How many edges in an $n$-vertex graph will force the existence of a cycle with as many chords as it has vertices? Almost 30 years ago, Chen, Erd\H{o}s and Staton considered this question and showed that any $n$-vertex graph with $2n^{3/2}$…
We define elliptic sequences over a commutative ring as sequences indexed by the (positive) integers satisfying a 4-parameter, highly symmetric family of homogeneous quartic relations among terms which we call elliptic relations. We…
We investigate four properties related to an elliptic curve $E_t$ in Legendre form with parameter $t$: the curve $E_{t}$ has complex multiplication, $E_{-t}$ has complex multiplication, a point on $E_t$ with abscissa $2$ is of finite order,…
We show that every elliptic curve over a finite field of odd characteristic whose number of rational points is divisible by 4 is isogenous to an elliptic curve in Legendre form, with the sole exception of a minimal respectively maximal…
Dean conjectured three decades ago that every graph with minimum degree at least $k\ge 3$ contains a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$. While the conjecture has been verified for $k\in \{3,4\}$, it remains open for $k\ge 5$. A weaker…
Loops and cycles play an important role in computing endomorphism rings of supersingular elliptic curves and related cryptosystems. For a supersingular elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, if an imaginary quadratic order $O$…
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…
An elliptic curve defined over a number field possesses only a finite number of torsion points defined over the cyclotomic closure of its field of definition. In analogy to the relative version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture stated by…
A recently posed question of Haggkvist and Scott's asked whether or not there exists a constant c such that if G is a graph of minimum degree ck then G contains cycles of k consecutive even lengths. In this paper we answer the question by…
Recent work by Arpin, Chen, Lauter, Scheidler, Stange, and Tran counted the number of cycles of length $r$ in supersingular $\ell$-isogeny graphs. In this paper, we extend this work to count the number of cycles that occur along the spine.…
Given a set $S$ of elements in a number field $k$, we discuss the existence of planar algebraic curves over $k$ which possess rational points whose $x$-coordinates are exactly the elements of $S$. If the size $|S|$ of $S$ is either $4,5$,…
An elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is said to be good if $N_{E}^{6}<\max\!\left\{ \left\vert c_{4}^{3}\right\vert ,c_{6}^{2}\right\} $ where $N_{E}$ is the conductor of $E$ and $c_{4}$ and $c_{6}$ are the invariants associated to a…
The main topic considered is maximizing the number of cycles in a graph with given number of edges. In 2009, Kir\'aly conjectured that there is constant $c$ such that any graph with $m$ edges has at most $(1.4)^m$ cycles. In this paper, it…
We prove that a family of quasiregular mappings of a domain $\Omega$ which are uniformly bounded in $L^p$ for some $p>0$ form a normal family. From this we show how an elliptic estimate on a functional differences implies all directional…
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…
In this article we study the existence of limit cycles in families of piecewise smooth differential equations having the unit circle as discontinuity region. We consider families presenting singularities of center or saddle type, visible or…
Let $\mathsf{E}/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. By the modularity theorem, it admits a surjection from a modular curve $X_0(N) \to \mathsf{E}$, and the minimal degree among such maps is called the modular degree of $\mathsf{E}$. By the…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Q$ without complex multiplication, and which is not isogenous to a curve with non-trivial rational torsion. For each prime $p$ of good reduction, let $|E(\F_p)|$ be the order of the group of points of the…
Suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $\Q$. At the 1983 ICM the first author formulated some conjectures that propose a close relationship between the explicit class field theory construction of certain abelian extensions of…
Given a pair of elliptic curves $E_1,E_2$ over a field $k$, we have a natural map $\text{CH}^1(E_1)_0\otimes\text{CH}^1(E_2)_0\to\text{CH}^2(E_1\times E_2)$, and a conjecture due to Beilinson predicts that the image of this map is finite…
