Hindry–Ratazzi's torsion-growth conjecture for abelian varieties

About 9 years old · traced to

Let AA be an abelian variety isogenous to a product

∏i=1dAini,\prod_{i=1}^d A_i^{n_i},

where the AiA_i are simple abelian varieties that are pairwise non-isogenous. Let γ(A)\gamma(A) be the optimal exponent governing the growth of ∣A(L)tors∣|A(L)_{\mathrm{tors}}| as L/KL/K ranges over finite extensions, and let MT⁡(A)\operatorname{MT}(A) denote the Mumford–Tate group of AA. Hindry–Ratazzi's conjecture. One has

γ(A)=max⁡∅≠I⊂{1,…,d}2∑i∈Inidim⁡Aidim⁡MT⁡(A).\gamma(A)=\max_{\emptyset\neq I\subset\{1,\ldots,d\}}\frac{2\sum_{i\in I}n_i\dim A_i}{\dim\operatorname{MT}(A)}.

This conjecture proposes an optimal formula for the polynomial growth exponent of torsion over finite extensions of a number field, extending explicit formulas known in several cases, including products of elliptic curves, CM-type abelian varieties, and suitable varieties of symplectic-similitude type. Its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
