Inspired by the work of Lang-Trotter on the densities of primes with fixed Frobenius traces for elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and by the subsequent generalization of Cojocaru-Davis-Silverberg-Stange to generic abelian varieties,…

We prove that the roots of a definable $C^\infty$ curve of monic hyperbolic polynomials admit a definable $C^\infty$ parameterization, where `definable' refers to any fixed o-minimal structure on $(\mathbb R,+,\cdot)$. Moreover, we provide…

An elliptic curve E defined over \Q is an algebraic variety which forms a finitely generated abelian group, and the structure theorem then implies that E = \Z^r + \Z_{tors} for some r \geq 0; this value r is called the rank of E. It is a…

Let $M$ be the moduli space of rank $2$ stable bundles with fixed determinant of degree $1$ on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$. When $C$ is generic, we show that any elliptic curve on $M$ has degree (respect to…

We bound the number of fixed points of an automorphism of a real curve in terms of the genus and the number of connected components of the real part of the curve. Using this bound, we derive some consequences concerning the maximum order of…

Given a curve defined over an algebraically closed field which is complete with respect to a nontrivial valuation, we study its tropical Jacobian. This is done by first tropicalizing the curve, and then computing the Jacobian of the…

We determine the minimal bi-degree(s) of an irreducible filling curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ for $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$. It is $(q+1, q+1)$ if $q\neq 2$, and they are $(4,3)$ and $(3,4)$ if $q=2$.

In this article we extend work of Shanks and Washington on cyclic extensions, and elliptic curves associated to the simplest cubic fields. In particular, we give families of examples of hyperelliptic curves $C: y^2=f(x)$ defined over…

Let $J$ be the Jacobian of a superelliptic curve defined by the equation $y^{\ell} = f(x)$, where $f$ is a separable polynomial of degree non-divisible by $\ell$. In this article we study the "exponential" (i.e. $\ell$-power) torsion of…

We describe an algorithm for computing a $\Q$-rational model for the quotient of a modular curve by an automorphism group, under mild assumptions on the curve and the automorphisms, by determining $q$-expansions for a basis of the…

Let $C$ be a complex affine reduced curve, and denote by $H^1(C)$ its first truncated cohomology group, i.e. the quotient of all regular differential 1-forms by exact 1-forms. First we introduce a nonnegative invariant $\mu'(C,x)$ that…

We prove that if $C$ is a reflexive smooth plane curve of degree $d$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $d\leq q+1$, then there is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-line $L$ that intersects $C$ transversely. We also prove the same result for…

We consider the algebraic curve defined by $y^m = f(x)$ where $m \geq 2$ and $f(x)$ is a rational function over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We extend the concept of pure gap to {\bf c}-gap and obtain a criterion to decide when an $s$-tuple is a {\bf…

We call an order $O$ in a quadratic field $K$ odd (resp. even) if its discriminant is an odd (resp. even) integer. We call an elliptic curve $E$ over the field $C$ of complex numbers with CM odd (resp. even) if its endomorphism ring…

Let $C$ be an affine curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given an embedding problem $(\beta:\Gamma\longrightarrow G, \alpha: \pi^{et}_1(C)\longrightarrow G)$ for $\pi_1^{et}(C)$ where $\beta$ is a…

In this paper we give an upper bound on the number of rational points on an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ lying on a Frobenius classical surface $S$ embedded in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This…

Cyclic curves, i.e. curves fixed by a cyclic collineation group, play a central role in the investigation of cyclic arcs in Desarguesian projective planes. In this paper, the genus of a cyclic curve arising from a cyclic k-arc of Singer…

We consider the reduction of an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers modulo primes in a given arithmetic progression and investigate how often the subgroup of rational points of this reduced curve is cyclic as a special case of…

Let $X_{1}$ be a projective, smooth and geometrically connected curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q=p^{n}$ elements where $p$ is a prime number, and let $X$ be its base change to an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We give a formula…

Elliptic curves over finite fields with predefined conditions in the order are practically constructed using the theory of complex multiplication. The stage with longest calculations in this method reconstructs some polynomial with integer…
