Given an elliptic curve E over a finite field F_q of q elements, we say that an odd prime ell not dividing q is an Elkies prime for E if t_E^2 - 4q is a square modulo ell, where t_E = q+1 - #E(F_q) and #E(F_q) is the number of F_q-rational…
We conjecture that, for a fixed prime $p$, rational elliptic curves with higher rank tend to have more points mod $p$. We show that there is an analogous bias for modular forms with respect to root numbers, and conjecture that the order of…
We present a very efficient algorithm to construct an elliptic curve E and a finite field F such that the order of the point group E(F) is a given prime number N. Heuristically, this algorithm only takes polynomial time Otilde((\log N)^3),…
We show that the number of copies of ${\Bbb Q}_p/{\Bbb Z}_p$ in the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve $E$ over ${\Bbb Q}$ with complex multipication, is at most $2p - g$, where $g$ is the rank of $E({\Bbb Q})$, and for all…
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. The aim of the present paper is to strengthen the theoretical and numerical results of \cite{CZS}. For each prime p, let t_{E/Q, p} denote the Z_p-corank of the p-primary…
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…
For a prime $p$ and a rational elliptic curve $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$, set $K=\mathbb{Q}(E[p])$ to denote the torsion field generated by $E[p]:=\operatorname{ker}\{E\xrightarrow{p} E\}$. The class group $\operatorname{Cl}_K$ is a module over…
Let $\ell$ be a prime number and let $E$ and $E'$ be $\ell$-isogenous elliptic curves defined over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p \ne \ell$. Suppose the groups $E(k)$ and $E'(k)$ are isomorphic, but $E(K) \not \simeq E'(K)$, where…
In 2009, W. D. Banks and I. E. Shparlinski studied the average densities of primes $p \leq x$ for which the reductions of elliptic curves of small height modulo $p$ satisfy certain arithmetic properties, namely cyclicity and divisibility of…
Given an elliptic curve E/Q and a prime p at which E has good reduction, let e_p be the exponent of the group E_p(F_p) of F_p-rational points on the reduction of E modulo p. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for the Dedekind…
Let $E$ and $E'$ be 2-isogenous elliptic curves over $\Q$. Following \cite{ck}, we call a good prime $p$ \emph{anomalous} if $E(\F_p) \simeq E'(\F_p)$ but $E(\F_{p^2}) \not \simeq E'(\F_{p^2})$. Our main result is an explicit formula for…
We give upper bounds for the number of rational elliptic surfaces in some families having positive rank, obtaining in particular that these form a subset of density zero. This confirms Cowan's conjecture (arXiv:2009.08622v2) in the case…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we design a deterministic algorithm that, given a prime p and positive integer m=o(sqrt(p)/(log p)^4), outputs an elliptic curve E over the finite field F_p for which the cardinality of E(F_p) is…
For a fixed number field and an elliptic curve defined and semi-stable over this number field, we consider the set of prime numbers p such that the Galois representation attached to the p-torsion points of the elliptic curve is reducible.…
For primes $p,e>2$ there are at least $p^{e-3}/e$ groups of order $p^{2e+2}$ that have equal multisets of isomorphism types of proper subgroups and proper quotient groups, isomorphic character tables, and power maps. This obstructs recent…
We present an algorithm that, on input of a positive integer N together with its prime factorization, constructs a finite field F and an elliptic curve E over F for which E(F) has order N. Although it is unproved that this can be done for…
Let $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ be an elliptic curve with rank $E(\mathbb{Q})=0$. Fix an odd prime $p$, a positive integer $n$ and a finite abelian extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with rank $E(K) = 0$. In this paper, we show that there exist infinitely many…
Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$. For $p \in \mathcal{P}$ the set of prime numbers, let $N_{X}(p)$ be the number of $\mathbf{F}_{p}$-points of $X/\mathbf{F}_{p}$. For fixed $n\geq 1$ and $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n} \in…
Let $p$ be a prime and $K$ a number field of degree $p$. We count the number of elliptic curves, up to $\bar{K}$-isomorphism, having a prescribed property, where this property is either that the curve contains a fixed torsion group as a…
Let $p>3$ be a fixed prime. For a supersingular elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $j$-invariant $j(E)\in \mathbb{F}_p\backslash\{0, 1728\}$, it is well known that the Frobenius map $\pi=((x,y)\mapsto (x^p, y^p))\in…
