On the rank of abelian varieties over function fields
by
Amilcar Pacheco
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Let C be a smooth projective curve defined over a number field k, A/k(C) an abelian variety and (, B) the k(C)/k-trace of A. We estimate how the rank of A(k(C))/ B(k) varies when we take a finite Galois k-cover :C' C defined over k.
