For an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ we show that there are infinitely many cyclic sextic extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ such that the Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ has rank greater than the subgroup of $E(K)$ generated by all the $E(F)$ for the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals and in minimal Weierstrass form, and let $P=(x_1/z_1^2,y_1/z_1^3)$ be a rational point of infinite order on $E$, where $x_1,y_1,z_1$ are coprime integers. We show that the integer…

Consider the elliptic curve $E$ given by the Weierstrass equation $y^2 = x^3 - 11x - 14$, which has complex multiplication by the order of conductor $2$ inside $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. It was recently observed in a paper of Daniels and…

In this work, we study elliptic curves of the form $E_L: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-L)$, where $L^2-L+1 \in \left(\mathbb{Q}^{\times}\right)^2$ and $L \in \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{0,1\}$. We will show that for almost all quadratic extensions…

For any family of elliptic curves over the rational numbers with fixed $j$-invariant, we prove that the existence of a long sequence of rational points whose $x$-coordinates form a non-trivial arithmetic progression implies that the…

We count by height the number of elliptic curves over the rationals, both up to isomorphism over the rationals and over an algebraic closure thereof, that admit a cyclic isogeny of degree $7$.

We determine all modular curves $X_0^+(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.

In this paper we obtain a formula for the number of rational degree d curves in $\mathbb{P}^3$ having a cusp, whose image lies in a $\mathbb{P}^2$ and that passes through $r$ lines and $s$ points (where $r + 2s = 3d + 1$). This problem can…

This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journees Arithmetiques in St. Etienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective)…

This is an introduction to a probabilistic model for the arithmetic of elliptic curves, a model developed in a series of articles of the author with Bhargava, Kane, Lenstra, Park, Rains, Voight, and Wood. We discuss the theoretical evidence…

In this paper, $p$ and $q$ are two different odd primes. First, We construct the congruent elliptic curves corresponding to $p$, $2p$, $pq$, and $2pq,$ then, in the cases of congruent numbers, we determine the rank of the corresponding…

The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…

We prove that, when all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ are ordered by naive height, a positive proportion have both algebraic and analytic rank one. It follows that the average rank and the average analytic rank of elliptic curves are…

We describe a system of plane algebraic curves defined over \Z, attached naturally to the exponential function. On of these is a remarkable curve of degree 6 that has genus equal to 1. As the sectic curve has rational points, it is an…

Watkins's conjecture suggests that for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, the rank of the group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ of rational points is bounded above by $\nu_2 (m_E)$, where $m_E$ is the modular degree associated with $E$. It is known that…

We call a pair of distinct prime powers $(q_1,q_2) = (p_1^{a_1},p_2^{a_2})$ a Hasse pair if $|\sqrt{q_1}-\sqrt{q_2}| \leq 1$. For such pairs, we study the relation between the set $\mathcal{E}_1$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves…

We consider the family of elliptic curves $E_{a,b}:y^2=x^3+a(x-b)^2$ with $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$. These elliptic curves have a rational $3$-isogeny, say $\varphi$. We give an upper and a lower bound on the rank of the $\varphi$-Selmer group…

For any number field $K$ and integer $0\leq r \leq 4$, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves over $K$ of rank $r$. Our elliptic curves are obtained by specializing well-chosen nonisotrivial elliptic curves over the…

I provide methods of constructing elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over global fields with interesting rational points over the given fields or over large field extensions. I also provide a elliptic curves defined over any given number…
