Generic rank of Betti map and unlikely intersections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathcalAightarrowS be an abelian scheme over an irreducible variety over mathbbC of relative dimension g. For any simply-connected subset Delta of Smathrman one can define the Betti map from mathcalADelta to mathbbT2g, the real torus of dimension 2g, by identifying each closed fiber of mathcalADeltaightarrowDelta with mathbbT2g via the Betti homology. Computing the generic rank of the Betti map restricted to a subvariety X of mathcalA is useful to study Diophantine problems, e.g. proving the Geometric Bogomolov Conjecture over characteristic 0 and studying the relative Manin-Mumford conjecture. In this paper we give a geometric criterion to detect this rank. As an application we show that it is maximal after taking a large enough fibered power (if X satisfies some conditions): it is an important step to prove the bound for the number of rational points on curves [DGH20]. Another application is to answer a question of Andr'e-Corvaja-Zannier and improve a result of Voisin. We also systematically study its link with the relative Manin-Mumford conjecture, reducing the latter to a simpler conjecture. Our tools are functional transcendence and unlikely intersections for mixed Shimura varieties.
