For certain families of elliptic curves admitting a rational isogeny of prime degree $\ell$, we establish a central limit theorem for the Tamagawa ratio and derive bounds on its average value. By using the Tamagawa ratio to bound the size…

We present seven theorems on the structure of prime order torsion points on CM elliptic curves defined over number fields. The first three results refine bounds of Silverberg and Prasad-Yogananda by taking into account the class number of…

For a given elliptic curve E in short Weierstrass form, we show that almost all quadratic twists E_D have no integral points, as D ranges over square-free integers ordered by size. Our result is conditional on a weak form of the Hall-Lang…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ be a quadratic field for an odd prime $p$. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which no elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has torsion subgroup $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times…

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 paper, we present details of seven elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(u)$ with rank $2$ and torsion group $\mathbb{Z}/ 8\mathbb{Z}$ and five curves over $\mathbb{Q}(u)$ with rank $2$ and torsion group $\mathbb{Z}/ 2\mathbb{Z} \times…

We define a computable topological invariant $\mu(\gamma)$ for generic closed planar regular curves $\gamma$, which gives an effective lower bound for the number of inflection points on a given generic closed planar curve. Using it, we…

We unconditionally determine $I_\Q(d)$, the set of possible prime degrees of cyclic $K$-isogneies of elliptic curves with $\Q$-rational $j$-invariants and without complex multiplication over number fields $K$ of degree $\leq d$, for $d\leq…

A classical theorem of Siegel asserts that the set of S-integral points of an algebraic curve C over a number field is finite unless C has genus 0 and at most two points at infinity. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions…

We generalize Siegel's theorem on integral points on affine curves to integral points of bounded degree, giving a complete characterization of affine curves with infinitely many integral points of degree d or less over some number field.…

Let P(x,y) be a rational polynomial and k in Q be a generic value. If the curve (P(x,y)=k) is irreducible and admits an infinite number of points whose coordinates are integers then there exist algebraic automorphisms that send P(x,y) to…

It is a classical result (apparently due to Tate) that all elliptic curves with a torsion point of order n ($4 \leq n \leq 10$, or n = 12) lie in a one-parameter family. However, this fact does not appear to have been used ever for…

The classification of elliptic curves E over the rationals Q is studied according to their torsion subgroups E_{tors}(Q) of rational points. Explicit criteria for the classification are given when E_{tors}(Q) are cyclic groups with even…

In this paper we consider smooth affine elliptic plane curves having one place at infinity. We identify them with elliptic projective plane curves having only one cusp as their singular points and meeting with the line at infinity only at…

We give explicit uniform bounds for several quantities relevant to the study of Galois representations attached to elliptic curves $E/\mathbb Q$. We consider in particular the subgroup of scalars in the image of Galois, the first Galois…

If P is an algebraic point on a commutative group scheme A/K, then P is _almost_rational_ if no two non-trivial Galois conjugates sigma(P), tau(P), have sum equal to 2P. In this paper, we classify almost rational torsion points on…

Mazur's Theorem states that there are precisely 15 possibilities for the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers. It was previously shown by Harron and Snowden that the number of isomorphism classes of…

We bound the j-invariant of S-integral points on arbitrary modular curves over arbitrary fields, in terms of the congruence group defining the curve, assuming a certain Runge condition is satisfied by our objects. We then apply our bounds…

Let $K$ be a number field and $O_K$ the ring of integers of $K$. In the spirit of Siegel's theorem on integral points on affine algebraic curves, the plane Jacobian conjecture over $K$ is equivalent to the following statement: if $P,Q\in…

Consider the elliptic curve $E$ given by the Weierstrass equation $y^2 = x^3 - 11x - 14$, which has complex multiplication by the order of conductor $2$ inside $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. It was recently observed in a paper of Daniels and…
