Divisibility of torsion subgroups of abelian surfaces over number fields

Publication date 14 February 2022

Abstract: Let

A

be a 2-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field

K

. Fix a prime number

e l l

and suppose

for a set of primes

m a t h f r a k p s u b s e t m a t h c a l O_{K}

of density 1. When

e l l = 2

Serre has shown that there does not necessarily exist a

K

-isogenous

A^{'}

such that

. We extend those results to all odd

e l l

and classify the abelian varieties that fail this divisibility principle for torsion in terms of the image of the mod-

e l l^{2}

representation.
