We present a heuristic argument based on Honda–Tate theory against many conjectures in ‘unlikely intersections’ over the algebraic closure of a finite field; notably, we conjecture that every abelian variety of dimension 4 is isogenous to a Jacobian. Using methods of additive combinatorics, we answer a related question of Chai and Oort where the ambient Shimura variety is a power of the modular curve.

AbstractWe study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructureAof a pseudo-finite fieldF. We show that the behavior of this group, even whenAis large, depends essentially on the roots of unity inF. For almost all completions of the theory of pseudofinite fields, we show that overA, algebraic closure agrees with definable closure, as soon asAcontains the relative algebraic closure of the prime field.

A field K is called ample if every smooth K-curve that has a K-rational point has infinitely many of them. We prove two theorems to support the following conjecture, which is inspired by classical infinite rank results: Every non-zero Abelian variety A over an ample field K which is not algebraic over a finite field has infinite rank. First, the ℤ(p)-module A(K) ⊗ ℤ(p) is not finitely generated, where p is the characteristic of K. In particular, the conjecture holds for fields of characteristic zero. Second, if K is an infinite finitely generated field and S is a finite set of local primes of K, then every Abelian variety over K acquires infinite rank over certain subfields of the maximal totally S-adic Galois extension of K. This strengthens a recent infinite rank result of Geyer and Jarden.

Frobenius Endomorphism

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{F}_{p}}$ of the finite field of prime order $p$ and let $F:\mathbf{G}\rightarrow \mathbf{G}$ be a Frobenius endomorphism with $G=\mathbf{G}^{F}$ the corresponding $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational structure. One of the strongest links we have between the representation theory of $G$ and the geometry of the unipotent conjugacy classes of $\mathbf{G}$ is a formula, due to Lusztig (Adv. Math. 94(2) (1992), 139–179), which decomposes Kawanaka’s Generalized Gelfand–Graev Representations (GGGRs) in terms of characteristic functions of intersection cohomology complexes defined on the closure of a unipotent class. Unfortunately, the formula given in Lusztig (Adv. Math. 94(2) (1992), 139–179) is only valid under the assumption that $p$ is large enough. In this article, we show that Lusztig’s formula for GGGRs holds under the much milder assumption that $p$ is an acceptable prime for $\mathbf{G}$ ($p$ very good is sufficient but not necessary). As an application we show that every irreducible character of $G$, respectively, character sheaf of $\mathbf{G}$, has a unique wave front set, respectively, unipotent support, whenever $p$ is good for $\mathbf{G}$.

AbstractGiven a finite field 𝔽p={0,…,p−1} of p elements, where p is a prime, we consider the distribution of elements in the orbits of a transformation ξ↦ψ(ξ) associated with a rational function ψ∈𝔽p(X). We use bounds of exponential sums to show that if N≥p1/2+ε for some fixed ε then no N distinct consecutive elements of such an orbit are contained in any short interval, improving the trivial lower bound N on the length of such intervals. In the case of linear fractional functions we use a different approach, based on some results of additive combinatorics due to Bourgain, that gives a nontrivial lower bound for essentially any admissible value of N.

Counting Points

Let K be a finite algebraic extension of the field of rational functions in one indeterminate over a finite field and let [Formula: see text] denote an algebraic closure of K. We count points in projective space [Formula: see text] with given height and generating a quadratic extension of K. If n > 2, we derive an asymptotic estimate for the number of such points as the height tends to infinity. Such estimates are analogous to previous results of Schmidt where the field K is replaced by the field of rational numbers ℚ.

AbstractTheorem A. Let M be a left R-module such that Th(M) is small and weakly minimal, but does not have Morley rank 1. Let A = acl(∅) ⋂ M and I = {r ∈ R: rM ⊂ A}. Notice that I is an ideal.(i) F = R/Iis a finite field.(ii) Suppose that a, b0,…,bn, ∈ M and . Then there are s, ri ∈ R, i ≤ n, such that sa + Σi≤nribi ∈ A and s ∉ I.It follows from Theorem A that algebraic closure in M is modular. Using this and results in [B1] and [B2], we obtainTheorem B. Let M be as in Theorem A. Then Vaught's conjecture holds for Th(M).

Let$K$be a finitely generated extension of$\mathbb{Q}$, and let$A$be a nonzero abelian variety over$K$. Let$\tilde{K}$be the algebraic closure of$K$, and let$\text{Gal}(K)=\text{Gal}(\tilde{K}/K)$be the absolute Galois group of$K$equipped with its Haar measure. For each$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}\in \text{Gal}(K)$, let$\tilde{K}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$be the fixed field of$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$in$\tilde{K}$. We prove that for almost all$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}\in \text{Gal}(K)$, there exist infinitely many prime numbers$l$such that$A$has a nonzero$\tilde{K}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$-rational point of order$l$. This completes the proof of a conjecture of Geyer–Jarden from 1978 in characteristic 0.

AbstractFor a polynomial f(x) over a finite field Fq, denote the polynomial f(y)−f(x) by ϕf(x, y). The polynomial ϕf has frequently been used in questions on the values of f. The existence is proved here of a polynomial F over Fq of the form F = Lr, where L is an affine linearized polynomial over Fq, such that f = g(F) for some polynomial g and the part of ϕf which splits completely into linear factors over the algebraic closure of Fq is exactly φF. This illuminates an aspect of work of D. R. Hayes and Daqing Wan on the existence of permutation polynomials of even degree. Related results on value sets, including the exhibition of a class of permutation polynomials, are also mentioned.
