Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a positive integer $N$, let $K_\mathfrak{n}$ be the ray class field of $K$ modulo $\mathfrak{n}=N\mathcal{O}_K$. By using the…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with the property that $m\mid#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for a density $1$ set of primes $p$. Building upon work of Katz and Harron-Snowden, we study the probability…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, a celebrated conjecture of Goldfeld asserts that a positive proportion of its quadratic twists should have analytic rank 0 (resp. 1). We show this conjecture holds whenever $E$ has a rational…

We prove matching upper and lower bounds for the average of the 6-torsion of class groups of quadratic fields. Furthermore, we count the number of integer solutions on an affine quartic threefold.

For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…

It has been shown by Madden that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions of k(x), k a finite field, in which the ideal class group has exponent two and the infinity place of k(x) ramifies. We give a characterization of such fields…

Murty proved that for all sufficiently large $X$ there exist at least ${c(\ell,\eps) X^{1/{4\ell}-\eps}}$ real quadratic fields with class number divisible by $\ell$ and discriminant not exceeding $X$ in absolute value. We extend this this…

We study abelian varieties $A$ with multiplication by a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field and give a criterion for the existence of principal polarizations on them in pure arithmetic terms. Moreover, we…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G=E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion group. In a previous paper, the authors studied, for a given G, which possible groups G\leq H could appear such that H=E(K)_tors, for [K:Q]=2. In the…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of entanglements of division fields from a group theoretic perspective. For a positive integer $n$ and a subgroup $G\subseteq \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/{n}\mathbb{Z})$ with surjective determinant,…

Here we initiate a program to study relationships between finite groups and arithmetic-geometric invariants in a systematic way. To do this we first introduce a notion of optimal module for a finite group in the setting of holomorphic mock…

Let $C$ be a genus $2$ curve with Jacobian isomorphic to the square of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by a maximal order in an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant $-d<0$. We show that if the stable model of $C$ has bad…

Let $d$ be a positive square-free integer. In this paper we shall investigate the structure of the $2$-class group of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of the imaginary biquadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d},\sqrt{-1})$.…

This paper investigates which integers can appear as 2-Selmer ranks within the quadratic twist family of an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K with E(K)[2] = Z/2Z. We show that if E does not have a cyclic 4-isogeny defined over…

We study the distribution of $2$-torsion in class groups and narrow class groups of cubic fields and cubic orders subject to prescribed shape conditions. The \emph{shape} of a cubic order in a number field is a natural geometric invariant…

Let $A$ be a real quadratic order of discriminant $p$ or $4p$ with a prime $p$. In this paper we classify all proper totally imaginary quadratic $A$-orders $B$ with index $w(B)=[B^\times: A^\times]>1$. We also calculate numerical invariants…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rational field $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $K$ be a quadratic extension over $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $\mathrm{ST}(E/K)$ dente the Shafarevich-Tate group of $E$ over $K$. We show that (under mild conditions on $E$) for…

Let S=K[x_1,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring and R=S/I be a graded K-algebra where I is a graded ideal in S. Herzog, Huneke and Srinivasan have conjectured that the multiplicity of R is bounded above by a function of the maximal shifts in the…

This paper is originally designed as a part of revision of the author's preprint math.AG/9908174 "P-adic Schwarzian triangle groups of Mumford type". Recently, Yves Andr'e pointed out a flaw in that preprint; more precisely, Proposition II…

For any imaginary quadratic field $K$, the Galois group $G_K$ of its maximal unramified pro-$3$-extension is a Schur $\sigma$-group. If this has Zassenhaus type $(3,3)$, there are 13 possibilities for the isomorphism class of the finite…
