For an optimal modular parametrization $J_0(n) \twoheadrightarrow E$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $n$, Manin conjectured the agreement of two natural $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices in the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space $H^0(E,…

The Manin constant $c$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is the nonzero integer that scales the differential $\omega_f$ determined by the normalized newform $f$ associated to $E$ into the pullback of a N\'{e}ron differential under…

We study the p-adic valuation of the values of normalised Hecke eigenforms attached to non-isotrivial elliptic curves defined over function fields of transcendence degree one over finite fields of characteristic p. We derive upper bounds on…

Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $N$, there exists a surjective morphism $\phi_E: X_0(N) \to E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we discuss the growth of $\mathrm{deg}(\phi_E)$ and shed some light on Watkins's…

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 $K$,…

Watkins' conjecture asserts that for a rational elliptic curve $E$ the degree of the modular parametrization is divisible by $2^r$, where $r$ is the rank of $E$. In this paper we prove that if the modular degree is odd then $E$ has rank…

Suppose $p$ is a prime of the form $u^2+64$ for some integer $u$, which we take to be 3 mod 4. Then there are two Neumann--Setzer elliptic curves $E_0$ and $E_1$ of prime conductor $p$, and both have Mordell--Weil group $\Z/2\Z$. There is a…

We investigate the standard stable manifold theorem in the context of a partially hyperbolic singu-larity of a vector field depending on a parameter. We prove some estimates on the size of the neighbourhood where the local stable manifold…

In this note we compute a constant $N$ that bounds the number of non--primitive divisors in elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields of any characteristic. We improve a result of Ingram--Mah{\'e}--Silverman--Stange--Streng,…

We revisit the calculation of the strong Weil curve in an isogeny class of elliptic curves over Q, of the Manin constant and modular degree of an elliptic curve, using modular symbols as defined in [Pollack-Stevens], now implemented in…

This paper is devoted to the Lin-Ni conjecture for a semi-linear elliptic equation with a super-linear, sub-critical nonlinearity and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We establish a new rigidity result, that is, we prove that the…

We prove the well-posedness of the differential equation $Au=f$ in the setting of a stratified group $\mathbb{G}$ when the considered second-order differential operator $A$ can be non-invariant and non-linear. Our approach follows the…

We give a new proof of the Semistable Reduction Theorem for curves. The main idea is to present a curve $Y$ over a local field $K$ as a finite cover of the projective line $X=\PP^1_K$. By successive blowups (and after replacing $K$ by a…

Two elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ are called discriminant twins if they have the same minimal discriminant and the same conductor. Deines, in 2014, conjectured that there exist infinitely many semi-stable non-isogenous…

In this paper we give a proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture: that local solvability of principal type pseudo-differential operators is equivalent to condition ($\Psi$). This condition rules out certain sign changes of the imaginary…

The modular degree m_E of an elliptic curve E/Q is the minimal degree of any surjective morphism X_0(N) -> E, where N is the conductor of E. We give a necessarily set of criteria for m_E to be odd. Specializing to N prime our results imply…

A new differentiable sphere theorem is obtained from the view of submanifold geometry. An important scalar is defined by the scalar curvature and the mean curvature of an oriented complete submanifold $M^n$ in a space form $F^{n+p}(c)$ with…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals and let N be its conductor. Assume N is prime. In this paper we give numerical evidence that suggests some conjectures on the 2-divisibility of certain sums of Heenger points on E of…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$ be an unramified real curve with $X(\mathbb{R}) \neq \emptyset$. If $n \geq 3$ is odd, Huisman conjectures that $X$ is an $M$-curve and that every branch of $X(\mathbb{R})$ is a pseudo-line. If $n \geq 4$ is…

Let X/S be a hyperelliptic curve of genus g over the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring. Two fundamental numerical invariants are attached to X/S: the valuation of the hyperelliptic discriminant of X/S, and the valuation of the Mumford…
