To any cubic surface, one can associate a cubic threefold given by a triple cover of $\mathbb P^3$ branched in this cubic surface. D. Allcock, J. Carlson, and D. Toledo used this construction to define the period map for cubic surfaces. It…

We present an algorithm for the computation of period matrices and the Abel-Jacobi map of complex superelliptic curves given by an equation $y^m=f(x)$. It relies on rigorous numerical integration of differentials between Weierstrass points,…
In this paper, we calculate period matrices of algebraic curves defined by $$w^2=z(z^2-1)(z^2-a_1^2)(z^2-a_2^2)\cdots (z^2-a_{g-1}^2)$$ for any $g\geq 2$ and $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_{g-1}\in \mathbb{R}$ with $1<a_1<a_2<\cdots <a_{g-1}$. We…
We prove useful necessary and sufficient conditions for an elliptic curve over a number field to admit a surjective adelic Galois representation. Using these conditions, we compute an example of a number field K and an elliptic curve E/K…
In this paper we prove a relation between the period of an elliptic curve and the period of its real and imaginary quadratic twists. This relation is often misstated in the literature.
The Langlands Programme predicts that a weight 2 newform f over a number field K with integer Hecke eigenvalues generally should have an associated elliptic curve E_f over K. In our previous paper, we associated, building on works of Darmon…
We will describe an algorithm to construct an elliptic curve $E_{f_q}$ over some prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$ such that such that $|E_{f_q}(\mathbb{F}_p)| = f_q$, where $f_q$ is a probable Fibonacci prime for some prime index $q$. The…
Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and C an elliptic curve over K given by a Weierstrass equation. To divide an element of the group C by 2, one must solve a certain quartic equation. We characterise the quartics arising…
We give practical numerical methods to compute the period matrix of a plane algebraic curve (not necessarily smooth). We show how automorphisms and isomorphisms of such curves, as well as the decomposition of their Jacobians up to isogeny,…
Information Theoretic analysis of the periods of a hyperelliptic curve provides more information about the well--known but abstract relationship between the branch points and the periods. Here one constructs a canonical homology basis for a…
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, and let $\mathcal{O}_{K,f}$ be an order in $K$ of conductor $f\geq 1$. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with CM by $\mathcal{O}_{K,f}$, such that $E$ is defined by a model over $\mathbb{Q}(j_{K,f})$,…
