We generalise the Siegel-Voloch theorem about S-integral points on elliptic curves as follows: let K/F denote a global function field over a finite field F of characteristic p>3, let S denote a finite set of places of K and let E/K denote a…

Let E be an elliptic curve with additive reduction over the p-adic numbers, and let G be the group of p-adic points on E that have good reduction. This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for G to contain non-trivial p-torsion.

We use rational parametrizations of certain cubic surfaces and an explicit formula for descent via 3-isogeny to construct the first examples of elliptic curves E_k: x^3 + y^3 = k of ranks 8, 9, 10, and 11 over Q. As a corollary we produce…

In this paper we present a description of the Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve defined over a $2$-adic field $K$, in the case where the image of inertia is non-abelian. There are two possibilities for the image of…

In this paper, for every prime $p$ and every $0\le n\le \infty$, we classify the structure of the torsion subgroup of the group of $\mathbb{Q}_p(\mu_{p^n})$-rational points of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with good reduction, where…

We give a complete classification of all the potentially crystalline 3-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_3$ that are isomorphic to the Tate module of an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}_3$. These…

For a quadratic field K, we investigate continuous mod p representations of the absolute Galois groups of K that are unramified away from p and infinity. We prove that for certain pairs (K,p), there are no such irreducible representations.…

In this note we extend the theory of twists of elliptic curves as presented in various standard texts for characteristic not equal to two or three to the remaining characteristics. For this, we make explicit use of the correspondence…

Let G be the separable Galois group of a finite field F of characteristic p, and X/F an imaginary hyperelliptic curve such that G acts transitively on its set W(X) of Weierstrass points. The existence of a G-invariant 2-torsion point on the…

In this note we present the main details of the construction of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(u)$ with torsion $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ and rank 6. Previously only rank 5 examples for such curves were known.

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve and p be a prime number, and let G be the Galois group of the extension of Q obtained by adjoining the coordinates of the p-torsion points on E. We determine all cases when the Galois cohomology group H^1(G,…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, whose Weierstrass points are defined over extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree at most three, and at least one of them is rational. Generalizing a result of R. Soleng (in the case…

As it is well known, one can define an abelian group on the points of an elliptic curve, using the so called chord-tangent law \cite{dale}, and a chosen point. However, that very chord-tangent law allows us to define a rather more obscure…

This paper is devoted to the explicit description of the Galois descent obstruction for hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus whose reduced automorphism group is cyclic of order coprime to the characteristic of their ground field. Along…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of entanglements of division fields from a group theoretic perspective. For a positive integer $n$ and a subgroup $G\subseteq \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/{n}\mathbb{Z})$ with surjective determinant,…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime and $d$ a positive integer. We determine when there exists a degree-$d$ number field $K$ and an elliptic curve $E/K$ with $j(E)\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{0,1728\}$ for which $E(K)_{\mathrm{tors}}$ contains a point of…

In this paper, we study the deformations of curves in the projective 3-space $\mathbb P^3$ (space curves), one of the most classically studied objects in algebraic geometry. We prove a conjecture due to J. O. Kleppe (in fact, a version…

In this paper, we study some group-theoretic constructions associated to arithmetic fundamental groups of hyperbolic curves over finite fields. One of the main results of this paper asserts that any Frobenius-preserving isomorphism between…

In this paper, we highlight that the point group structure of elliptic curves over finite or infinite fields, may be also observed on singular cubics with a quadratic component. Starting from this, we are able to introduce in a very general…

For an elliptic curve, we study how many Selmer groups are cotorsion over the anti-cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension as one varies the prime $p$ or the quadratic imaginary field in question.
