Let k be a number field, let E/k be an elliptic curve, and let S be a finite set of places of k contianing the archimedean places. Let F be an algebraic closure of k. We prove that if a point P in E(F) is nontorsion, then there are only…

The ratio set of a set of positive integers $A$ is defined as $R(A) := \{a / b : a, b \in A\}$. The study of the denseness of $R(A)$ in the set of positive real numbers is a classical topic and, more recently, the denseness in the set of…

Let $A$ be an absolutely simple abelian surface defined over a number field $K$ with a commutative (geometric) endomorphism ring. Let $\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x)$ denote the number of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ in $K$ such that each prime has norm…

Let $K$ be a global field of finite characteristic $p\geq2$, and let $E/K$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We give an asympotoic formula of the number of places $\nu$ for which the reduction of $E$ at $\nu$ is a cyclic group. Moreover…

Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ be algebraic numbers in a number field $K$ generating a subgroup of rank $r$ in $K^\times$. We investigate under GRH the number of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that each of the orders of…

For an algebraic number $\alpha$ we consider the orders of the reductions of $\alpha$ in finite fields. In the case where $\alpha$ is an integer, it is known by the work on Artin's primitive root conjecture that the order is "almost always…

Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ and perfect residue field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with a $K$-rational isogeny of prime degree $\ell$. In this article, we study the…

For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…

A classical result in number theory is Dirichlet's theorem on the density of primes in an arithmetic progression. We prove a similar result for numbers with exactly k prime factors for k>1. Building upon a proof by E.M. Wright in 1954, we…

Let $K$ be a number field and $G$ a finitely generated torsion-free subgroup of $K^\times$. Given a prime $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ we denote by ${\rm ind}_{\mathfrak p}(G)$ the index of the subgroup $(G\bmod\mathfrak p)$ of the multiplicative…

Let $A$ be a non-isotrivial almost ordinary abelian surface with possibly bad reductions over a global function field of odd characteristic $p$. Suppose $\Delta$ is an infinite set of positive integers, such that…

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…

Let $A$ be a $g$-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field $F$. It is conjectured that the set of ordinary primes of $A$ over $F$ has positive density, and this is known to be true when $g=1, 2$, or for certain abelian…

For pure extensions $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ with $\alpha^n=m$, we give a short proof, based only on Dedekind's index theorem, of the $\alpha$-monogeneity criterion: $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]=\mathcal{O}_K$ if and only if $m$ is square-free and…

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…

Fix a number field $k$ and a rational prime $\ell$. We consider abelian varieties whose $\ell$-power torsion generates a pro-$\ell$ extension of $k(\mu_{\ell^\infty})$ which is unramified away from $\ell$. It is a necessary, but not…

For a given elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rationals, we study the density of primes $p$ satisfying $\mathrm{gcd}(\#E(\mathbb{F}_p),p-1)=1$ and give a conjectural value for this density with strong heuristic evidence for most elliptic…

If $E$ is an elliptic curve, defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ or a number field having at least one real embedding, then Elkies proved that $E$ has supersingular reduction at infinitely many primes $p$. Baba and Granath extended this result to…

We generalize results of Alladi, Dawsey, and Sweeting and Woo for Chebotarev densities to general densities of sets of primes. We show that if $K$ is a number field and $S$ is any set of prime ideals with natural density $\delta(S)$ within…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…
