Let $E:y^2=x^3+ax+b$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We compute certain twists of the classical modular curves $X(8)$. Searching for rational points on these twists enables us to find non-trivial pairs of $8$-congruent…

Let $E$ be an elliptic defined over a number field $K$. Then its Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ is finitely generated: $E(K)\cong E(K)_{tor}\times\mathbb{Z}^r$. In this paper, we discuss the cyclic torsion subgroup of elliptic curves over cubic…

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…

For a complex elliptic curve $E$ and a point $p$ of order $n$ on it, the images of the points $p_k=kp$ under the Weierstrass embedding of $E$ into $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$ are collinear if and only if the sum of indices is divisible by $n$.…

Modular curves $X_{1}(N)$ parametrize elliptic curves with a point of order $N$. They can be identified with connected components of projectivized strata $\mathbb{P}\mathcal{H}(a,-a)$ of meromorphic differentials. As strata of meromorphic…

In this paper, we determine all tetraelliptic modular curves $X_1(N)$ over $\mathbb Q$, and find some tetraelliptic maps $\phi_N$ from $X_1(N)$ to elliptic curves for those tetraelliptic $X_1(N)$. Also we will construct $\phi_N$ explicitly…

For a superelliptic curve $\mathcal X$, defined over $\mathbb Q$, let $\mathfrak p$ denote the corresponding moduli point in the weighted moduli space. We describe a method how to determine a minimal integral model of $\mathcal X$ such…

We show that the total number of non-torsion integral points on the elliptic curves $\mathcal{E}_D:y^2=x^3-D^2x$, where $D$ ranges over positive squarefree integers less than $N$, is $O( N(\log N)^{-1/4+\epsilon})$. The proof involves a…

In this work, we estimate the genus of the intermediate modular curves between $X_1(N)$ and $X_0(N),$ and determine all the trigonal ones.

We study the problem of the existence of arithmetic progressions of three cubes over quadratic number fields Q(sqrt(D)), where D is a squarefree integer. For this purpose, we give a characterization in terms of Q(sqrt(D))-rational points on…

Let $X/\mathbb{Q}$ be a curve of genus $g \ge 2$ with Jacobian $J$ and let $\ell$ be a prime of good reduction. Using Selmer varieties, Kim defines a decreasing sequence \[ X(\mathbb{Q}_\ell) \supseteq X(\mathbb{Q}_\ell)_1 \supseteq…

Classical modular curves are of deep interest in arithmetic geometry. In this survey we show how the work of Fumiyuki Momose is involved in order to list the classical modular curves which satisfy that the set of quadratic points over…

We study the finiteness of low degree points on certain modular curves and their Atkin--Lehner quotients, and, as an application, prove the modularity of elliptic curves over all but finitely many totally real fields of degree $5$. On the…

We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…

A curve X over the field Q of rational numbers is modular if it is dominated by X_1(N) for some N; if in addition the image of its jacobian in J_1(N) is contained in the new subvariety of J_1(N), then X is called a new modular curve. We…

Let $\mathcal N$ be the moduli space of sextics with 3 (3,4)-cusps. The quotient moduli space ${\mathcal N}/G$ is one-dimensional and consists of two components, ${\mathcal N}_{torus}/G$ and ${\mathcal N}_{gen}/G$. By quadratic…

Let $E_1, E_2 / \mathbb{C}$ be non-isomorphic elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove that the pair $(E_1, E_2)$ is characterised, up to isomorphism, by the difference $j(E_1) - j(E_2)$ of the respective $j$-invariants. In…

An isolated point of degree $d$ is a closed point on an algebraic curve which does not belong to an infinite family of degree $d$ points that can be parameterized by some geometric object. We provide an algorithm to test whether a rational,…

We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…

We prove that all elliptic curves defined over real quadratic fields are modular.
