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…
For integers $N\geq 3$ and $g\geq 1$, we study bounds on the cardinality of the set of points of order dividing $N$ lying on a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ embedded in its jacobian using a Weierstrass point as base point. This leads us…
Non-point invertible transformations are completely described for difference equations on the quad-graph and for their differential-difference analogues. As an illustration, these transformations are used to construct new examples of…
The arithmetic of elliptic curves, namely polynomial addition and scalar multiplication, can be described in terms of global sections of line bundles on $E\times E$ and $E$, respectively, with respect to a given projective embedding of $E$…
In this article, we present a method for computing rational points on hyperelliptic curves of genus~3 and isolated quadratic points on hyperelliptic curves of genus~2 and~3 whose Jacobians have rank~0. Our approach begins by computing the…
We bound the j -invariant of integral points on a modular curve in terms of the congruence group defining the curve. We apply this to prove that the modular curve Xsplit (p3) has no non-trivial rational point if p is a sufficiently large…
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a projective irreducible nonsingular algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. This paper presents a variation of the St\"orh-Voloch theory and sets new bounds to the number of…
Enge and Schertz gave the method of using the double eta-quotient for the construction of elliptic curves over finite fields. In their method, it is necessary to count the number of rational points of elliptic curves corresponding to…
In this paper we prove that the two dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion on a manifold can be classified by using the Poisson algebra of the integrals of motion. There are six general fundamental classes of…
In this paper the notion of a quadratic (left) Bol algebra is discussed. Several examples of quadratic Bol algebras are given and it is observed that the only two-dimensional quadratic real Bol algebras are quadratic Lie triple systems.…
We prove that the problems of deciding whether a quadratic equation over a free group has a solution is NP-complete.
We prove a variant of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem for cubics (algebraic curves of degree three): If a finite set of sufficiently many points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is not contained in a cubic, then there is a cubic that contains exactly nine of…
Symplectic invariants introduced in math-ph/0702045 can be computed for an arbitrary spectral curve. For some examples of spectral curves, those invariants can solve loop equations of matrix integrals, and many problems of enumerative…
We consider the expansion of the real field by the group of rational points of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. We prove a completeness result, followed by a quantifier elimination result. Moreover we show that open sets…
In this article, we determine all intermediate modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.
Contour integrals of rational functions over ${\cal M}_{0,n}$, the moduli space of $n$-punctured spheres, have recently appeared at the core of the tree-level S-matrix of massless particles in arbitrary dimensions. The contour is determined…
This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journees Arithmetiques in St. Etienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective)…
We explain how one can efficiently determine the (finite) set of rational points on a curve of genus 2 over $\mathbb Q$ with Jacobian variety $J$, given a point $P \in J(\mathbb Q)$ generating a subgroup of finite index in $J(\mathbb Q)$.
We propose a detailed study of a canonical bound which relates the numbers of rational points of a curve over a finite field with that over its quadratic extension. Alternative proofs which make a connection with the variance enable to…
In this paper we extend the Lie theory of integration in two different ways. First we consider a finite dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields and discuss the most general conditions under which the integral curves of one of the fields…
