For a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rationals, Lang and Trotter made very deep conjectures concerning the number of primes $p\leq x$ for which $a_p(E)$ is a fixed integer (and for which the Frobenius field at $p$ is a fixed…

Let $E$ be a semistable elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. We prove that if $E$ has non-split multiplicative reduction at at least one odd prime or split multiplicative reduction at at least two odd primes and if the rank of $E(\mathbb{Q})$…

We compute the higher ramification groups and the Artin conductors of radical extensions of the rationals. As an application, we give formulas for their discriminant (using the conductor-discriminant formula). The interest in such number…

Consider a rational point on an elliptic curve under an isogeny. Suppose that the action of Galois partitions the set of its pre-images into n orbits. It is shown that all such points above a certain height have their denominator divisible…

One of the many interesting algebraic objects associated to a given rational elliptic curve, $E$, is its full-torsion representation $\rho_E:\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to\mathrm{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbf{Z}})$. Generalizing this…

We present an explicit basis for orders of arbitrary level N>1 in definite rational quaternion algebras. These orders have applications to computations of spaces of elliptic and quaternionic modular forms.

In this note we investigate the behaviour of the absolute logarithmic Weil-height h on extensions of the field $\mathbb{Q}^{tr}$ of totally real numbers. It is known that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of h on…

This paper studies explicit and theoretical bounds for several interesting quantities in number theory, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Specifically, we improve the existing explicit bounds for the least quadratic…

Ribet has proven remarkable results about non-optimal levels of residually reducible Galois representations. We focus on a non-optimal level $N$ that is the product of two distinct primes and where the Galois deformation ring is not…

We study the interaction between the group law on an elliptic curve and the additive structure of $x$-coordinates of rational points on an elliptic curve. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of Mordell-Weil rank $r \geq 1$, $d \geq 1$…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q, and let n=>1. The central object of study of this article is the division field Q(E[n]) that results by adjoining to Q the coordinates of all n-torsion points on E(Q). In particular, we classify all curves…

Let $d$ and $n$ be positive integers, and $E/F$ be a separable field extension of degree $m=\binom{n+d}{n}$. We show that if $|F| > 2$, then there exists a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n(E)$ which does not lie on any degree $d$ hypersurface…

In this paper, we obtain an unconditional density theorem concerning the low-lying zeros of Hasse-Weil L-functions for a family of elliptic curves. From this together with the Riemann hypothesis for these L-functions, we infer the majorant…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over the rationals. The purpose of this article is to define a positive integer $A(E)$, that we call the {\it Serre's constant associated to $E$}, that gives necessary…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…

Given a family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, we investigate the average rank in the subfamily of twists having a nontorsion rational point of almost minimal height. We show in particular that the…

Let $E_1, \ldots, E_s $ be $s$, not necessary distinct, elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. We give upper bounds on the frequency of $s$-tuples of points in $E_1(\mathbb{Q})\times \ldots \times E_s(\mathbb{Q})$ whose denominators or…

We show that transcendental curves in $\mathbb R^n$ (not necessarily compact) have few rational points of bounded height provided that the curves are well behaved with respect to algebraic sets in a certain sense and can be parametrized by…

Suppose that G is a finite group and A is a subset of G such that 1_A has algebra norm at most M. Then 1_A is a plus/minus sum of at most L cosets of subgroups of G, and L can be taken to be triply tower in O(M). This is a quantitative…
