Abstract

We study the arithmetic of abelian varieties over K= k(t) where k is an arbitrary field. The main result relates Mordell-Weil groups of certain Jacobians over K to homomorphisms of other Jacobians over k. Our methods also yield completely explicit points on elliptic curves with unbounded rank over p(t) and a new construction of elliptic curves with moderately high rank over ℂ(t).
