Let A be an abelian variety over a function field K in one variable over a finite field k. Let v be a place of K. In this paper we will study the topology induced on A(K) by the v-adic topology on A(Kv). In many cases this will lead to bounds for the v-adic distance between points in A(K) in terms of their height and to abelian analogues of Leopoldt’s conjecture. This paper also studies the question of integral points on affine open subsets of Abelian varieties in positive characteristics. In the classical case of number fields, Lang has conjectured and Faltings [F] proved that for A be an abelian variety over the number field K, if V is an affine open subset of A and S is a finite set of places of K, then the set of S-integral points of V is finite. Faltings has also a non-effective bound. Buium and the author [BV] obtained a similar result for function fields of characteristic zero, but in positive characteristic the problem has not been studied, except in dimension 1, i.e., for elliptic curves. In this case we have obtained, in [V], results on this problem. In this paper we will obtain a result under restrictive, but quite general, hypotheses for abelian varieties of arbitrary dimension and deduce the finiteness of integral points on affine subsets under these hypotheses. Our strategy will be similar to [BV]. The question of integral points is related to estimates for the v-adic distance from rational points to a divisor and this in turn will be estimated by the distance to a subvariety of smaller dimension. This inductive procedure, in the present situation, is provided by a general result of Hrushovski ([H], see theorem 1 below) and reduces the problem to our basic question of estimating v-adic distance between points. We do not solve our problem in full generality. Our results are restricted to the cases when either A has ”sufficiently general moduli”(in a sense that will be precised below) or is an elliptic curve defined over a finite field. The intermediate cases are still open.
