Consider the family of elliptic curves $E_n:y^2=x^3+n^2$, where $n$ varies over positive cubefree integers. There is a rational $3$-isogeny $\phi$ from $E_n$ to $\hat{E}_n:y^2=x^3-27n^2$ and a dual isogeny $\hat{\phi}:\hat{E}_n\rightarrow…

In this note, we connect the $n$-torsions of the Picard group of an elliptic surface to the $n$-divisibility of the class group of torsion fields for a given integer $n>1$. We also connect the $n$-divisibility of the Selmer group to that of…

Even if there are too many elliptic fibrations to investigate and describe on the singular $K3$ surface $Y_{10}$ of discriminant 72 and belonging to the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil $(Y_k)$, we find on it many interesting properties. For example…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, $E/K$ be an elliptic curve, and $\phi:A\to E^m$ be an isogeny defined over $K$. Let $P\in A(K)$ be such that $\phi(P)=(Q_1,\dots, Q_m)$ with $\text{Rank}_\mathbb{Z}(\langle…

We survey some aspects of the theory of elliptic surfaces and give some results aimed at determining the Picard number of such a surface. For the surfaces considered, this will be equivalent to determining the Mordell-Weil rank of an…

Fix $p$ an odd prime. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with semistable reduction at $p$. We show that the adjoint $p$-adic $L$-function of $E$ evaluated at infinitely many integers prime to $p$ completely determines up to a…

A curious identity of Bunyakovsky (1882), made more widely known by P\'olya and Szeg{\H o} in their ``Problems and Theorems in Analysis", gives an evaluation of a sum of the floor function of square roots involving primes $p\equiv…

We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic…

We determine the precise number of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\text{char}(\mathbb{F}_q) = 3,2$. The key idea is to obtain the exact unweighted number of rational points on the classifying stacks…

We construct a three-parameter family of non-hyperelliptic and bielliptic plane genus-three curves whose associated Prym variety is two-isogenous to the Jacobian variety of a general hyperelliptic genus-two curve. Our construction is based…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we study the finite extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on $E$ attains the Hasse upper bound. We obtain an…

Let $q > 5$ be a prime and $K$ a quadratic number field. In this article we extend a previous result of Najman and the author and prove that if $E/K$ is an elliptic curve with potentially multiplicative reduction at all primes $\mathfrak q…

A new class of examples of surfaces with maximal Picard number is constructed. These carry pencils of genus two or three curves such their Jacobian fibrations are isogenous to fibre products of elliptic modular surfaces.

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…

We give another solution to the class number one problem by showing that imaginary quadratic fields $\Q(\sqrt{-d})$ with class number $h(-d)=1$ correspond to integral points on a genus two curve $\mscrK_3$. In fact one can find all rational…

Given a generic $K3$ surface $Y_k$ of the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil, we use the Kneser-Nishiyama technique to determine all its non isomorphic elliptic fibrations. These computations lead to determine those fibrations with 2-torsion sections T.…

In this paper, we construct certain infinite families of imaginary quadratic fields whose class number is divisible by a given positive integer.

Let $n$ be an integer such that the modular curve $X_0(n)$ is hyperelliptic of genus $\ge2$ and such that the Jacobian of $X_0(n)$ has rank $0$ over $\mathbb Q$. We determine all points of $X_0(n)$ defined over quadratic fields, and we give…

The aim of this paper is to study certain family of elliptic curves $\{\mathscr{X}_H\}_H$ defined over a number field $F$ arising from hyperplane sections of some cubic surface $\mathscr{X}/F$ associated to a cyclic cubic extension $K/F$.…
