  1. 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.

  2. Let $$A$$ be a non-isotrivial ordinary abelian surface over a global function field of characteristic $p>0$ with good reduction everywhere. Suppose that $$A$$ does not have real multiplication by any real quadratic field with discriminant a multiple of $$p$$ . We prove that there are infinitely many places modulo which $$A$$ is isogenous to the product of two elliptic curves.

  3. Abstract Given a K3 surface X over a number field K with potentially good reduction everywhere, we prove that the set of primes of K where the geometric Picard rank jumps is infinite. As a corollary, we prove that either $$X_{\overline {K}}$$ has infinitely many rational curves or X has infinitely many unirational specialisations. Our result on Picard ranks is a special case of more general results on exceptional classes for K3 type motives associated to GSpin Shimura varieties. These general results have several other applications. For instance, we prove that an abelian surface over a number field K with potentially good reduction everywhere is isogenous to a product of elliptic curves modulo infinitely many primes of K .
