We study the elliptic curve E given by y^2=x(x+1)(x+t) over the rational function field k(t) and its extensions K_d=k(\mu_d,t^{1/d}). When k is finite of characteristic p and d=p^f+1, we write down explicit points on E and show by…

Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $\Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $\Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$…

In this work, we consider the rational points on elliptic curves over finite fields F_{p}. We give results concerning the number of points on the elliptic curve y^2{\equiv}x^3+a^3(mod p)where p is a prime congruent to 1 modulo 6. Also some…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this work, we use characters to give the number of rational points on suitable curves of low degree over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in terms of the number of rational points on elliptic…

We continue our study of the Legendre elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over function fields $K_d=\mathbf{F}_p(\mu_d,t^{1/d})$. When $d=p^f+1$, we have previously exhibited explicit points generating a subgroup $V_d$ of $E(K_d)$ of rank…

In this article we present a characterization of elliptic curves defined over a finite field Fq which possess a rational subgroup of order three. There are two posible cases depending on the rationality of the points in these groups. We…

I provide a systematic construction of points (defined over number fields) on Legendre elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$: for any odd integer $n\geq 3$ my method constructs $n$ points on the Legendre curve and I show that rank of the…

Given an elliptic quartic of type $Y^2=f(X)$ representing an elliptic curve of positive rank over $\Q$, we investigate the question of when the $Y$-coordinate can be represented by a quadratic form of type $ap^2+bq^2$. In particular, we…

We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…

For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…

Let $\E$ be an ordinary elliptic curve over a finite field $\F_{q}$ of $q$ elements and $x(Q)$ denote the $x$-coordinate of a point $Q = (x(Q),y(Q))$ on $\E$. Given an $\F_q$-rational point $P$ of order $T$, we show that for any subsets…

We give several new constructions for moderate rank elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$. In particular we construct infinitely many rational elliptic surfaces (not in Weierstrass form) of rank 6 over $\mathbb{Q}$ using polynomials of…

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 $E_{(p,q)}$…

We use rational parametrizations of certain cubic surfaces and an explicit formula for descent via 3-isogeny to construct the first examples of elliptic curves E_k: x^3 + y^3 = k of ranks 8, 9, 10, and 11 over Q. As a corollary we produce…

Let $q$ be a perfect power of a prime number $p$ and $E({\mathbb F}_q)$ be an elliptic curve over ${\mathbb F}_q$ given by the equation $y^2=x^3+Ax+B$. For a positive integer $n$ we denote by $ \# E({\mathbb F}_{q^n})$ the number of…

We give an explicit description of the F_{q^i}-rational points on the Fermat curve u^{q-1}+v^{q-1}+w^{q-1}=0 for each i=1,2,3. As a consequence, we observe that for any such point (u,v,w), the product uvw is a cube in F_{q^i}. We also…

We prove that the group of rational points of a non-isotrivial elliptic curve defined over the perfect closure of a function field in one variable over a finite field is finiteley generated.

We determine the precise number of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\text{char}(\mathbb{F}_q) = 3,2$. The key idea is to obtain the exact unweighted number of rational points on the classifying stacks…

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…

I provide a systematic construction of points, defined over finite radical extensions, on any Legendre curve over any field of characteristic not equal two. This includes as special case Douglas Ulmer's construction of rational points over…
