The list of all groups that can appear as torsion subgroups of elliptic curves over number fields of degree $d$, $d=4,5,6$, is not completely determined. However, the list of groups $\Phi^{\infty}(d)$, $d=4,5,6$, that can be realized as…
We prove Larsen's conjecture for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with analytic rank at most $1$. Specifically, let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. If $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has analytic rank at most $1$, then we prove that…
Using a recent breakthrough of Alexander Smith, we prove that $l^\infty$-class groups of cyclic degree $l$ fields have the distribution conjectured by Gerth under GRH.
Let $\Phi^\infty(d)$ denote the set of finite abelian groups that occur infinitely often as the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve over a number field of degree $d$. The sets $\Phi^\infty(d)$ are known for $d\le 4$. In this article we…
Consider elliptic curves $ E=E_\sigma: y^2 = x (x+\sigma p) (x+\sigma q), $ where$ \sigma =\pm 1, $ $p$ and $ q$ are prime numbers with $p+2=q$. (1) The Selmer groups $ S^{(2)}(E/{\mathbf{Q}}), S^{(\phi)}(E/{\mathbf{Q})}$, and $\…
We produce an infinite family of imaginary quadratic fields whose ideal class groups have $3$-rank at least $2$.
The class number divisibility problem for number fields is one of the classical problems in algebraic number theory, which originated from Gauss' class number conjectures. The relation between the points on an elliptic curve and class…
In this paper, we are going to compute the average size of 2-Selmer groups of families of even hyperelliptic curves over function fields. The result will be obtained by a geometric method which is based on a Vinberg representation of the…
We study an infinite family of $j$-invariant zero elliptic curves $E_{D}:y^{2}=x^{3}+16D$ and their $\lambda$-isogenous curves $E_{D'}:y^{2}=x^{3}-27\cdot16D$, where $D$ and $D' = -3D$ are fundamental discriminants of a specific form, and…
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. In 1988, Koblitz conjectured a precise asymptotic for the number of primes p up to x such that the order of the group of points of E over the finite field F_p is prime. This is an analogue of the Hardy and…
For any odd prime $p$ and any imaginary quadratic field $K$, the $p$-tower group $G_K$ associated to $K$ is the Galois group over $K$ of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of $K$. This group comes with an action of a finite group…
We prove that there are >>X^{1/30}/(log X) imaginary quadratic number fields with an ideal class group of 3-rank at least 5 and discriminant bounded in absolute value by X. This improves on an earlier result of Craig, who proved the…
Fix a prime number $\ell \geq 5$. Let $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$ coprime to $2,3$, and $q \equiv 1 \text{ mod } \ell$. Let $C:y^\ell = F(x)$ be a non-isotrivial superelliptic curve over $K$ such…
In this article, we combine Bhargava's geometry-of-numbers methods with the dynamical point-counting methods of Eskin--McMullen and Benoist--Oh to develop a new technique for counting integral points on symmetric varieties lying within…
Let $T_n$ be a $2$-dimensional determinantal hypertree on $n$ vertices. Kahle and Newman conjectured that the $p$-torsion of $H_1(T_n,\mathbb{Z})$ asymptotically follows the Cohen-Lenstra distribution. For $p=2$, we disprove this conjecture…
We analyze the distribution of unitarized L-polynomials Lp(T) (as p varies) obtained from a hyperelliptic curve of genus g <= 3 defined over Q. In the generic case, we find experimental agreement with a predicted correspondence (based on…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let…
Let F be the cubic field of discriminant -23 and O its ring of integers. Let Gamma be the arithmetic group GL_2 (O), and for any ideal n subset O let Gamma_0 (n) be the congruence subgroup of level n. In a previous paper, two of us (PG and…
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G = E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion subgroup. We study, for a given G, which possible groups G <= H could appear such that H=E(K)_tors, for [K:Q]=4 and H is one of the possible torsion…
