By adapting the technique of David, Koukoulopoulos and Smith for computing sums of Euler products, and using their interpretation of results of Schoof \`a la Gekeler, we determine the average number of subgroups (or cyclic subgroups) of an…
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 prove a conjecture of Kundu--Ray, following from the $p$-adic Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for supersingular primes by Bernardi--Perrin-Riou and Kato's Main Conjecture, predicting an expression for the leading term (up to a $p$-adic…
We say that two elliptic curves E_1, E_2 over a number field K are n-Selmer companions for a positive integer n if for every quadratic character \chi of K, there is an isomorphism between the n-Selmer groups Sel_n(E_1^\chi/K) and…
We give a short proof of the anticyclotomic analogue of the "strong" main conjecture of Kurihara on Fitting ideals of Selmer groups for elliptic curves with good ordinary reduction under mild hypotheses. More precisely, we completely…
We prove several results regarding some invariants of elliptic curves on average over the family of all elliptic curves inside a box of sides $A$ and $B$. As an example, let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $p$ be a…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve of rank $\text{rk}(E) \geq 1$, and let $P \in E(\mathbb{Q})$ be a point of infinite order. The number of elliptic primes $p \leq x$ for which $\langle P\rangle=E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is expected to be…
In this article, we study the minimal degree [K(T):K] of a p-subgroup T <= E(\overline{K})_tors for an elliptic curve E/K defined over a number field K. Our results depend on the shape of the image of the p-adic Galois representation…
In this paper, we explicitly classify the minimal discriminants of all elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with a non-trivial torsion subgroup. This is done by considering various parameterized families of elliptic curves with the property that…
In this paper, we study the Fitting ideals of Selmer groups over finite subextensions in the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Especially, we present a proof of the "weak main…
In this paper, we give a classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-pq$ for distinct primes $q>p\geq 5$. This together with previous classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-2p,-3p$ and $-p^2$ completes the…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = p(x)$ defined over a number field $K$ with $p(x)$ integral of odd degree. The purpose of the present article is to prove lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer group of the Jacobian of…
The modular degree m_E of an elliptic curve E/Q is the minimal degree of any surjective morphism X_0(N) -> E, where N is the conductor of E. We give a necessarily set of criteria for m_E to be odd. Specializing to N prime our results imply…
Let $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=p$ be a prime number and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with $j(E) \in \mathbb{Q}$. We determine the all possibilities for $E(K)_{tors}$. We obtain these results by studying Galois representations of $E$ and of it's…
It is well-known that every elliptic curve over the rationals admits a parametrization by means of modular functions. In this short note, we show that only finitely many elliptic curves over $\mathbf{Q}$ can be parametrized by modular…
Given an elliptic curve E over a field of positive characteristic p, we consider how to efficiently determine whether E is ordinary or supersingular. We analyze the complexity of several existing algorithms and then present a new approach…
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…
Determinants with Legendre symbol entries have close relations with character sums and elliptic curves over finite fields. In recent years, Sun, Krachun and his cooperators studied this topic. In this paper, we confirm some conjectures…
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $E/\mathbb{Q}$ an elliptic curves with complex multiplication by $\mathcal{O}_K$. Let $K_\infty/K$ be the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$ and $K_n$ the intermediate layers. Under…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth curve $B$ over a finite field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. We prove that the average size of the $2$-Selmer groups of elliptic curves $E/K$ is at most $1+2\zeta_B(2)\zeta_B(10)$, where $\zeta_B$…
