Let $X$ be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, nonsingular) algebraic curve of genus $g \ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of odd characteristic $p$. Let $Aut(X)$ be the group of all automorphisms of $X$ which fix…

Let $p\ge5$ be a prime and $T$ a Kodaira type of the special fiber of an elliptic curve. We estimate the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ up to height $X$ with Kodaira type $T$ at $p$. This enables us find the proportion of…

In this note we consider certain elliptic curves defined over real quadratic fields isogenous to their Galois conjugate. We give a construction of algebraic points on these curves defined over almost totally real number fields. The main…

For a prime $p{\,>\,}3$ and a supersingular elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ with ${j(E)\notin\{0,1728\}}$, consider an endomorphism $\alpha$ of $E$ represented as a composition of $L$ isogenies of degree at most $d$. We…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. We address the problem of practically computing the zeta function $Z(X,T)$ of $X$ (equivalently, the point counts $\#X(\mathbb{F}_q)$, where $q =…

In this work we present an explicit relation between the number of points on a family of algebraic curves over $\F_{q}$ and sums of values of certain hypergeometric functions over $\F_{q}$. Moreover, we show that these hypergeometric…

Superspecial curves are important objects in number theory and algebraic geometry, and the existence in genus $g \geq 4$ remains an open problem for all but finitely many characteristics $p > 0$. As a computational approach to this problem,…

We establish the existence of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose Jacobians possess rational torsion points of order $N$ where $N=4g^2+2g-2$ or $4g^2+ 2g -4$. For $N=2g^2+7g+1$, we introduce a…

We present two algorithms that, given a prime ell and an elliptic curve E/Fq, directly compute the polynomial Phi_ell(j(E),Y) in Fq[Y] whose roots are the j-invariants of the elliptic curves that are ell-isogenous to E. We do not assume…

We present a new algorithm for computing the endomorphism ring of an ordinary abelian surface over a finite field which is subexponential and generalizes an algorithm of Bisson and Sutherland for elliptic curves. The correctness of this…

In this paper, we develop an algorithm for computing Coleman--Gross (and hence Nekov\'a\v{r}) $p$-adic heights on hyperelliptic curves over number fields with arbitrary reduction type above $p$. This height is defined as a sum of local…

For each $t\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{-1,0,1\}$, define an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ by \begin{align*} E_t:y^2=x(x+1)(x+t^2). \end{align*} Using a formula for the root number $W(E_t)$ as a function of $t$ and assuming some standard…

Let $(X, \omega, c_X)$ be a real symplectic 4-manifold with real part $R X$. Let $L \subset R X$ be a smooth curve such that $[L] = 0 \in H_1 (R X ; Z / 2Z)$. We construct invariants under deformation of the quadruple $(X, \omega, c_X, L)$…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a quartic field $K$. By the Mordell-Weil theorem, $E(K)$ is a finitely generated group. We determine all the possibilities for the torsion group $E(K)_{tor}$ where $K$ ranges over all quartic fields $K$ and…

The $2$-cell embeddings of graphs on closed surfaces have been widely studied. It is well known that ($2$-cell) embedding a given graph $G$ on a closed orientable surface is equivalent to cyclically ordering the edges incident to each…
