In these lecture notes I give an elementary introduction to elliptic hypergeometric functions. I focus on motivating the main ideas and constructions, rather than giving a comprehensive survey. The lectures include a brief explanation of…

Let E/k be an elliptic curve over a number field. We obtain some quantitative refinements of results of Hindry-Silverman, giving an upper bound for the number of k-rational torsion points, and a lower bound for the canonical height of…

We introduce an analogue of the Mertens conjecture for elliptic curves over finite fields. Using a result of Waterhouse, we classify the isogeny classes of elliptic curves for which this conjecture holds in terms the size of the finite…

This is a survey article on the theory of lattice points in large planar domains and bodies of dimensions 3 and higher, with an emphasis on recent developments and new methods, including a lot of results established only during the last few…

We introduce and motivate a conjecture about the existence of complete, 1-dimensional families of covers of an elliptic curve. If the conjecture holds, then it would imply a uniform lower bound of 5 for slope of the moduli space of curves.…

A brief exposition of the point of higher topos theory in (mathematical) physics, commissioned for the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics 2nd ed.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author because Conjecture 1 is false. Please see arXiv:0901.2093 for a justification that Conjecture 1 is false. The other main results are also available from the above URL.

In this paper we refine recent work due to A. Shankar, A. N. Shankar, and X. Wang on counting elliptic curves by conductor to the case of elliptic curves with a rational 2-torsion point. This family is a small family, as opposed to the…

We present an elliptic curve analog of the Stark conjecture for the value of the $L$-function at $s=0$. Although implied by the general Beilinson conjectures, the approach here is very concrete. Several cases are proved.

Properties of the recently reported homogeneous Hilbert curves are deduced and reported. The nature of the affine transformations involved in the construction of the Hilbert curves is explored. The analytical representation of proper and…

Rank computation of elliptic curves has deep relations with various unsolved questions in number theory, most notably in the congruent number problem for right-angled triangles. Similar relations between elliptic curves and Heron triangles…

In this expository paper, we show how to use in practice 3-descent with a 3-isogeny to find an estimate for the rank of an elliptic curve having a rational 3-torsion subgroup, and we also give a geometric interpretation of these…

We propose several Hodge theoretic analogues of the conjectures of Hopf and Singer, and prove them in some special cases.

In this paper, we present several methods for construction of elliptic curves with large torsion group and positive rank over number fields of small degree. We also discuss potential applications of such curves in the elliptic curve…

A mixture of an historical article, and of a survey of recent developments, containing also a couple of new results.

We prove that the number of rational points of bounded height on certain del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 defined over Q grows linearly, as predicted by Manin's conjecture. Along the way, we investigate the average number of integral points…

We establish new upper bounds for the height of the S-integral points of an elliptic curve. This bound is explicitly given in terms of the set S of places of the number field K involved, but also in terms of the degree of K, as well as the…

We attempt to survey recent results and open problems connected to Lieb-Thirring inequalities.

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…
