For r=6,7,...,11 we find an elliptic curve E/Q of rank at least r and the smallest conductor known, improving on the previous records by factors ranging from 1.0136 (for r=6) to over 100 (for r=10 and r=11). We describe our search methods,…

In this work we use elementary methods to discuss the question of the minimal number of points with bad reduction over the projective line for elliptic curves E/k(T) which are non-constant resp. have non-constant j-invariant.

Let $\mathcal C_Q$ be the cyclic group of order $Q$, $n$ a divisor of $Q$ and $r$ a divisor of $Q/n$. We introduce the set of $(r,n)$-free elements of $\mathcal C_Q$ and derive a lower bound for the the number of elements $\theta \in…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…

In this paper, we prove that for each number field $F$ there exists a uniform bound on the prime levels $p$ of elliptic curves $E/F$ for which $F(E[p])=F(\zeta_p)$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we also give uniform bounds on…

A prime number $p$ is said to be irregular if it divides the class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p}) = \mathbb{Q}(\mathbb{G}_m[p])$. In this paper, we study its elliptic analogue for the division fields of an…

We will describe an algorithm to construct an elliptic curve $E_{f_q}$ over some prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$ such that such that $|E_{f_q}(\mathbb{F}_p)| = f_q$, where $f_q$ is a probable Fibonacci prime for some prime index $q$. The…

For a given elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, let $N_p(E)$ be the number of points on $E$ modulo $p$ for a prime of good reduction for $E$. Given integer $n$, let $G_k(E,n)$ be the number of $k$-tuples of $p_1<p_2<\ldots <p_k$ primes of good…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve and for each prime $p$, let $N_p$ denote the number of points of $E$ modulo $p$. The original version of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture asserts that $\prod \limits _{p \leq x} \frac{N_p}{p}…

Given a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ and an elliptic curve $E(R/\mathfrak{m})$, we define elliptic loops as the points of $\mathbb{P}^2(R)$ projecting to $E$ under the canonical modulo-$\mathfrak{m}$ reduction, endowed with an operation…

Let $\{nP+Q\}_{n\geq0}$ be a sequence of points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$. In this paper, we study the denominators of the $x$-coordinates of this sequence. We prove that, if $Q$ is a torsion point of prime order,…

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 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…

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…

For an elliptic curve E over Q and a natural number j, Cojocaru has shown that there is an explicit constant C_E,j giving (under GRH) the density of primes p of good reduction such that the smallest invariant factor of E(F_p) is j. For E…

For an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\F_q$, where $q$ is a prime power, we propose new algorithms for testing the supersingularity of $E$. Our algorithms are based on the Polynomial Identity Testing (PIT) problem for the $p$-th…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the analytic rank of $E$ over the cyclotomic extension $\mathbb{Q}(e^{2\pi i/q})$ is bounded above by $q^{45/52+\varepsilon}$, as $q\to \infty$ through the primes. This…

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…
