Abstract: We study Calabi-Yau threefolds fibered by abelian surfaces, in particular, their arithmetic properties, e.g., N'eron models and Zariski density.


There are many interesting questions related to the rational points on a variety both in number theory and in algebraic geometry. There are many conjectures in this areas but not much is known when the variety \(X\) has dimension greater than two and Kodaira dimension zero. In this paper, the authors study the case of a threefold \(X\) which admits a fibration in abelian surfaces. In this context, they explain which is the relation between the rational points of \(X\), the Mordell-Weil group of the generic fiber of the fibration and its Néron model. In particular, they prove that the smooth locus of a fibration in abelian surface \(X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1\) of a Calabi-Yau threefold is the Néron model of the generic fiber. Moreover the authors use this result to prove that if \(X\) admits, up to a modification \(\tilde{X}\rightarrow X\), another transversal fibration, then the rational points are dense on \(X\). In the last part of the paper, there are many interesting examples of the situations discussed in the previous parts.
