Generating primes is a fundamental problem in modern cryptography. Deterministic primality tests work well for special integers such as Mersenne or Proth primes, but these forms are quite restrictive. In this paper, we give a direct method…

We determine all modular curves $X_0^+(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.

We prove an analogue of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on the asymptotic distribution of prime constellations in the setting of short intervals in function fields of smooth projective curves over finite fields.

In this paper, we prove a theorem on the distribution of primes in cubic progressions on average.

We propose a p-adic version of Duke's Theorem on the equidistribution of closed geodesics on modular curves. Our approach concerns quadratic fields split at p as well as a p-adic covering of the modular curve. We also prove an…

Let F be a finite field and let b and N be integers. We prove explicit estimates for the probability that the number of rational points on a randomly chosen elliptic curve E over F equals b modulo N. The underlying tool is an…

We prove an analogue of a result by Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim for small gaps between primes that split completely in an abelian number field. We prove both a conditional result assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, and an…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over rational field $\mathbb{Q}$ and $N$ be a positive integer. Now, $M_E(N)$ denotes the number of primes $p$, such that the group $E_p(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is of order $N$. We show that $M_E(N)$ follows…

We investigate some aspects of the $m$-division field $K({\mathcal{E}}[m])$, where $\mathcal{E}$ is an elliptic curve defined over a field $K$ with ${\textrm{char}}(K)\neq 2,3$ and $m$ is a positive integer. When $m=p^r$, with $p\geq 5$ a…

Answering a question of Zureick-Brown, we determine the cubic points on the modular curves $X_0(N)$ for $N \in \{53,57,61,65,67,73\}$ as well as the quartic points on $X_0(65)$. To do so, we develop a "partially relative" symmetric Chabauty…

We discuss rather systematically the principle, implicit in earlier works, that for a "random" element in an arithmetic subgroup of a (split, say) reductive algebraic group over a number field, the splitting field of the characteristic…

For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1) are constructed.

We study the real components of modular curves. Our main result is an abstract group-theoretic description of the real components of a modular curve defined by a congruence subgroup of level N in terms of the corresponding subgroup of…

Deciding whether or not two polynomials have isomoprhic splitting fields over the rationals is the Field Isomorphism Problem. We consider polynomials of the form $f_n(x) = x^4-nx^3-6x^2+nx+1$ with $n \neq 3$ a positive integer and we let…

In this work we generalize the concept of injective module and develop a theory of divisibility for modules over a general ring, which provides a general and unified framework to study Kummer-like field extensions arising from commutative…

For a fixed number field and an elliptic curve defined and semi-stable over this number field, we consider the set of prime numbers p such that the Galois representation attached to the p-torsion points of the elliptic curve is reducible.…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a positive integer $N$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$ possesses exactly $N$ points over $\mathbb F_p$. On average (over a family of…

An effective method of computing division polynomials in terms of Mumford coordinates is presented. As an example, division polynomials for $3$- and $4$-torsion divisors on a genus two curve are obtained explicitly in terms of Mumford…

For every $n\geq 3$, we exhibit infinitely many extremal effective divisors on the moduli space of genus one curves with $n$ marked points.

For $p$ prime and $\ell = \frac{p-1}{2}$, we show that the shapes of pure prime degree number fields lie on one of two $\ell$-dimensional subspaces of the space of shapes, and which of the two subspaces is dictated by whether or not $p$…
