Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. Let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $E(\mathbb Q)$ and $P\in E(\mathbb Q)$. In [1], it was proved that if $E$ has no nontrivial rational torsion points, then $P\in\Gamma$ if and only if $P\in…

We prove that there are only finitely many complex numbers $a$ and $b$ with $4a^3+27b^2\not=0$ such that the three points $(1,*),(2,*),$ and $(3,*)$ are simultaneously torsion on the elliptic curve defined in Weierstrass form by…

Suppose $p$ is a prime of the form $u^2+64$ for some integer $u$, which we take to be 3 mod 4. Then there are two Neumann--Setzer elliptic curves $E_0$ and $E_1$ of prime conductor $p$, and both have Mordell--Weil group $\Z/2\Z$. There is a…

In this paper, we consider elliptic curves induced by rational Diophantine quadruples, i.e. sets of four nonzero rationals such that the product of any two of them plus 1 is a perfect square. We show that for each of the groups…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rationals which does not have complex multiplication. Serre showed that the adelic representation attached to $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has open image, and in particular there is a minimal natural number $C_E$…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q, and let F be a finite abelian extension of Q. Using Beilinson's theorem on a suitable modular curve, we prove a weak version of Zagier's conjecture for L(E/F,2), where E/F is the base extension of E to F.

In the late 1990's, Bremner conjectured that long arithmetic progressions among the $x$-coordinates of rational points of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ should force the rank of $E$ to be large. This conjecture (and a broad…

Let $E$ be an optimal elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. The critical subgroup of $E$ is defined by Mazur and Swinnerton-Dyer as the subgroup of $E(\mathbb{Q})$ generated by traces of branch points under a modular parametrization of…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and $p > 2$ be a prime of good ordinary reduction for $E$. Assume that the residue representation associated with $(E, p)$ is irreducible. In this paper, we prove more cases on several Iwasawa main…

The well known open \v{C}ern\'y conjecture states that each \san with $n$ states has a \sw of length at most $(n-1)^2$. On the other hand, the best known upper bound is cubic of $n$. Recently, in the paper \cite{CARPI1} of Alessandro and…

We show that the Boundedness Height Conjecture is optimal; all varieties in a power of an elliptic curve which do not satisfy the hypothesis neither satisfy the thesis. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold for varieties in a power…

Mazur's isogeny theorem states that if $p$ is a prime for which there exists an elliptic curve $E / \mathbb{Q}$ that admits a rational isogeny of degree $p$, then $p \in \{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,37,43,67,163 \}$. This result is one of the…

We say that two elliptic curves $E$ and $F$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ are congruent modulo a prime $p$ if their $p$-torsion Galois modules (over the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{Q}$) are isomorphic. Such a congruence is called trivial if there is…

The main result of this paper is to extend from $\Q$ to each of the nine imaginary quadratic fields of class number one a result of Serre (1987) and Mestre-Oesterl\'e (1989), namely that if $E$ is an elliptic curve of prime conductor then…
