A structure theorem on the Mordell-Weil group of abelian varieties which arise as the twists associated with various double covers of varieties is proved. As an application, a three-parameter family of elliptic curves whose generic Mordell-Weil rank is four is constructed. * 1995 Academic Press. Inc

✦ Synopsis
We examine the Mazur-Tate canonical height pairing defined between an abelian variety over a global field and its dual. We show in the case of global function fields that certain of these pairings are annihilated by universal norms coming from Carlitz cyclotomic extensions. Furthermore, for elliptic curves we find conditions for the triviality of these universal norms.

We develop efficient methods for deterministic computations with semi-algebraic sets and apply them to the problem of counting points on curves and Abelian varieties over finite fields. For Abelian varieties of dimension g in projective N space over Fq, we improve Pila's result and show that the pro
In this paper we study the characteristic polynomials and the rational point group structure of supersingular varieties of dimension two over finite fields. Meanwhile, we also list all L-functions of supersingular curves of genus two over ކ 2 and determine the group structure of their divisor clas
In this paper we prove several theorems about abelian varieties over finite fields by studying the set of monic real polynomials of degree 2n all of whose roots lie on the unit circle. In particular, we consider a set V n of vectors in R n that give the coefficients of such polynomials. We calculate
