We have for positive integers $n$, $k$ and finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, $c(n,k,q)$, as the number of simultaneous similarity classes of $k$-tuples of commuting $n\times n$ matrices over the $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, it has been shown…
Let $k\ge 3$ be an integer, $q$ be a prime power, and $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the field of $q$ elements. Let $f_i, g_i\in\mathbb{F}_q[X]$, $3\le i\le k$, such that $g_i(-X) = -\, g_i(X)$. We define a graph $S(k,q) =…
We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field $K$ having a prescribed torsion group $T$ as a subgroup. Let $T=\Z/m\Z \oplus \Z/n\Z$, where $m|n$, be a torsion group such that the modular curve…
Given a smooth projective curve C defined over a number field and given two elliptic surfaces E_1/C and E_2/C along with sections P_i and Q_i of E_i (for i = 1,2), we prove that if there exist infinitely many algebraic points t on C such…
In this paper we study the factors of some alternating sums of products of binomial and q-binomial coefficients. We prove that for all positive integers n_1,...,n_m, n_{m+1}=n_1, and 0\leq j\leq m-1, {n_1+n_{m}\brack…
Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…
We give explicit formulas for the number of points on reductions of elliptic curves with complex multiplication by any imaginary quadratic field. We also find models for CM $\mathbf{Q}$-curves in certain cases. This generalizes earlier…
Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and C an elliptic curve over K given by a Weierstrass equation. To divide an element of the group C by 2, one must solve a certain quartic equation. We characterise the quartics arising…
We will describe an algorithm to construct an elliptic curve $E_{f_q}$ over some prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$ such that such that $|E_{f_q}(\mathbb{F}_p)| = f_q$, where $f_q$ is a probable Fibonacci prime for some prime index $q$. The…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^e$ elements, where $p$ is a prime and $e\geq 1$ is an integer. Let $\ell<n$ be two positive integers. Fix a monic polynomial $u(x)=x^n +u_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots +u_{\ell+1}x^{\ell+1} \in…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a field $K$ (with $char(K)\neq 2$) given by a Weierstrass equation and let $P=(x,y)\in E(K)$ be a point. Then for each $n$ $\geq 1$ and some $\gamma \in K^{\ast }$ we can write the $x$- and…
In this paper we determine the quadratic points on the modular curves X_0(N), where the curve is non-hyperelliptic, the genus is 3, 4 or 5, and the Mordell--Weil group of J_0(N) is finite. The values of N are 34, 38, 42, 44, 45, 51, 52, 54,…
We consider a variant of a question of N. Koblitz. For an elliptic curve $E/\Q$ which is not $\Q$-isogenous to an elliptic curve with torsion, Koblitz has conjectured that there exists infinitely many primes $p$ such that…
We present a general method for analytically factorizing the n-fold form factor integrals $f^{(n)}_{N,N}(t)$ for the correlation functions of the Ising model on the diagonal in terms of the hypergeometric functions…
A covariant functor on the elliptic curves with complex multiplication is constructed. The functor takes values in the noncommutative tori with real multiplication. A conjecture on the rank of an elliptic curve is formulated.
Let F_{q^n} be the field of order q^n, and let Tr be the trace map from F_{q^n} to its q-element subfield. We exhibit nine sequences of polynomials of the form f(x):=x+c*Tr(x^k), with c in F_{q^n}, such that for each polynomial the function…
We show how rational points on certain varieties parametrize phenomena arising in the Galois theory of iterates of quadratic polynomials. As an example, we characterize completely the set of quadratic polynomials $x^2+c$ whose third iterate…
Let $a,b$ be fixed positive coprime integers. For a positive integer $g$, write $W_k(g)$ for the set of lattice paths from the startpoint $(0,0)$ to the endpoint $(ga,gb)$ with steps restricted to $\{(1,0), (0,1)\}$, having exactly $k$…
We describe a system of plane algebraic curves defined over \Z, attached naturally to the exponential function. On of these is a remarkable curve of degree 6 that has genus equal to 1. As the sectic curve has rational points, it is an…
We determine all modular curves $X_0(N)$ with infinitely many quartic points. To do this, we define a pairing that induces a quadratic form representing all possible degrees of a rational morphism from $X_0(N)$ to a positive rank elliptic…
