Moshe Jarden (Tel Aviv University),
Torsion on Abelian Varieties over Large Algebraic Fields.
A conjecture of Geyer and the speaker from 1978 asserts
finiteness and infiniteness of the torsion part of abelian varieties over
large algebraic fields. A theorem of Geyer and the speaker says the
conjecture holds for elliptic curve. The aim of the talk is to prove
several parts of the conjecture for arbitrary abelian varieties.
