Cadoret–Tamagawa genus-growth conjecture for torsion multisections

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let kk be a finitely generated field over Q\mathbb{Q}, let BB be a smooth curve over kk, and let π:A→B\pi:\mathcal{A}\to B be an abelian scheme with no non-trivial isotrivial abelian subscheme. For a positive integer nn, let A[n]×A[n]^{\times} denote the set of torsion points in A(K‾)A(\overline{K}) of exact order nn. For each x∈A[n]×x\in A[n]^{\times}, let CxC_x be the Zariski closure of xx in A\mathcal{A}, and define

g(n)=min⁡x∈A[n]×g(Cx).g(n)=\min_{x\in A[n]^{\times}}g(C_x).

Cadoret–Tamagawa conjecture. One has

lim⁡n→∞g(n)=+∞.\lim_{n\to\infty}g(n)=+\infty.

This conjecture concerns the increasing complexity of torsion multisections in non-isotrivial abelian schemes and is attributed in the source to Cadoret and Tamagawa. The supplied source does not state whether it is open or resolved.
