In this paper, we introduce the study of minimal torsion curves within a fixed geometric isogeny class. For a $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-isogeny class $\mathcal{E}$ of elliptic curves and $N \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we wish to determine the least…
The "defect" of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre bound for the curve. We present a construction for producing genus-4 double covers of genus-2 curves over…
We present a fast algorithm that takes as input an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$ and an integer $d$ and returns all the number fields $K$ of degree $d'$ dividing $d$ such that $E(K)_{tors}$ contains $E(F)_{tors}$ as a proper…
We prove that all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with a subgroup isomorphic to $C_{16}$, as well as all elliptic curves over cubic fields with a subgroup isomorphic to $C_2\times C_{14}$, are base changes of elliptic curves defined…
We describe a simple, but effective, method for deriving families of elliptic curves, with high rank, all of whose members have the same torsion subgroup structure.
For every group $\{\pm1\}\subseteq \Delta\subseteq (\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z)^\times$, there exists an intermediate modular curve $X_\Delta(N)$. In this paper we determine all curves $X_\Delta(N)$ with infinitely many points of degree $4$ over…
Harron and Snowden counted the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ up to height $X$ with torsion group $G$ for each possible torsion group $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper we generalize their result to all number fields and all…
We propose an algorithm that calculates isogenies between elliptic curves defined over an extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}_2$. It consists in efficiently solving with a logarithmic loss of $2$-adic precision the first order differential…
We give the complete list of possible torsion subgroups of elliptic curves with complex multiplication over number fields of degree 1-13. Additionally we describe the algorithm used to compute these torsion subgroups and its implementation.
In this short note, we give a method for computing a non-torsion point of smallest canonical height on a given elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ over all number fields of a fixed degree. We then describe data collected using this method, and…
We consider an elliptic curve over a dyadic field with additive, potentially good reduction. We study the finite Galois extension of the dyadic field generated by the three-torsion points of the elliptic curve. As an application, we give a…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we study the finite extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on $E$ attains the Hasse upper bound. We obtain an…
Let $E:y^2=x^3+Ax^2+Bx+C$ be a nonconstant elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with at least one nontrivial $\mathbb{Q}(t)$-rational $2$-torsion point. We describe a method for finding $t_0\in\mathbb Q$ for which the corresponding…
We give an algorithm to determine factorization types of primes in the number fields generated by a single point of odd order on an elliptic curve. We apply this to compute coefficients of the Dedekind zeta function of the field.
There is a modular curve X'(6) of level 6 defined over Q whose Q-rational points correspond to j-invariants of elliptic curves E over Q for which Q(E[2]) is a subfield of Q(E[3]). In this note we characterize the j-invariants of elliptic…
We compute equations for the families of elliptic curves 9-congruent to a given elliptic curve. We use these to find infinitely many non-trivial pairs of 9-congruent elliptic curves over Q, i.e. pairs of non-isogenous elliptic curves over Q…
Let q be a prime power and E a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over Fq(T) given by a Weierstrass model. We survey the construction, with an explicit point of view, of the modular parametrization of E by the associated Drinfeld modular curve.…
In this paper, we study the finiteness problem of torsion points on an elliptic curve whose coordinates satisfy some multiplicative dependence relations. In particular, we prove that on an elliptic curve defined over a number field there…
We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…
The problem of constructing curves with many points over finite fields has received considerable attention in the recent years. Using the class field theory approach, we construct new examples of curves ameliorating some of the known…
