Arbitrarily large p-torsion in Tate-Shafarevich groups

Publication date 16 September 2022

Abstract: We show that, for any prime

p

, there exist absolutely simple abelian varieties over

m a t h b b Q

with arbitrarily large

p

-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich group. To prove this, we construct explicit

m u_{p}

-covers of Jacobians of the form

y^{p} = x (x - 1) (x - a)

which violate the Hasse principle.
