It follows from the work of Artin and Hooley that, under assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the density of the set of primes $q$ for which a given non-zero rational number $r$ is a primitive root modulo $q$ can be written as…
Given non-CM elliptic curves $E_1$ and $E_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we study the natural density of primes $p$ of good reduction for which the orders of the groups $E_1(\mathbb{F}_p)$ and $E_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ are coprime. This problem may be…
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…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Q$ without complex multiplication, and which is not isogenous to a curve with non-trivial rational torsion. For each prime $p$ of good reduction, let $|E(\F_p)|$ be the order of the group of points of the…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication. For a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$, we write $\#E_p(\mathbb{F}_p) = p + 1 - a_p(E)$ for the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-rational points of the…
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…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a positive integer $N$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$ possesses exactly $N$ points over $\mathbb F_p$. On average (over a family of…
For an elliptic curve $E$ defined over a number field $K$, the heuristic density of the set of primes of $K$ for which $E$ has cyclic reduction is given by an inclusion-exclusion sum $\delta_{E/K}$ involving the degrees of the $m$-division…
Let E be an elliptic curve over the number field Q. In 1988, Koblitz conjectured an asymptotic for the number of primes p for which the cardinality of the group of F_p-points of E is prime. However, the constant occurring in his asymptotic…
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…
It is well-known that if $E$ is an elliptic curve over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $E(\mathbb{F}_p)\simeq\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/mk\mathbb{Z}$ for some positive integers $m, k$. Let $S(M,K)$ denote the set of pairs…
Let $\E$ be an elliptic curve over a finite field $\F_{q}$ of $q$ elements, with $\gcd(q,6)=1$, given by an affine Weierstra\ss\ equation. We also use $x(P)$ to denote the $x$-component of a point $P = (x(P),y(P))\in \E$. We estimate…
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 $E/\mathbf{Q}$ 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…
In 1988, Koblitz conjectured the infinitude of primes p for which |E(F_p)| is prime for elliptic curves E over Q, drawing an analogy with the twin prime conjecture. He also proposed studying the primality of |E(F_{p^l})| / |E(F_p)|, in…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$ and $\widetilde{E}_p$ denote the reduction of $E$ modulo a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$. The divisibility of $|\widetilde{E}_{p}(\mathbb{F}_p)|$ by an integer $m\ge 2$ for a set…
Let $\ell$ and $p \geq 3$ be different primes. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_\ell$ and $E'/\mathbb{Q}_\ell$ be elliptic curves with isomorphic $p$-torsion. Assume that $E$ has potentially multiplicative reduction. We classify when all…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and, for a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$ let $\tilde{E}_p$ denote the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$. Inspired by an elliptic curve analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. Let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $E(\mathbb Q)$ and $P\in E(\mathbb Q)$. In [1], it was proved that if $E$ has no nontrivial rational torsion points, then $P\in\Gamma$ if and only if $P\in…
We characterize the possible groups $E(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})$ arising from elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of the groups $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$, with $p$ varying among the prime divisors of $N$. This classification is…
