In this note we revisit classic work of Soundararajan on class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. Let $A,B,g \ge 3$ be positive integers such that $\gcd(A,B)$ is square-free. We refine Soundararajan's result to show that if $4 \nmid g$…

We prove that there are $\gg\frac{X^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(\log X)^2}$ imaginary quadratic fields $k$ with discriminant $|d_k|\leq X$ and an ideal class group of $5$-rank at least $2$. This improves a result of Byeon, who proved the lower bound…

Let $K$ be a non-cylotomic imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 and $E/K$ is an elliptic curve with $E(K)[2]\simeq \mathbb{Z}_1.$ We determine the odd-order torsion groups that can arise as $E(L)_{\text{tor}}$ where $L$ is a…

In the present paper, we prove, for a large class of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, the existence of an explicit infinite family of quadratic twists with analytic rank $0$. In addition, we establish the $2$-part of the…

Let $E$ be a CM elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $p$ a prime. We show that $${\mathrm corank}_{\mathbb{Z}_{p}} {\mathrm Sel}_{p^{\infty}}(E_{/\mathbb{Q}})=0 \implies {\mathrm ord}_{s=1}L(s,E_{/\mathbb{Q}})=0 $$ for the…

In this paper, we consider elliptic curves induced by rational Diophantine quadruples, i.e. sets of four nonzero rationals such that the product of any two of them plus 1 is a perfect square. We show that for each of the groups…

We present two distinct families of imaginary biquadratic fields, each of which contains infinitely many members, with each member having large class groups. Construction of the first family involves elliptic curves and their quadratic…

We establish effective equidistribution theorems, with a polynomial error rate, for orbits of unipotent subgroups in quotients of quasi-split, almost simple Linear algebraic groups of absolute rank 2. As an application, inspired by the…

We prove that a positive proportion of integers are expressible as the sum of two rational cubes, and a positive proportion are not so expressible, thus proving a conjecture of Davenport. More generally, we prove that a positive proportion…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ without complex multiplication. If $\Gamma \subset E(\overline{K})$ is a subgroup of finite rank, a very special case of a conjecture of R\'emond predicts that points of small…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. Michael Larsen conjectured that for any finitely generated subgroup G of Gal(\bar K/K), the Mordell-Weil rank of E is unbounded in number fields fixed by G. We prove that the…

We characterize quadratic twists of $y^2=x(x-a^2)(x+b^2)$ with Mordell-Weil groups and $2$-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate groups being isomorphic to $(\mathb Z/2\mathbb Z)^2$ under certain conditions. We also obtain the distribution…

Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with torsion subgroup $G = E(\mathbb{Q})_{\rm tors}$ we study what groups (up to isomorphism) can occur as the torsion subgroup of $E$ base-extended to $K$, a degree 6 extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We…
