We introduce and motivate a conjecture about the existence of complete, 1-dimensional families of covers of an elliptic curve. If the conjecture holds, then it would imply a uniform lower bound of 5 for slope of the moduli space of curves.…

We study the random Fibonacci tree, which is an infinite binary tree with non-negative integers at each node. The root consists of the number 1 with a single child, also the number 1. We define the tree recursively in the following way: if…

We specify a class of graphs, $H_t$, and characterize the irreducible decomposition of all powers of the cover ideals. This gives insight into the structure and stabilization of the corresponding associated primes; specifically, providing…

In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has twists of arbitrary 2-Selmer rank, and we give…

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…

This article presents a comprehensive data-scientific investigation into the arithmetic statistics of congruent number elliptic curves, leveraging a dataset of square-free integers up to $3$ million. We analyze the Mordell-Weil ranks,…

Here we prove classification results announced in Part I (alg-geom/9711032). We classify maximal hyperbolic root systems of the rank 3 having restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice Weyl vector $\rho$ with $\rho^2\ge 0$ (i.e.…

Following Katz-Sarnak, Iwaniec-Luo-Sarnak, and Rubinstein, we use the 1- and 2-level densities to study the distribution of low lying zeros for one-parameter rational families of elliptic curves over Q(t). Modulo standard conjectures, for…

For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…

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 classify the types of root systems $R$ in the rings of integers of number fields $K$ such that the Weyl group $W(R)$ lies in the group $\mathcal L(K)$ generated by ${\rm Aut} (K)$ and multiplications by the elements of $K^*$. We also…

For any complex K3 surface $X$, we construct a one-dimensional deformation in which all integers $\rho$ with $0 \leq \rho \leq 20$ occur as Picard numbers of some fibres. In contrast, we prove that the generic one-dimensional local family…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

We study discrete-time random dynamical systems where each fibre map is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that the existence of a random periodic cycle with period at least two implies that the random rotation…

Some cubic polynomials over the integers have three distinct real roots with continued fractions that all have the same common tail. We characterize the polynomials for which this happens, and then investigate the situation for other…

We describe the multiplicative invariant algebras of the root lattices of all irreducible root systems under the action of the Weyl group. In each case, a finite system of fundamental invariants is determined and the class group of the…

We raise a question on the existence of continuous roots of families of monic polynomials (by the root of a family of polynomials we mean a function of the coefficients of polynomials of a given family that maps each tuple of coefficients…

An attempt to come closer to a resolution of the Collatz conjecture is presented. The central idea is the formation of a tree consisting of positive odd numbers with number 1 as root. Functions for generating the tree from the root are…

We identify a structural pattern in the construction of known infinite families of trees whose independence polynomials are not log-concave. Using this pattern and properties of polynomial ring ideals, we derive linear recurrences for these…

We conjecture that, for a fixed prime $p$, rational elliptic curves with higher rank tend to have more points mod $p$. We show that there is an analogous bias for modular forms with respect to root numbers, and conjecture that the order of…
