Abstract

AbstractLet A be the product of an abelian variety and a torus over a number field K, and let $$m \ge 2$$ be a square-free integer. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of K such that the reduction $(\alpha \bmod \mathfrak p)$ is well defined and has order coprime to m. This set admits a natural density, which we are able to express as a finite sum of products of $\ell$ -adic integrals, where $\ell$ varies in the set of prime divisors of m. We deduce that the density is a rational number, whose denominator is bounded (up to powers of m) in a very strong sense. This extends the results of the paper Reductions of points on algebraic groups by Davide Lombardo and the second author, where the case m prime is established.

Summary

Introduction

This article is the continuation of the paper Reductions of points on algebraic groups by Davide Lombardo and the second author [4]. We refer to this other work for the history of the problem, which started in the 1960s with work of Hasse on the multiplicative orders of rational numbers modulo primes. If α ∈ A(K) is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes p of K such that the reduction (α mod p) is well defined and has order coprime to m. This set admits a natural density (see Theorem 7), which we denote by Densm(α)

The main question is whether we can write
We define the torsion fields
We define the fields
The discriminant
The image of ρE is contained in the subgroup
The point α satisfies
