Abstract: Given a point $xi$ on a complex abelian variety $A$, its abelian logarithm can be expressed as a linear combination of the periods of $A$ with real coefficients, the Betti coordinates of $xi$. When $(A,xi)$ varies in an algebraic family, these coordinates define a system of multivalued real-analytic functions. Computing its rank (in the sense of differential geometry) becomes important when one is interested about how often $xi$ takes a torsion value (for instance, Manin's theorem of the kernel implies that this coordinate system is constant in a family without fixed part only when $xi$ is a torsion section). We compute this rank in terms of the rank of a certain contracted form of the Kodaira-Spencer map associated to $(A,xi)$ (assuming $A$ without fixed part, and $mathbbZxi$ Zariski-dense in $A$), and deduce some explicit lower bounds in special situations. For instance, we determine this rank in relative dimension $leq3$, and study in detail the case of jacobians of families of hyperelliptic curves. Our main application, obtained in collaboration with Z. Gao, states that if $AoS$ is a principally polarized abelian scheme of relative dimension $g$ which has no non-trivial endomorphism (on any finite covering), and if the image of $S$ in the moduli space $mathcal{A}_g$ has dimension at least $g$, then the Betti map of any non-torsion section $xi$ is generically a submersion, so that $x{i}^{-1}{A}_{tors}$ is dense in $S(mathbbC)$.
