We classify completely the intersections of the Hermitian curve with parabolas in the affine plane. To obtain our results we employ well-known algebraic methods for finite fields and geometric properties of the curve automorphisms. In…

We establish a congruence formula between $p$-adic logarithms of Heegner points for two elliptic curves with the same mod $p$ Galois representation. As a first application, we use the congruence formula when $p=2$ to explicitly construct…

An algorithm is given to compute a normal form for hyperelliptic curves. The elliptic case has been treated in a previous paper. In this paper the hyperelliptic case is treated.

For a given elliptic curve $E_0$ defined over a number field $k$, we construct two families of elliptic curves whose mod 3 representations are isomorphic to that of $E_0$. The isomorphisms in the first family are symplectic, and those in…

We exhibit a family of dynamical systems arising from rational points on elliptic curves in an attempt to mimic the familiar toral automorphisms. At the non-archimedean primes, a continuous map is constructed on the local elliptic curve…

We construct an arithmetic period map for cubic fourfolds, in direct analogy with Rizov's work on K3 surfaces. For each $N\geq 1$, we introduce a Deligne-Mumford stack $\widetilde{\mathcal{C}^{[N]}}$ of cubic fourfolds with level structure…

We propose a randomized algorithm to compute isomorphisms between finite fields using elliptic curves. To compute an isomorphism between two fields of cardinality $q^n$, our algorithm takes $$n^{1+o(1)} \log^{1+o(1)}q + \max_{\ell}…

This article gives an elementary computational proof of the group law for Edwards elliptic curves following Bernstein, Lange, et al., Edwards, and Friedl. The associative law is expressed as a polynomial identity over the integers that is…

Consider a pair of ordinary elliptic curves $E$ and $E'$ defined over the same finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, i.e. $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)|=|E'(\mathbb{F}_q)|$. In this paper we…

We consider a special class of periodic continued fractions (called alpha-fractions) and discuss the related algebraic and geometric problems. A classical description of the Jacobi variety of a hyperelliptic curve due to Jacobi naturally…

There is a natural question to ask whether the rich mathematical theory of the hyperelliptic curves can be extended to all superelliptic curves. Moreover, one wonders if all of the applications of hyperelliptic curves such as cryptography,…

Given a smooth projective curve C defined over a number field and given two elliptic surfaces E_1/C and E_2/C along with sections P_i and Q_i of E_i (for i = 1,2), we prove that if there exist infinitely many algebraic points t on C such…

Bachet elliptic curves are the curves y^2=x^3+a^3 and in this work the group structure E(F_{p}) of these curves over finite fields F_{p} is considered. It is shown that there are two possible structures E(F_{p}){\cong}C_{p+1} or…

For an elliptic curve E over a number field K, we prove that the algebraic rank of E goes up in infinitely many extensions of K obtained by adjoining a cube root of an element of K. As an example, we briefly discuss E=X_1(11) over Q, and…

We solve the problem of counting elliptic curves with fixed j-invariant in projective space with tangency conditions. This is equivalent to couting rational nodal curves with condition on the node of the image. The solution is given in the…

Let $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=p$ be a prime number and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with $j(E) \in \mathbb{Q}$. We determine the all possibilities for $E(K)_{tors}$. We obtain these results by studying Galois representations of $E$ and of it's…
