/10586458.2024.2362953  

   Goodson, Heidi (June 2024, Experimental Mathematics)

   The term degenerate is used to describe abelian varieties whose Hodge rings contain exceptional cycles -- Hodge cycles that are not generated by divisor classes. We can see the effect of the exceptional cycles on the structure of an abelian variety through its Mumford-Tate group, Hodge group, and Sato-Tate group. In this article we examine degeneracy through these different but related lenses. We specialize to a family of abelian varieties of Fermat type, namely Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of the form $y^2=x^m-1$. We prove that the Jacobian of the curve is degenerate whenever $$m$$ is an odd, composite integer. We explore the various forms of degeneracy for several examples, each illustrating different phenomena that can occur.

4. Adic tropicalizations and cofinality of Gubler models

   https://doi.org/10.1112/blms.70001  

   Foster, Tyler; Payne, Sam (January 2025, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society)

   Abstract We introduce adic tropicalizations for subschemes of toric varieties as limits of Gubler models associated to polyhedral covers of the ordinary tropicalization. Our main result shows that Huber's adic analytification of a subscheme of a toric variety is naturally isomorphic to the inverse limit of its adic tropicalizations, in the category of locally topologically ringed spaces. The key new technical idea underlying this theorem is cofinality of Gubler models, which we prove for projective schemes and also for more general compact analytic domains in closed subschemes of toric varieties. In addition, we introduce a ‐topology and structure sheaf on ordinary tropicalizations, and show that Berkovich analytifications are limits of ordinary tropicalizations in the category of topologically ringed topoi.

5. Finiteness of reductions of Hecke orbits

   https://doi.org/10.4171/JEMS/1395  

   Kisin, Mark; Lam, Yeuk_Hay Joshua; Shankar, Ananth N; Srinivasan, Padmavathi (December 2023, Journal of the European Mathematical Society)

   We prove two finiteness results for reductions of Hecke orbits of abelian varieties over local fields: one in the case of supersingular reduction and one in the case of reductive monodromy. As an application, we show that only finitely many abelian varieties on a fixed isogeny leaf admit CM lifts, which in particular implies that in each fixed dimensiongonly finitely many supersingular abelian varieties admit CM lifts. Combining this with the Kuga–Satake construction, we also show that only finitely many supersingular K3surfaces admit CM lifts. Our tools includep-adic Hodge theory and group-theoretic techniques.
