We look at the elliptic curve E(q), where q is a fixed rational number. A point (p,r) on E(q) is called a rational point if both p and r are rational numbers. We introduce the concept of conjugate points and show that not both can be…
Using Weil descent, we give bounds for the number of rational points on two families of curves over finite fields with a large abelian group of automorphisms: Artin-Schreier curves of the form $y^q-y=f(x)$ with $f\in\Fqr[x]$, on which the…
By the Mordell-Weil theorem the group of Q(z)-rational points of an elliptic curve is finitely generated. It is not known whether the rank of this group can get arbitrary large as the curve varies. Mestre and Nagao have constructed examples…
In this article we perform an extensive study of the spaces of automorphic forms for GL(2) of weight two and level N, for N an ideal in the ring of integers of the quartic CM field generated by the twelfth roots of unity. This study is…
We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…
We define a quadratically enriched count of rational curves in a given divisor class passing through a collection of points on a del Pezzo surface $S$ of degree $\geq 3$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2,3.$ When $S$ is…
The resultant of two univariate polynomials is an invariant of great importance in commutative algebra and vastly used in computer algebra systems. Here we present an algorithm to compute it over Artinian principal rings with a modified…
In this paper we construct parameterizations of elliptic curves over the rationals which have many consecutive integral multiples. Using these parameterizations, we perform searches in GMP and Magma to find curves with points of small…
We show that, conditional on Zywina's effective version of the Serre uniformity conjecture, there is a natural way to parameterize non-CM $\mathbb{Q}$-rational points on all modular curves in terms of the rational points on finitely many…
We study a type of generalized double coset operators which may change the characters of modular forms. For any pair of characters $v_1$ and $v_2$, we describe explicitly those operators mapping modular forms of character $v_1$ to those of…
The modularity of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ can be expressed either as an analytic statement that the $L$-function is the Mellin transform of a modular form, or as a geometric statement that $E$ is a quotient of a modular curve…
Let F be the cyclotomic field of fifth roots of unity. We computationally investigate modularity of elliptic curves over F.
We obtain an explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients of the elliptic modular polynomials $\Phi_N$ for any $N\geq1$. These polynomials vanish at pairs of $j$-invariants of elliptic curves linked by cyclic isogenies of degree…
It is shown that, under some mild technical conditions, representations of prime numbers by binary quadratic forms can be computed in polynomial complexity by exploiting Schoof's algorithm, which counts the number of $\mathbb F_q$-points of…
We study second-order modular differential equations whose solutions transform equivariantly under the modular group. In the reducible case, we construct all such solutions using an explicit ansatz involving Eisenstein series and the…
For a square-free integer $N$, we present a procedure to compute $\mathbb{Q}$-curves parametrized by rational points of the modular curve $X_0^*(N)$ when this is hyperelliptic.
We present several new heuristic algorithms to compute class polynomials and modular polynomials modulo a prime $p$ by revisiting the idea of working with supersingular elliptic curves. The best known algorithms to this date are based on…
We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+f(t)$, where $f\in k[t]$ has coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. By performing $2$ and $3$-descent, we obtain, under suitable…
We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
Counterparts of several classical results of number theory are proven for the ring of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. A theorem of Milnor that determines the Witt ring of a function field is applied to prove an analogue of…
