Let $F$ be a number field and $p\geq7$ a rational prime. We obtain a simple descent criterion characterising those projective Galois representations $\overline\rho:G_F\to\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for which the corresponding twist…
We find all elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ that have a rational point of order $N$, $N\ge 4$, and whose conductor is of the form $p^aq^b$, where p, q are two distinct primes, a, b are two positive integers. In particular, we…
Using a combination of several powerful modularity theorems and class field theory we derive a new modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves over certain real abelian fields. We deduce that if $K$ is a real abelian field of…
We extend the map Exp for elliptic curves in short Weierstrass form over $ \mathbb{C} $ to Edwards curves over local fields. Subsequently, we compute the map Exp for Edwards curves over the local field $ \mathbb{Q}_{p} $ of $ p $-adic…
We present an efficient algorithm for computing certain special values of Rankin triple product $p$-adic L-functions and give an application of this to the explicit construction of rational points on elliptic curves.
We explain how to determine the semistable reduction of a particular plane quartic curve at $p=3$ that appears in the attempts of Rouse, Sutherland, and Zureick-Brown to compute the rational points on the non-split Cartan modular curve…
Fix m >= 1 and let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. We formulate conjectures on the density of primes p (congruent to one modulo m) for which the pth Fourier coefficient of E is an mth power modulo p; often these…
Let $K$ be a totally real field, and let $S$ be a finite set of non-archimedean places of $K$. It follows from the work of Merel, Momose and David that there is a constant $B_{K,S}$ so that if $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$,…
We prove results that imply, under various hypotheses, that every elliptic curve over a number field $k$ corresponding to a point on a modular curve has bad reduction at a certain prime $p$ of $\mathcal{O}_k$. For example, every elliptic…
We study connections between self-inversive and self-reciprocal polynomials, reduction theory of binary forms, minimal models of curves, and formally self-dual codes. We prove that if $\mathcal X$ is a superelliptic curve defined over…
We present a specialized point-counting algorithm for a class of elliptic curves over F\_{p^2} that includes reductions of quadratic Q-curves modulo inert primes and, more generally, any elliptic curve over F\_{p^2} with a low-degree…
We study the prime number race for elliptic curves over the function field of a proper, smooth and geometrically connected curve over a finite field. This constitutes a function field analogue of prior work by Mazur, Sarnak and the second…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N=p^2M$ where $p$ is an odd prime not dividing $M$. Let $\mathcal{O}_f$ be the order of conductor $f$ (relatively prime to $N$) in an imaginary quadratic field $K$ in which $p$ is inert…
We explain how to compute the semistable reduction of plane quartic curves over local fields of residue characteristic $p=3$. Our approach is based on finding suitable degree-$3$ coverings of the projective line by such plane quartics and…
Let E and E' be two elliptic curves over a number field. We prove that the reductions of E and E' at a finite place p are geometrically isogenous for infinitely many p, and draw consequences for the existence of supersingular primes. This…
We introduce a new approach of computing the automorphism group and the field of moduli of points $\p=[C]$ in the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves $\H_g$. Further, we show that for every moduli point $\p \in \H_g(L)$ such that the…
We study a class of semistable ordinary hyperelliptic curves over 2-adic fields and the special fibre of their minimal regular model. We show that these curves can be controlled using `cluster pictures', similarly to the case of odd residue…
In this paper, we present a probabilistic algorithm to compute the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of modular curve $X_1(n)$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis(GRH), the algorithm takes…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be a rational elliptic curve. There is a smooth affine curve $Y_E(p)$ whose rational points parametrize elliptic curves $F/\mathbb{Q}$ such that $F[p]$ and $E[p]$ are isomorphic Galois modules.…
In this note we prove that for every integer $d \geq 1$, there exists an explicit constant $B_d$ such that the following holds. Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$, let $q > \max\{d-1,5\}$ be any rational prime that is totally inert in…
