In this article, we aim to largely complete the program of proving the Tate conjecture for surfaces of geometric genus one, by introducing techniques to analyze those surfaces whose "natural models" are singular. As an application, we show…
We establish a congruence formula between $p$-adic logarithms of Heegner points for two elliptic curves with the same mod $p$ Galois representation. As a first application, we use the congruence formula when $p=2$ to explicitly construct…
Let $ E $ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field, the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD, for short) asserts a deep relation between the group $ E(K) $ of rational points and the $ L-$function $ L(E/K, s)$ of $ E $ at $…
Let $E$ be an optimal elliptic curve over $\Q$ of conductor $N$ having analytic rank one, i.e., such that the $L$-function $L_E(s)$ of $E$ vanishes to order one at $s=1$. Let $K$ be a quadratic imaginary field in which all the primes…
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 provide a new interpretation of the Mazur-Tate Conjecture and then use it to obtain the first (unconditional) theoretical evidence in support of the conjecture for elliptic curves of strictly positive rank.
Let $E/F$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$ with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ such that the torsion points of $E$ generate over $F$ an abelian extension of $K$. In…
We show that the unboundedness of the ranks of the quadratic twists of an elliptic curve is equivalent to the divergence of certain infinite series.
These are the notes from a course of five lectures at the 2009 Park City Math Institute. The focus is on elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. In the first three lectures, we explain the main classical results (mainly due…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with conductor $N=N_+N_-$, where $N_+$ and $N_-$ are coprime and $N_-$ is squarefree. Let $D$ be a positive fundamental discriminant satisfying the modified Heegner hypothesis with respect to…
We investigate the properties of a family of approximations of the Hasse-Weil $L$-function associated to an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We give a precise expression for the error of the approximations, and provide a visual…
In this paper, we are going to prove the relation between rank of elliptic curves and the non-triviality of class groups of infinitely many real quadratic fields.
For any family of elliptic curves over the rational numbers with fixed $j$-invariant, we prove that the existence of a long sequence of rational points whose $x$-coordinates form a non-trivial arithmetic progression implies that the…
Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field K which admits a cyclic p-isogeny with p odd and semistable at primes above p. We determine the root number and the parity of the p-Selmer rank for E/K, in particular confirming the parity…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let…
We combine the exact counting of all elliptic curves over $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\mathrm{char}(K) > 3$ by Bejleri, Satriano and the author, together with the torsion-free nature of most elliptic curves over global function fields…
We prove the non-existence of elliptic curves having good reduction everywhere over some real quadratic fields.
Let k be a field of characteristic zero, V a smooth, positive-dimensional, quasiprojective variety over k, and D a nonempty effective divisor on V. Let K be the function field of V, and A the semilocal ring of D in K. In this paper, we…
In this note, we consider an l-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves over Q. We assume that l > 3 is a prime. The main result expresses the relevant Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finite- dimensional…
Recent work of Burungale-Skinner-Tian-Wan established the first infinite families of quadratic twists of non-CM elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ for which the strong Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture holds. Building on their results,…
