Hilbertianity of division fields of commutative algebraic groups

摘要

Let G be a commutative algebraic group over a finitely generated infinite field K of characteristic p. We prove that every extension of K contained in the field obtained by adjoining to K all prime-to-p torsion points of G is Hilbertian. We also determine when the field obtained by adjoining to K all torsion points of G has this property. This extends results of Moshe Jarden on abelian varieties.
