Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$, $c_v$ the Tamagawa number of $E$ at $v$, and let $c_E=\prod_{v}c_v$. Lorenzini proved that $v_{13}(c_E)$ is postive for all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with a point of order…

Generalised Heegner cycles are associated to a pair of an elliptic newform and a Hecke character over an imaginary quadratic extension $K/\Q$. The cycles live in a middle dimensional Chow group of a Kuga-Sato variety arising from an…

In this paper, we classify the possible torsion subgroup structures of elliptic curves defined over the compositum of all quadratic extensions of the rational number field, whose $j$-invariant is a rational number not equal to 0 or 1728.

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 A be an abelian variety defined over a number field F. For a prime number $\ell$, we consider the field extension of F generated by the $\ell$-powered torsion points of A. According to a conjecture made by Rasmussen and Tamagawa, if we…

For a quadratic field $\mathcal{K}$ without rationally defined CM, we prove that there exists of a prime $p_{\mathcal{K}}$ depending only on $\mathcal{K}$ such that if $d$ is a positive integer whose minimal prime divisor is greater than…

Let $E$ be a modular elliptic curve over a totally real number field $F$. We prove the weak exceptional zero conjecture which links a (higher) derivative of the $p$-adic $L$-function attached to $E$ to certain $p$-adic periods attached to…

We conjecture that the p-adic L-function of a non-trivial irreducible even Artin character over a totally real field is non-zero at all non-zero integers. This implies that a conjecture formulated by Coates and Lichtenbaum at negative…

These expository notes introduce $p$-adic $L$-functions and the foundations of Iwasawa theory. We focus on Kubota--Leopoldt's $p$-adic analogue of the Riemann zeta function, which we describe in three different ways. We first present a…

We call a pair of distinct prime powers $(q_1,q_2) = (p_1^{a_1},p_2^{a_2})$ a Hasse pair if $|\sqrt{q_1}-\sqrt{q_2}| \leq 1$. For such pairs, we study the relation between the set $\mathcal{E}_1$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves…

Given a Diophantine triple $\{c_1(t),c_2(t),c_3(t)\}$, the elliptic curve over Q(t) induced by this triple, i.e. $y^2=(c_1(t) x+1) (c_2(t) x+1) (c_3(t) x+1)$, can have as torsion group one of the non-cyclic groups in Mazur's theorem, i.e.…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. Under a certain Heegner hypothesis, Kolyvagin constructed cohomology classes for $E$ using $K$-CM points and conjectured they did not all vanish.…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over the rationals. The purpose of this article is to define a positive integer $A(E)$, that we call the {\it Serre's constant associated to $E$}, that gives necessary…

Let $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=p$ be a prime number and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with $j(E) \in \mathbb{Q}$. We determine the all possibilities for $E(K)_{tors}$. We obtain these results by studying Galois representations of $E$ and of it's…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with the property that $m\mid#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for a density $1$ set of primes $p$. Building upon work of Katz and Harron-Snowden, we study the probability…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, let $\alpha \in E(K)$ be a point of infinite order, and let $N^{-1}\alpha$ be the set of $N$-division points of $\alpha$ in $E(\bar{K})$. We prove strong effective and uniform…

We study Rubin's variant of the $p$-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for CM elliptic curves concerning certain special values of the Katz two-variable $p$-adic $L$-function that lie outside the range of $p$-adic interpolation.

Consider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic field $K$ with good reduction at the primes above $p\geq 5$ and has complex multiplication by the full ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of $K$. In this paper, we construct…

This paper presents empirical evidence supporting Goldfeld's conjecture on the average analytic rank of a family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve in the function field setting. In particular, we consider representatives of the…
