Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a CM elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, with Weiestrass form $y^3=x^3+bx$ or $y^2=x^3+c$. For every positive integer $m$, we denote by ${\mathcal{E}}[m]$ the $m$-torsion subgroup of ${\mathcal{E}}$ and by…
Given a prime power q, for every pair of positive integers m and n with m dividing the GCD of n and q-1, we construct a modular curve over F_q that parametrizes elliptic curves over F_q along with F_q-defined points P and Q of order m and…
Consider a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. After extending $K$ we can view it as a marked curve with its $2g+2$ Weierstrass points. We present an explicit algorithm to compute the stable reduction…
The second generalized GK maximal curves $\mathcal{GK}_{2,n}$ are maximal curves over finite fields with $q^{2n}$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n \geq 3$ an odd integer, constructed by Beelen and Montanucci. In this paper we…
In this paper, for an elliptic curve $E$ defined over the algebraic numbers and for any subfield $F$ of algebraic numbers, we say that $E$ has the Northcott property over $F$ if there are at most finitely many $F$-rational points on $E$ of…
An isogeny class of elliptic curves over a finite field is determined by a quadratic Weil polynomial. Gekeler has given a product formula, in terms of congruence considerations involving that polynomial, for the size of such an isogeny…
We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic…
Let O_K be a discrete valuation ring with field of fractions K and perfect residue field. Let E be an elliptic curve over K, let L/K be a finite Galois extension and let O_L be the integral closure of O_K in L. Denote by X' the minimal…
To determine the global root number of an elliptic curve defined over a number field, one needs to understand all the local root numbers. These have been classified except at places above 2, and in this paper we attempt to complete the…
For a given elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rationals, we study the density of primes $p$ satisfying $\mathrm{gcd}(\#E(\mathbb{F}_p),p-1)=1$ and give a conjectural value for this density with strong heuristic evidence for most elliptic…
We find a new class of algebraic geometric solutions of Heun's equation with the accessory parameter belonging to a hyperelliptic curve. Dependence of these solutions from the accessory parameter as well as their relation to Heun's…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a finite Abelian group $G$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the group of points modulo $p$ is isomorphic to $G$. Under a certain conjecture concerning the distribution…
The value distribution of derivatives of characteristic polynomials of matrices from SO(N) is calculated at the point 1, the symmetry point on the unit circle of the eigenvalues of these matrices. We consider subsets of matrices from SO(N)…
We consider a pointed curve $(X,P)$ which is given by the Weierstrass normal form, $y^r + A_{1}(x) y^{r-1} + A_{2}(x) y^{r-2} +\cdots + A_{r-1}(x) y + A_{r}(x)$ where $x$ is an affine coordinate on $\mathbb{P}^1$, the point $\infty$ on $X$…
In this paper we consider elliptic divisibility sequences generated by a point on an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $j$-invariant $1728$ given by an integral short Weierstrass equation. For several different such elliptic…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ described by $y^2= x^3+ Kx+ L$ where $K, L \in \mathbb{Q}$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i) \in E(\mathbb{Q})$ for $i=1, 2, \cdots, k$, is said to be a sequence of consecutive cubes on $E$…
We use rational parametrizations of certain cubic surfaces and an explicit formula for descent via 3-isogeny to construct the first examples of elliptic curves E_k: x^3 + y^3 = k of ranks 8, 9, 10, and 11 over Q. As a corollary we produce…
We define the concept of Tschirnhaus-Weierstrass curve, named after the Weierstrass form of an elliptic curve and Tschirnhaus transformations. Every pointed curve has a Tschirnhaus-Weierstrass form, and this representation is unique up to a…
We first normalize the derivative Weierstrass $\wp'$-function appearing in Weierstrass equations which give rise to analytic parametrizations of elliptic curves by the Dedekind $\eta$-function. And, by making use of this normalization of…
