Let X be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic p, let l be a prime number different from p, and let L be an irreducible lisse l-adic sheaf on X whose determinant is of finite order. By a theorem of Lafforgue, for each prime…

We observe that there are elliptic curves over number fields all of whose quadratic twists must have positive rank, assuming the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. We give a classification of such curves in terms of their local behaviour,…

In this note we show that if an abelian variety possesses a Galois embedding into some projective space, then it must be isogenous to the self product of an elliptic curve. We prove moreover that the self product of an elliptic curve always…

We show that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$, up to isomorphism over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, for which the finitely generated group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ has rank exactly $2$. Our elliptic curves are given by explicit…

Given a minimal surface equipped with a generically finite map to an Abelian variety, we give an optimal bound on the canonical degree of a rational or an elliptic curve. As a corollary, we obtain the finiteness of rational and elliptic…

Starting from the elliptic curve $E: y^2 = x^3 - x$ over $\mathbb{F}_9$, a curve $\mathcal{X}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{3^{2n}}$ and a cyclic cover of $\mathcal{X}$ of degree $m \in \{2,3,4,6\}$, we construct the corresponding $m$-twists over the…

We find a tight relationship between the torsion subgroup and the image of the mod 2 Galois representation associated to an elliptic curve defined over the rationals. This is shown using some characterizations for the squareness of the…

We consider elliptic curves whose coefficients are degree 2 polynomials in a variable t. We prove that for infinitely many values of t the resulting elliptic curve has rank at least 1. All such curves together form an algebraic surface…

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…

Initially motivated by the relations between Anabelian Geometry and Artin's L-functions of the associated Galois-representations, here we study the list of zeta-functions of genus two abelian coverings of elliptic curves over finite fields.…

It is argued that a nonsingular elliptic curve admits a natural or fundamental abelian heap structure uniquely determined by the curve itself. It is shown that the set of complex analytic or rational functions from a nonsingular elliptic…

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with large Mordell-Weil rank, we explain how one can build, for suitable small primes $p$, infinitely many fields of degree $p^2-1$ whose ideal class group has a large $p$-torsion…

Let E be the supersingular elliptic curve defined over k, the algebraic closure of the finite field with two elements, which is unique up to k-isomorphism. Denote by 0 its identity element and let C be the quotient of E-{0} under the action…

We determine all genus 2 curves, defined over $\mathbb C$, which have simultaneously degree 2 and 3 elliptic subcovers. The locus of such curves has three irreducible 1-dimensional genus zero components in $\mathcal M_2$. For each component…

This article deals with the Galois representation attached to elliptic curves with an isogeny of prime degree over a number field. We first determine uniform criteria for the irreducibility of Galois representations attached to elliptic…

We show that there is essentially a unique elliptic curve $E$ defined over a cubic Galois extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q$ with a $K$-rational point of order 13 and such that $E$ is not defined over $\mathbb Q$.

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of elliptic curves whose rank is exactly two and the torsion subgroup is a cyclic group of order two or three, under the parity conjecture.

For an elliptic curve E over Q, the Galois action on the l-power torsion points defines representations whose images are subgroups of GL_2(Z/l^n Z). There are three exceptional prime powers l^n=2,3,4 when surjectivity of the mod l^n…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a local field $K$ with residue characteristic $3$, we investigate the action of the absolute Galois group of $K$ in the case of potentially good reduction. In particular the only not completely known case is…

We investigate fibrations by non-hyperelliptic curves of arithmetic genus three and geometric genus one in characteristic two. Assuming that there is only one moving singularity and that its image in the Frobenius pullback of the fibration…
