Genus Theory is a classical feature of integral binary quadratic forms. Using the author's generalization of the well-known correspondence between quadratic form classes and ideal classes of quadratic algebras, we extend it to the case when…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Mordell--Weil rank $2$ and $p$ be an odd prime of good ordinary reduction. For every imaginary quadratic field $K$ satisfying the Heegner hypothesis, there is (subject to the…
We determine the distribution of the sandpile group (a.k.a. Jacobian) of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,q) as n goes to infinity. Since any particular group appears with asymptotic probability 0 (as we show), it is natural ask for…
Using Serre's proposed complement to Shih's Theorem, we obtain PSL_2(F_p) as a Galois group over Q for at least 614 new primes p. Under the assumption that rational elliptic curves with odd analytic rank have positive rank, we obtain Galois…
We describe methods to determine all the possible torsion groups of an elliptic curve that actually appear over a fixed quadratic field. We use these methods to find, for each group that can appear over a quadratic field, the field with the…
We generalize the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics over function fields to \'{e}tale group schemes $G$ (with the classical case of abelian groups corresponding to constant group schemes). By using the results of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland, we…
Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and $p\geq 3$ be a prime. We prove the $p$-converse theorems for elliptic curves of potentially good ordinary reduction at Eisenstein primes (i.e., such that the residual representation $E[p]$ is…
Boston, Bush, and Hajir have developed heuristics, extending the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, that conjecture the distribution of the Galois groups of the maximal unramified pro-p extensions of imaginary quadratic number fields for p an odd…
Suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $\Q$. At the 1983 ICM the first author formulated some conjectures that propose a close relationship between the explicit class field theory construction of certain abelian extensions of…
We prove that there exist infinitely many elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ with $j$-invariant $1728$ and rank exactly $2$ which are not obtained by base change from $\mathbb{Q}$. The rank of each such curve is determined via 2-isogeny…
We construct unramified central simple algebras representing 2-torsion classes in the Brauer group of a hyperelliptic curve, and show that every 2-torsion class can be constructed this way when the curve has a rational Weierstrass point or…
For a given elliptic curve E in short Weierstrass form, we show that almost all quadratic twists E_D have no integral points, as D ranges over square-free integers ordered by size. Our result is conditional on a weak form of the Hall-Lang…
We give a positive answer to a Conjecture by Manjul Bhargava, Daniel M. Kane, Hendrik W. Lenstra Jr., Bjorn Poonen and Eric Rains, concerning the cohomology of torsion subgroups of elliptic curves over global fields. This implies that,…
Using equidistribution results of Katz and a computation in finite symplectic groups, we give an explicit asymptotic formula for the proportion of curves C over a finite field for which the l-torsion of Jac(C) is isomorphic to a given…
For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication, Lang and Trotter conjectured that the number of primes $p <X$ at which $E$ has a supersingular reduction is asymptotically equal to $c\sqrt{X}/\log X$, where $c>0$…
Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, it is a conjecture of Goldfeld that asymptotically half of its quadratic twists will have rank zero and half will have rank one. Nevertheless, higher rank twists do occur: subject to the parity…
For an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ we show that there are infinitely many cyclic sextic extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ such that the Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ has rank greater than the subgroup of $E(K)$ generated by all the $E(F)$ for the…
We study elliptic curves of the form $x^3+y^3=2p$ and $x^3+y^3=2p^2$ where $p$ is any odd prime satisfying $p\equiv 2\bmod 9$ or $p\equiv 5\bmod 9$. We first show that the $3$-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these…
In this article we describe the Hall algebra H_X of an elliptic curve X defined over a finite field and show that the group SL(2,Z) of exact auto-equivalences of the derived category D^b(Coh(X)) acts on the Drinfeld double DH_X of H_X by…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve, $p$ an odd prime and $K_{\infty}/K$ the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a quadratic imaginary field $K$. In a previous article the author conjectured that the fine $p^{\infty}$-Selmer…
