For $E/K$ an elliptic curve without complex multiplication we bound the index of the image of $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{K}/K)$ in $\operatorname{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$, the representation being given by the action on the Tate modules of…

An elliptic divisibility sequence, generated by a point in the image of a rational isogeny, is shown to possess a uniformly bounded number of prime terms. This result applies over the rational numbers, assuming Lang's conjecture, and over…

Let $E$ and $E'$ be 2-isogenous elliptic curves over $\Q$. Following \cite{ck}, we call a good prime $p$ \emph{anomalous} if $E(\F_p) \simeq E'(\F_p)$ but $E(\F_{p^2}) \not \simeq E'(\F_{p^2})$. Our main result is an explicit formula for…

Let $E$ be an optimal elliptic curve over $\Q$ of prime conductor $N$. We show that if for an odd prime $p$, the mod $p$ representation associated to $E$ is reducible (in particular, if $p$ divides the order of the torsion subgroup of…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant $\Delta_E$. For primes $p$ of good reduction, let $N_p$ be the number of points modulo $p$ and write $N_p=p+1-a_p$. In 1965, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formulated a conjecture…

Given a minimal model of an elliptic curve, $E/K$, over a finite extension, $K$, of ${\mathbb Q}_{p}$ for any rational prime, $p$, and any point $P \in E(K)$ of infinite order, we determine precisely $\min \left( v \left( \phi_{n}(P)…

Let $p$ be a prime and $L$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We study the ordinary parts of $\mathrm{GL}_2(L)$-representations arised in the mod $p$ cohomology of Shimura curves attached to indefinite division algebras which splits…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. For a quadratic number field $K$ and an odd prime number $p$, let $L$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$. We prove that $E(L)_{\text{tors}}=E(K)_{\text{tors}}$ when $p>5$. It enables…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ which has multiplicative reduction at a fixed prime $p$. For each positive integer $n$ we put $K_n:=\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n])$. The aim of this paper is to extend the author's previous our results…

The goal of this article is to give an explicit classification of the possible $p$-adic Galois representations that are attached to elliptic curves $E$ with CM defined over $\mathbb{Q}(j(E))$. More precisely, let $K$ be an imaginary…

In this paper we study the problem of how to determine all elliptic curves defined over an arbitrary number field $K$ with good reduction outside a given finite set of primes $S$ of $K$ by solving $S$-unit equations. We give examples of…

We describe the image of general families of two-dimensional representations over compact semi-local rings. Applying this description to the family carried by the universal Hecke algebra acting on the space of modular forms of level $N$…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we classify all groups that can arise as $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p))_{\text{tors}}$ up to isomorphism for any prime $p$. When $p - 1$ is not divisible by small integers…

Let E/K be an ellptic curve defined over a number field, let h be the canonical height on E, and let K^ab be the maximal abelian extension of K. Extending work of M. Baker, we prove that there is a positive constant C(E/K) so that every…

Let $E$ be a modular elliptic curve over a totally real number field $F$. We prove the weak exceptional zero conjecture which links a (higher) derivative of the $p$-adic $L$-function attached to $E$ to certain $p$-adic periods attached to…

For a superelliptic curve $\mathcal X$, defined over $\mathbb Q$, let $\mathfrak p$ denote the corresponding moduli point in the weighted moduli space. We describe a method how to determine a minimal integral model of $\mathcal X$ such…

Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime. We show that the space of weight one Eisenstein series defines an embedding into $\PP^{(p-3)/2}$ of the modular curve $X_1(p)$ for the congruence group $\Gamma_1(p)$ that is scheme-theoretically cut out by explicit…

In this article, we study the minimal degree [K(T):K] of a p-subgroup T <= E(\overline{K})_tors for an elliptic curve E/K defined over a number field K. Our results depend on the shape of the image of the p-adic Galois representation…

In this paper, we prove that for each number field $F$ there exists a uniform bound on the prime levels $p$ of elliptic curves $E/F$ for which $F(E[p])=F(\zeta_p)$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we also give uniform bounds on…

We show that the minimum $h_{\text{min}}$ of the stable Faltings height on elliptic curves found by Deligne is followed by a gap. This means that there is a constant $C >0$ such that for every elliptic curve $E/K$ with everywhere semistable…
