The Strong Torsion Conjecture for abelian varieties

About 20 years old · traced to

Let KK be a number field, let g,d≥1g,d\geq 1, and let n(g,d)≥1n(g,d)\geq 1 be an integer depending on gg and dd.

Strong Torsion Conjecture. If n≥n(g,d)n\geq n(g,d), then there are no dimension-gg abelian varieties AA defined over KK, with [K:Q]≤d[K:\mathbb Q]\leq d, that have a KK-rational torsion point of order nn.

The conjecture is the abelian-variety torsion statement used in the source to obtain the weak Main Conjecture for modular towers. The excerpt attributes it to the cited literature but does not supply a resolution.
