A. Silverberg et Yg. Zarhin, SEMISTABLE REDUCTION OF ABELIAN-VARIETIES OVER EXTENSIONS OF SMALL DEGREE, Journal of pure and applied algebra, 132(2), 1998, pp. 179-193
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for abelian varieties to
acquire semistable reduction over fields of low degree. Our criteria
are expressed in terms of torsion points of small order defined over u
nramified extensions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
