We introduce a new model for elliptic fibrations endowed with a Mordell-Weil group of rank one. We call it a Q$_7(\mathscr{L},\mathscr{S})$ model. It naturally generalizes several previous models of elliptic fibrations popular in the…

We complete the classification of hyperelliptic threefolds, describing in an elementary way the hyperelliptic threefolds with group $D_4$. These are algebraic and form an irreducible 2-dimensional family. Our paper is fully self-contained.

We analyze general F-theory compactifications with U(1) x U(1) x U(1) Abelian gauge symmetry by constructing the general elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds with a rank three Mordell-Weil group of rational sections. The general…

A rational elliptic surface with section is a smooth, rational, complex, projective surface $\mathcal{X}$ that admits a relatively minimal fibration $f: \mathcal{X}\longrightarrow \bbP^1$ such that its general fibre is a smooth irreducible…

The Mordell-Weil group of an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold X contains information about the abelian sector of the six-dimensional theory obtained by compactifying F-theory on X. After examining features of the abelian anomaly…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\bar{K}$ an algebraic closure of $K$ and $E/K$ an elliptic curve defined over $K$. In this paper, we prove that if $E/K$ has a $K$-rational point $P$ such that $2P\neq O$ and $3P\neq O$, then for each $\sigma\in…

We prove results on the Mordell--Weil rank of elliptic curves $y^2=x(x-\alpha a^2)(x-\beta b^2)$ parametrized by binary quadratic forms $\alpha a^2+\beta b^2=\gamma c^2$. We express our explicit lower bounds over number fields and offer a…

This note is devoted to studying certain families of elliptic surfaces with infinitely many fibers with rank at least 3 or 4 revisiting and combining ideas from of Gary Walsh, Salgado and Loughran, and the author.

We study elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell Weil rank 0, and which has a 2-torsion section $\sigma$ such that the translation by $\sigma$ gives a Shioda-Inose structure.

We investigate fibrations by non-hyperelliptic curves of arithmetic genus three and geometric genus one in characteristic two. Assuming that there is only one moving singularity and that its image in the Frobenius pullback of the fibration…

In this paper we classify all configurations of singular fibers of elliptic fibrations on the double cover of P^2 ramified along six lines in general position.

We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…

In this paper, we consider a family of twists of a superelliptic curve over a global field, and obtain results on the distribution of the Mordell-Weil rank of these twists. Our results have applications to the distribution of the number of…

We study threefolds X in a projective space having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise…

14H52 : Elliptic curves Let E be the elliptic curve given by a Mordell equation y^2=x^3-A where A is an integer. For certain A, we use Stoll's formula to compute a lower bound for the proportion of square-free integers D up to X such that…

We consider an elliptic surface $\pi: \mathcal{E}\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ defined over a number field $k$ and study the problem of comparing the rank of the special fibres over $k$ with that of the generic fibre over $k(\mathbb{P}^1)$. We…

We constructed several families of elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil groups of ranks from 1 to 4. We studied F-theory compactifications on these elliptic K3 surfaces times a K3 surface. Gluing pairs of identical rational elliptic…
