Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and $E/K$ an elliptic curve over $K$. For a finite extension $L/K$ and a prime~$\ell$, we provide Galois-theoretic sufficient conditions on $L/K$ under which…

We consider partial torsion fields (fields generated by a root of a division polynomial) for elliptic curves. By analysing the reduction properties of elliptic curves, and applying the Montes Algorithm, we obtain information about the ring…

This master thesis describes how Selmer groups can be used to determine the Mordell-Weil group of elliptic curves over a number field K. The Mordell-Weil Theorem states that $E(K) = E(K)_{tors} \times Z^r$, where $r$ is the rank of $E$, and…

We determine all groups which occur as torsion subgroups of $\mathbb Q$-curves defined over number fields of degrees $3$, $5$ and $7$. In particular, we prove that every torsion subgroup of a $\mathbb Q$-curve defined over a number field of…

For an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ we show that there are infinitely many cyclic sextic extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ such that the Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ has rank greater than the subgroup of $E(K)$ generated by all the $E(F)$ for the…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with prime conductor p. For each non-negative integer n we put K_n:=Q(E[p^n]). The aim of this paper is to estimate the order of the p-Sylow group of the ideal class group of K_n. We give a lower bounds in…

Let $K$ be a number field, $S$ a finite set of places. For $\mathbb{G}_m$ or an elliptic curve $E$ defined over $K$, we establish uniformity results on the number of $S$-integral torsion points relative to a non-torsion point $\beta$, as…

For a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over a number field $K$, the Galois action on its torsion points gives rise to a Galois representation $\rho_E: Gal(\overline{K}/K)\to GL_2(\widehat{\mathbb{Z}})$ that is unique up to isomorphism. A…

Let C be an irreducible projective curve of degree d in Pn(K), where K is an algebraically closed field, and let I be the associated homogeneous prime ideal. We wish to compute generators for I, assuming we are given sufficiently many…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny class of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. The isogeny graph associated to $\mathcal{E}$ is a graph which has a vertex for each element of $\mathcal{E}$ and an edge for each…

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with large Mordell-Weil rank, we explain how one can build, for suitable small primes $p$, infinitely many fields of degree $p^2-1$ whose ideal class group has a large $p$-torsion…

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 give an algorithm to determine factorization types of primes in the number fields generated by a single point of odd order on an elliptic curve. We apply this to compute coefficients of the Dedekind zeta function of the field.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbf{Q}$ without complex multiplication. For each prime $\ell$, there is a representation $\rho_{E,\ell}\colon \text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q}) \to \text{GL}_2(\mathbf{F}_{\ell})$…
