Given an equivalence relation, Œ D D denotes the equivalence class containing . A family of elements of a set A indexed by a second set I , denoted .ai /i I , is a function i ai I A. 2 7! W ! A field k is said to be separably closed if it has no finite separable extensions of degree > 1. We use ksep and kal to denote separable and algebraic closures of k respectively. For a vector space N over a field k, N _ denotes the dual vector space Homk.N; k/. All rings will be commutative with 1 unless it is stated otherwise, and homomorphisms of rings are required to map 1 to 1.A k-algebra is a ring A together with a homomorphism k A. For a ring A, A is the group of units in A: ! A a A there exists a b A such that ab 1 : D f 2 j 2 D g df X YX is defined to be Y , or equals Y by definition; D X YX is a subset of Y (not necessarily proper, i.e., X may equal Y ); X YX and Y are isomorphic; X YX and Y are canonically isomorphic (or there is a given or unique isomorphism). ' Conventions concerning algebraic geometry In an attempt to make the notes as accessible as possible, and in order to emphasize the geometry over the commutative algebra, I have based them as far as possible on my notes Algebraic Geometry (AG). Experts on schemes need only note the following. An algebraic variety over a field k is a geometrically reduced separated scheme of finite type over k except that we omit the nonclosed points from the base space. It need not be connected. Similarly, an algebraic space over a field k is a scheme of finite type over k, except that again we omit the nonclosed points. In more detail, an affine algebra over a field k is a finitely generated k-algebra R such that R kal has no nonzero nilpotents for one (hence every) algebraic closure kal of k. ˝k With such a k-algebra, we associate a ring space Specm.R/ (topological space endowed with a sheaf of k-algebras), and an affine variety over k is a ringed space isomorphic to one of this form. An algebraic variety over k is a ringed space .V; OV / admitting a finite S open covering V Ui such that .Ui ; OV Ui / is an affine variety for each i and which D j satisfies the separation axiom. If V is a variety over k and K k, then V .K/ is the set of points of V with coordinates in K and VK or V=K is the variety over K obtained from V by extension of scalars. An algebraic space is similar, except that Specm.R/ is an algebraic space for any finitely generated k-algebra and we drop the separatedness condition. We often describe regular maps by their actions on points. Recall that a regular map V W of k-varieties is determined by the map of points V .kal/ W.kal/ that it W ! ! defines. Moreover, to give a regular map V W of k-varieties is the same as to give ! natural maps V .R/ W.R/ for R running over the affine k-algebras (AG 4.37). ! Throughout k is a field. v Prerequisites As a minimum, the reader is assumed to be familiar with basic algebraic geometry, as for example in my notes AG. Some knowledge of schemes and algebraic number theory will also be helpful. References. In addition to the references listed at the end, I refer to the following of my course notes: GT Group Theory (v3.00, 2007). FT Fields and Galois Theory (v4.20, 2008).

Thus we first look at the various definitions of an elliptic curve. Fix a ground field k which, for simplicity, we take to be algebraically closed. An elliptic curve over k can be defined, according to taste, as: (a) (char.k/ 2; 3) a projective plane curve over k of the form ¤ Y 2Z X 3 aXZ bZ3; 4a3 27b2 0 (1) D C C C ¤ I (b) a nonsingular projective curve of genus one together with a distinguished point; (c) a nonsingular projective curve together with a group structure defined by regular maps, or (d) (k C/ an algebraic curve E such that E.C/ C= (as a complex manifold) for D some lattice in C. We briefly sketch the proof of the equivalence of these definitions (see also Milne 2006, Chapter II). (a) (b). The condition 4a3 27b2 0 implies that the curve is nonsingular. Since ! C ¤ it is defined by an equation of degree 3, it has genus 1. Take the distinguished point to be .0 1 0/. W W (b) (a). Let be the distinguished point on the curve E of genus 1. The Riemann- ! 1 Roch theorem says that dim L.D/ deg.D/ 1 g deg.D/ D C D where L.D/ f k.E/ div.f / D 0 : D f 2 j C g On taking D 2 and D 3 successively, we find that there exists a rational function D 1 D 1 x on E with a pole of exact order 2 at and no other poles, and a rational function y on 1 E with a pole of exact order 3 at and no other poles. The map 1 P .x.P / y.P / 1/, P ; 7! W W ¤ 1 .0 1 0/ 1 7! W W defines an embedding 2 E, P : ! On applying the Riemann-Roch theorem to 6 , we find that there is relation (1) between 1 x and y, and therefore the image is a curve defined by an equation (1). 1 2 INTRODUCTION (a,b) (c): Let Div0.E/ be the group of divisors of degree zero on E, and let Pic0.E/ ! be its quotient by the group of principal divisors; thus Pic0.E/ is the group of divisor classes of degree zero on E.

  • A Note on Presentation of General Linear Groups Over a Finite Field
    Southeast Asian Bulletin of Mathematics (2019) 43: 217–224 Southeast Asian Bulletin of Mathematics c SEAMS. 2019 A Note on Presentation of General Linear Groups over a Finite Field Swati Maheshwari and R. K. Sharma Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Received 22 September 2016 Accepted 20 June 2018 Communicated by J.M.P. Balmaceda AMS Mathematics Subject Classification(2000): 20F05, 16U60, 20H25 Abstract. In this article we have given Lie regular generators of linear group GL(2, Fq), n where Fq is a finite field with q = p elements. Using these generators we have obtained presentations of the linear groups GL(2, F2n ) and GL(2, Fpn ) for each positive integer n. Keywords: Lie regular units; General linear group; Presentation of a group; Finite field. 1. Introduction Suppose F is a finite field and GL(n, F) is the general linear the group of n × n invertible matrices and SL(n, F) is special linear group of n × n matrices with determinant 1. We know that GL(n, F) can be written as a semidirect product, GL(n, F)= SL(n, F) oF∗, where F∗ denotes the multiplicative group of F. Let H and K be two groups having presentations H = hX | Ri and K = hY | Si, then a presentation of semidirect product of H and K is given by, −1 H oη K = hX, Y | R,S,xyx = η(y)(x) ∀x ∈ X,y ∈ Y i, where η : K → Aut(H) is a group homomorphism. Now we summarize some literature survey related to the presentation of groups.

  • Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication and Modular Functions, by Goro Shimura, Princeton Univ
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 36, Number 3, Pages 405{408 S 0273-0979(99)00784-3 Article electronically published on April 27, 1999 Abelian varieties with complex multiplication and modular functions, by Goro Shimura, Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ, 1998, xiv + 217 pp., $55.00, ISBN 0-691-01656-9 The subject that might be called “explicit class field theory” begins with Kro- necker’s Theorem: every abelian extension of the field of rational numbers Q is a subfield of a cyclotomic field Q(ζn), where ζn is a primitive nth root of 1. In other words, we get all abelian extensions of Q by adjoining all “special values” of e(x)=exp(2πix), i.e., with x Q. Hilbert’s twelfth problem, also called Kronecker’s Jugendtraum, is to do something2 similar for any number field K, i.e., to generate all abelian extensions of K by adjoining special values of suitable special functions. Nowadays we would add that the reciprocity law describing the Galois group of an abelian extension L/K in terms of ideals of K should also be given explicitly. After K = Q, the next case is that of an imaginary quadratic number field K, with the real torus R/Z replaced by an elliptic curve E with complex multiplication. (Kronecker knew what the result should be, although complete proofs were given only later, by Weber and Takagi.) For simplicity, let be the ring of integers in O K, and let A be an -ideal. Regarding A as a lattice in C, we get an elliptic curve O E = C/A with End(E)= ;Ehas complex multiplication, or CM,by .If j=j(A)isthej-invariant ofOE,thenK(j) is the Hilbert class field of K, i.e.,O the maximal abelian unramified extension of K.

The main goal of these lectures was to discuss some recent developments, and to familiarize the audience with some of the techniques involved. The present notes were written with the same goal in mind. It should be mentioned right away that we intend to discuss only a small number of topics. The bulk of the paper is devoted to models of Shimura varieties over discrete valuation rings of mixed characteristics. Part of the discussion only deals with primes of residue characteristic p such that the group G in question is unramified at p, so that good reduction is expected. Even at such primes, however, many technical problems present themselves, to begin with the “right” definitions. There is a rather large class of Shimura data—those called of pre-abelian type—for which the corresponding Shimura variety can be related, if maybe somewhat indirectly, to a moduli space of abelian varieties. At present, this seems the only available tool for constructing “good” integral models. Thus, 1 if we restrict our attention to Shimura varieties of pre-abelian type, the con- struction of integral canonical models (defined in 3) divides itself into two § parts: Formal aspects.

    A TORELLI THEOREM FOR MODULI SPACES OF PARABOLIC VECTOR BUNDLES OVER AN ELLIPTIC CURVE THIAGO FASSARELLA AND LUANA JUSTO Abstract. Let C be an elliptic curve, w ∈ C, and let S ⊂ C be a finite subset of cardinality at least 3. We prove a Torelli type theorem for the moduli space of rank two parabolic vector bundles with determinant line bundle OC (w) over (C,S) which are semistable with respect to a weight vector 1 1 2 ,..., 2 . 1. Introduction Let C be a smooth complex curve of genus g ≥ 2 and fix w ∈ C. Let M be the corresponding moduli space of semistable rank two vector bundles having OC (w) as determinant line bundle. A classical Torelli type theorem of D. Mumford and P. Newstead [MN68] says that the isomorphism class of M determines the isomorphism class of C. This result has been extended first in [Tyu70, NR75, KP95] to higher rank and later to the parabolic context, which we now describe. We now assume g ≥ 0. Let S ⊂ C be a finite subset of cardinality n ≥ 1. Let Ma be the moduli space of rank two parabolic vector bundles on (C,S) with fixed determinant line bundle OC (w), and which are µa-semistable, see Section 2. The subscript a refers to a particular choice of a weight vector a = (a1, . , an) of real numbers, 0 ≤ ai ≤ 1, which gives the slope-stability condition. The moduli 1 1 space associated to the central weight aF = 2 ,..., 2 is particularly interesting, for instance when g = 0 and n ≥ 5 it is a Fano variety that is smooth if n is odd and has isolated singularities if n is even, see [Muk05, Cas15, AM16, AFKM19].

  • Siegel Modular Varieties and Borel-Serre Compactification of Modular Curves
    Siegel modular varieties and Borel-Serre compactification of modular curves Michele Fornea December 11, 2015 1 Scholze’s Theorem on Torsion classes To motivate the study of Siegel modular varieties and Borel-Serre compactifica- tions let me recall Scholze’s theorem on torsion classes. i We start from an Hecke eigenclass h 2 H (Xg=Γ; Fp) where Xg is the locally symmetric domain for GLg, and we want to attach to it a continuous semisimple Galois representation ρh : GQ ! GLg(Fp) such that the characteristic polyno- mials of the Frobenius classes at unramified primes are determined by the Hecke eigenvalues of h. Problem: Xg=Γ is not algebraic in general, in fact it could be a real manifold of odd dimension; while the most powerful way we know to construct Galois representations is by considering étale cohomology of algebraic varieties. Idea(Clozel): Find the cohomology of Xg=Γ in the cohomology of the boundary BS of the Borel-Serre compactification Ag of Siegel modular varieties. 1.0.1 Properties of the Borel-Serre compactification BS • Ag is a real manifold with corners. BS • The inclusion Ag ,! Ag is an homotopy equivalence (same cohomology). BS • The boundary of Ag is parametrized by parabolic subgroups of Sp2g and consists of torus bundles over arithmetic domains for the Levi subgroups of each parabolic. BS It follows from the excision exact sequence for the couple (Ag ;@) that i one can associate to the Hecke eigenclass h 2 H (Xg=Γ; Fp) another eigenclass 0 i h 2 H (Ag; Fp) whose eigenvalues are precisely related to those of h.

We discussed mirror symmetry of tori in [12] emphasizing its “noncom- mutative” generalization. In this paper, we concentrate on the case of a commutative (usual) torus. Our result is a generalization of one by Polishchuk and Zaslow [42], [41], who studied the case of elliptic curve. The main results of this paper establish a dictionary of mirror symmetry between symplectic geometry and complex geometry in the case of tori of arbitrary dimension. We wrote this dictionary in the introduction of [12]. We present the argument in a way so that it suggests a possibility of its generalization.

BRAUER GROUPS OF ABELIAN SCHEMES BY RAYMOND T. HOOBLER 0 Let A be an abelian variety over a field /c. Mumford has given a very beautiful construction of the dual abelian variety in the spirit of Grothen- dieck style algebraic geometry by using the theorem of the square, its corollaries, and cohomology theory. Since the /c-points of Pic^n is H1 (A, G^), it is natural to ask how much of this work carries over to higher cohomology groups where the computations must be made in the etale topology to render them non-trivial. Since H2 (A, Gm) is essentially a torsion group, the representability of the corresponding functor does not have as much geometric interest as for H1 (A, G^).
