Let $E$ be an elliptic curve---defined over a number field $K$---without complex multiplication and with good ordinary reduction at all the primes above a rational prime $p \geq 5$. We construct a pairing on the dual $p^\infty$-Selmer group…
An idea to present a classical Lie group of positive dimension by generators and relations sounds dubious, but happens to be fruitful. The isometry groups of classical geometries admit elegant and useful presentations by generators and…
Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be elliptic curves over a number field $K$. In \cite{scc}, Mazur and Rubin define the concept of $n$-Selmer near-companions and conjecture that if $E_1$ and $E_2$ are $n$-Selmer near-companions over $K$, then $E_1[n]$ is…
Let h be a p-isogeny of elliptic curves. We describe how to perform h-descents on the nontrivial elements in the Shafarevich-Tate group which are killed by the dual isogeny h'. This makes computation of p-Selmer groups of elliptic curves…
Let $p, q$ be twin prime numbers with $q-p=2$ . Consider the elliptic curves E=E_\sigma: y^2 = x (x+\sigma p)(x+\sigma q) . (\sigma =\pm 1). E=E_\sigma is also denoted as E_+ or E_- when \sigma = +1or $-1.Here the Mordell-Weil group and the…
Let $ p $ and $ q $ be odd prime numbers with $ q - p = 2, $ the $\varphi -$Selmer groups, Shafarevich-Tate groups ($ \varphi - $ and $ 2-$part) and their dual ones as well the Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves $ y^{2} = x (x \pm p) (x…
Elliptic curves are planar curves which can be used to define an abelian group. The efficient computation of discrete logarithms over this group is a longstanding problem relevant to cryptography. It may be possible to efficiently compute…
We investigate fine Selmer groups for elliptic curves and for Galois representations over a number field. More specifically, we discuss Conjecture A, which states that the fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve over the cyclotomic extension…
We prove formulas for power moments for point counts of elliptic curves over a finite field $k$ such that the groups of $k$-points of the curves contain a chosen subgroup. These formulas express the moments in terms of traces of Hecke…
We construct certain elements in the integral motivic cohomology group $H^3_{{\cal M}}(E \times E',\Q(2))_{\ZZ}$, where $E$ and $E'$ are elliptic curves over $\Q$. When $E$ is not isogenous to $E'$ these elements are analogous to…
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…
We prove the first cases of a conjecture by Darmon--Rotger on the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes attached to elliptic curves $E$ over $\mathbf{Q}$ of rank $2$. Our method also shows that the non-vanishing of generalized Kato…
Cassels has described a pairing on the 2-Selmer group of an elliptic curve which shares some properties with the Cassels-Tate pairing. In this article, we prove that the two pairings are the same.
We split the program of explicit descent of elliptic curves into two parts. For $n=3$ and $n=5,$ we first display a model for the universal elliptic curve $E$ with full level $n$ structure and describe the map of rational points of $E$ to…
We revisit the group structure on elliptic curves and give a simple and elementary proof of the associativity of the addition. We do this by providing an explicit formula for the sum of three points, only using the explicit definition of…
A Coxeter group of classical type $A_n$, $B_n$ or $D_n$ contains a chain of subgroups of the same type. We show that intersections of conjugates of these subgroups are again of the same type, and make precise in which sense and to what…
For certain families of elliptic curves admitting a rational isogeny of prime degree $\ell$, we establish a central limit theorem for the Tamagawa ratio and derive bounds on its average value. By using the Tamagawa ratio to bound the size…
We describe moduli spaces of logarithmic rank $2$ connections on elliptic curves with $n \geq 1$ poles and generic residues. In particular, we generalize a previous work by the first and second named authors. Our main approach is to analyze…
Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with large Mordell-Weil rank, we explain how one can build, for suitable small primes $p$, infinitely many fields of degree $p^2-1$ whose ideal class group has a large $p$-torsion…
We added an additional result (theorem 1.6) that strengthenns our main theorem in the G=GL-case by establishing an equivalence of tensor categories.
