Some geometry on non-singular cubic curves, mainly over finite fields, is surveyed. Such a curve has 9,3,1 or 0 points of inflexion, and cubic curves are classified accordingly. The group structure and the possible numbers of rational…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…

We describe methods to determine all the possible torsion groups of an elliptic curve that actually appear over a fixed quadratic field. We use these methods to find, for each group that can appear over a quadratic field, the field with the…

We determine all the possible torsion groups of elliptic curves over cyclic cubic fields, over non-cyclic totally real cubic fields and over complex cubic fields.

We show that for an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K, the group E(A) of points of E over the adele ring A of K is a topological group that can be analyzed in terms of the Galois representation associated to the torsion points…

It is well-known that if $E$ is an elliptic curve over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $E(\mathbb{F}_p)\simeq\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/mk\mathbb{Z}$ for some positive integers $m, k$. Let $S(M,K)$ denote the set of pairs…

We start by introducing the basics of configurations of points and lines, and then move into discussing symmetry groups of these configurations. Specifically, we explore how we might classify the symmetries of $(9_3)$ and $(10_3)$ geometric…

We prove formulas for power moments for point counts of elliptic curves over a finite field $k$ such that the groups of $k$-points of the curves contain a chosen subgroup. These formulas express the moments in terms of traces of Hecke…

We revisit the group structure on elliptic curves and give a simple and elementary proof of the associativity of the addition. We do this by providing an explicit formula for the sum of three points, only using the explicit definition of…

There are many situations in geometry and group theory where it is natural, convenient or necessary to explore infinite groups via their actions on finite objects, i.e. via the finite quotients of the group. But how much understanding can…

Elliptic curves are planar curves which can be used to define an abelian group. The efficient computation of discrete logarithms over this group is a longstanding problem relevant to cryptography. It may be possible to efficiently compute…
