Given an elliptic curve ${\mathcal E}$ over a field $K$ it is a challenging problem to write down explicit elements of its endomorphism ring ${\rm End}({\mathcal E});$ the problem amounts to find all possible solutions to a functional…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a positive integer $N$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$ possesses exactly $N$ points over $\mathbb F_p$. On average (over a family of…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. For a quadratic number field $K$ and an odd prime number $p$, let $L$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$. We prove that $E(L)_{\text{tors}}=E(K)_{\text{tors}}$ when $p>5$. It enables…

We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+f(t)$, where $f\in k[t]$ has coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. By performing $2$ and $3$-descent, we obtain, under suitable…

Let $\{E_{(p,q)}\}$ be a family of elliptic curves over a rational field such that we have $E_{(p,q)} : y^2 = x^3 - p^2x + q^2$, where $p$ and $q$ are prime numbers greater than five. Earlier work showed that the elliptic curve $E_{(p,q)}$…

A closed-form formula is derived for the generalized Clebsch-Gordan integral $ \int_{-1}^1 {[}P_{\nu}(x){]}^2P_{\nu}(-x)\D x$, with $ P_\nu$ being the Legendre function of arbitrary complex degree $ \nu\in\mathbb C$. The finite Hilbert…

Let $L_d$ be the Latt\`es map associated to the multiplication-by-$d$ endomorphism of an elliptic curve $E$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We determine the density $\delta(L_d,q)$ of periodic points for $L_d$ in…

For a prime $p$ and a rational elliptic curve $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$, set $K=\mathbb{Q}(E[p])$ to denote the torsion field generated by $E[p]:=\operatorname{ker}\{E\xrightarrow{p} E\}$. The class group $\operatorname{Cl}_K$ is a module over…

The goal of this article is to give an explicit classification of the possible $p$-adic Galois representations that are attached to elliptic curves $E$ with CM defined over $\mathbb{Q}(j(E))$. More precisely, let $K$ be an imaginary…

Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime and for $a, b \in \mathbb{F}_{p}$, let $E_{a,b}$ denote the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with equation $y^2=x^3+a\,x + b$. As usual define the trace of Frobenius $a_{p,\,a,\,b}$ by \begin{equation*}…

Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…

We consider all \emph{odd} fundamental discriminants $D \equiv 2 \bmod 3$ and their mirror discriminants $D' = -3D$, and we study the family of elliptic curves $E_{D'}: y^{2} = x^{3} + 16D'$. We denote by $r_{3}(D)$ and $r_{3}(D')$ the rank…

This version improves the old version entitled "On the modularity of elliptic curves with a residually irreducible representation". Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an abelian totally real field $K$ unramified at 3,5, and 7. We prove that…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant $d_K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. When $K$ is different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$, we consider a certain specific model for the elliptic curve…
