Silverberg, A. Points of finite order on abelian varieties. (English) Zbl 0787.14028 \(p\)-adic methods in number theory and algebraic geometry, Contemp. Math. 133, 175-193 (1992). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0752.00052.]Let \(A\) be an abelian variety of dimension \(d\) defined over a number field \(M\). The paper is mainly a survey article about explicit upper bounds of the order of \(A(M)\). Such upper bounds are given in the cases where:(i) \(A\) has everywhere potentially good reduction.(ii) \(A\) is of CM-type.(iii) \(A\) has purely additive reduction at a discrete valuation \(v\) of \(M\).The special case of elliptic curves is also considered.In addition an explicit lower bound on ramification in extensions of number fields obtained by adjoining torsion on abelian varieties of CM- type is found.
