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…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a field $K$ (with $char(K)\neq 2$) given by a Weierstrass equation and let $P=(x,y)\in E(K)$ be a point. Then for each $n$ $\geq 1$ and some $\gamma \in K^{\ast }$ we can write the $x$- and…

For a prime number $p$ we study the zeros modulo $p$ of divisor polynomials of rational elliptic curves $E$ of conductor $p$. Ono made the observation that these zeros of are often $j$-invariants of supersingular elliptic curves over…

We prove that all elliptic curves defined over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a real quadratic field are modular under the assumption that the algebraic part of the central value of a twisted $L$-function is a $p$-adic unit. Our…

Elliptic curves arise in many important areas of modern number theory. One way to study them is take local data, the number of solutions modulo $p$, and create an $L$-function. The behavior of this global object is related to two of the…

We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…

This article deals with the Galois representation attached to elliptic curves with an isogeny of prime degree over a number field. We first determine uniform criteria for the irreducibility of Galois representations attached to elliptic…

Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$. For $p \in \mathcal{P}$ the set of prime numbers, let $N_{X}(p)$ be the number of $\mathbf{F}_{p}$-points of $X/\mathbf{F}_{p}$. For fixed $n\geq 1$ and $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n} \in…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, let $\alpha \in E(K)$ be a point of infinite order, and let $N^{-1}\alpha$ be the set of $N$-division points of $\alpha$ in $E(\bar{K})$. We prove strong effective and uniform…

For small odd primes $p$, we prove that most of the rational points on the modular curve $X_0(p)/w_p$ parametrize pairs of elliptic curves having infinitely many supersingular primes. This result extends the class of elliptic curves for…

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.

An elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is said to be good if $N_{E}^{6}<\max\!\left\{ \left\vert c_{4}^{3}\right\vert ,c_{6}^{2}\right\} $ where $N_{E}$ is the conductor of $E$ and $c_{4}$ and $c_{6}$ are the invariants associated to a…

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve, let L(E,s)=\sum a_n/n^s be the L-series of E/Q, and let P be a point in E(Q). An integer n > 2 having at least two distinct prime factors will be be called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P) if E has good…

This paper investigates the detection of the rank of elliptic curves with ranks 0 and 1, employing a heuristic known as the Mestre-Nagao sum \[ S(B) = \frac{1}{\log{B}} \sum_{\substack{p<B \\ \textrm{good reduction}}}…

Let q be a prime power and E a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over Fq(T) given by a Weierstrass model. We survey the construction, with an explicit point of view, of the modular parametrization of E by the associated Drinfeld modular curve.…

It is known that for a smooth hyperelliptic curve to have a large $a$-number, the genus must be small relative to the characteristic of the field, $p>0$, over which the curve is defined. It was proven by Elkin that for a genus $g$…

Let K be a number field, and let E be an elliptic curve over K. A famous result by Faltings of 1983 can be reformulated for elliptic curves as follows: if S is a set of primes of good reduction for E having density one, then the K-isogeny…

We prove that there exists an absolute constant $c>0$ such that if an arithmetic progression $\cP$ modulo a prime number $p$ does not contain zero and has the cardinality less than $cp$, then it can not be represented as a product of two…
