Let E be an elliptic curve having Complex Multiplication by the full ring O_K of integers of K=Q(\sqrt{-D}), let H=K(j(E)) be the Hilbert class field of K. Then the Mordell-Weil group E(H) is an O_K-module, and its structure denpends on its…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ which has multiplicative reduction at a fixed prime $p$. For each positive integer $n$ we put $K_n:=\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n])$. The aim of this paper is to extend the author's previous our results…

Let $p>3$ be a prime and $E$ be a supersingular elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$. Let $c$ be a prime with $c < 3p/16$ and $G$ be a subgroup of $E[c]$ of order $c$. The pair $(E,G)$ is called a supersingular elliptic curve with…

Elliptic curves are planar curves which can be used to define an abelian group. The efficient computation of discrete logarithms over this group is a longstanding problem relevant to cryptography. It may be possible to efficiently compute…

The discrete logarithm problem in Jacobians of curves of high genus $g$ over finite fields $\FF_q$ is known to be computable with subexponential complexity $L_{q^g}(1/2, O(1))$. We present an algorithm for a family of plane curves whose…

We present an efficient algorithm to compute the Euler factor of a genus 2 curve C/Q at an odd prime p that is of bad reduction for C but of good reduction for the Jacobian of C (a prime of ``almost good'' reduction). Our approach is based…

We give an algorithm to explicitly determine all elements of the $q$-torsion (for $q$ an odd prime) of the Brauer group of an elliptic curve over any base field of characteristic different from $q$, containing a primitive $q$-th root of…

In this paper we prove some divisibility properties of the cardinality of elliptic curves modulo primes. These proofs explain the good behavior of certain parameters when using Montgomery or Edwards curves in the setting of the elliptic…

In this paper, we intend to study the geometric meaning of the discrete logarithm problem defined over an Elliptic Curve. The key idea is to reduce the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (EC-DLP) into a system of equations. These…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F_\infty$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a number field $F$. Given an elliptic curve $E$ over $F$, we study the structure of the fine Selmer group over $F_\infty$. It is shown that under certain conditions,…
