We obtain new average results on the conjectures of Lang-Trotter and Sato-Tate about elliptic curves.
The cyclicity and Koblitz conjectures ask about the distribution of primes of cyclic and prime-order reduction, respectively, for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. In 1976, Serre gave a conditional proof of the cyclicity conjecture, but…
For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\ratq$ and an integer $r$ let $\pi_E^r(x)$ be the number of primes $p\le x$ of good reduction such that the trace of the Frobenius morphism of $E/\fie_p$ equals $r$. We consider the quantity $\pi_E^r(x)$ on…
Following Lang and Trotter we describe a probabilistic model that predicts the distribution of primes $p$ with given Frobenius traces at $p$ for two fixed elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. In addition, we propose explicit Euler product…
Silverman and Stange define the notion of an aliquot cycle of length L for a fixed elliptic curve E defined over the rational numbers, and conjecture an order of magnitude for the function which counts such aliquot cycles. In the present…
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. In 1988, Koblitz conjectured a precise asymptotic for the number of primes p up to x such that the order of the group of points of E over the finite field F_p is prime. This is an analogue of the Hardy and…
We present several results related to statistics for elliptic curves over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ as corollaries of a general theorem about averages of Euler products that we demonstrate. In this general framework, we can reprove…
We obtain average results on the Sato-Tate conjecture for elliptic curves for small angles.
For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication, Lang and Trotter conjectured that the number of primes $p <X$ at which $E$ has a supersingular reduction is asymptotically equal to $c\sqrt{X}/\log X$, where $c>0$…
For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication, Lang and Trotter conjecture \[ \# \{ p<X \mid E \text{ has a supersingular reduction at } p \} \sim \frac{c\sqrt{X}}{\log X} \] as $X \rightarrow \infty$, where…
We prove asymptotic formulas for cyclicity of reductions of elliptic curves over the rationals in a family of curves having specified torsion. These results agree with established conditional results and with average results taken over…
Inspired by the work of Lang-Trotter on the densities of primes with fixed Frobenius traces for elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and by the subsequent generalization of Cojocaru-Davis-Silverberg-Stange to generic abelian varieties,…
We develop a theory of surfaces with boundary moving by mean curvature flow. In particular, we prove a general existence theorem by elliptic regularization, and we prove boundary regularity at all positive times under very mild hypotheses.
We obtain distribution results for traces of Frobenius for various families of elliptic curves with respect to the Lang-Trotter conjecture, extremal primes, and the central limit theorem. This includes some generalisations and bounds…
A common practice in arithmetic geometry is that of generalizing rational points on projective varieties to integral points on quasi-projective varieties. Following this practice, we demonstrate an analogue of a result of L. Caporaso, J.…
We investigate the average value of the Frobenius trace at p over elliptic curves in a fixed conductor range with given rank. Plotting this average as p varies over the primes yields a striking oscillating pattern, the details of which vary…
Silverman and Stange defined the notion of an aliquot cycle of length $L$ for a fixed elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, and conjectured an order of magnitude for the function that counts such aliquot cycles. We show that the conjectured upper…
We show that the Lang-Trotter conjecture for pairs of elliptic curves implies new cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in $\mathcal{A}_3$. Unlike previous results for curves in $\mathcal{A}_g$, our result does not rely on any…
We obtain new results concerning Lang-Trotter conjecture on Frobenius traces and Frobenius fields over single and double parametric families of elliptic curves. We also obtain similar results with respect to the Sato-Tate conjecture. In…
In 2021, Daqing Wan and Ping Xi studied the equivalence of the Lang-Trotter conjecture for CM elliptic curves and the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture for primes represented by a quadratic polynomial. Wan and Xi provided an alternative…
