We give several new constructions for moderate rank elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$. In particular we construct infinitely many rational elliptic surfaces (not in Weierstrass form) of rank 6 over $\mathbb{Q}$ using polynomials of…
Let $C$ be a $4$-cover of an elliptic curve $E$, written as a quadric intersection in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Let $E'$ be another elliptic curve with $4$-torsion isomorphic to that of $E$. We show how to write down the $4$-cover $C'$ of $E'$ with…
Let $\cC$ be a smooth absolutely irreducible curve of genus $g \ge 1$ defined over $\F_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $# \cC(\F_{q^n})$ be the number of $\F_{q^n}$-rational points on $\cC$. Under a certain multiplicative…
Let E/Q be an elliptic curve and let p be an odd supersingular prime for E. In this article, we study the simplest case of Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves, namely when E(Q) is finite, III(E/Q) has no p-torsion and the Tamagawa factors…
We find all elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ that have a rational point of order $N$, $N\ge 4$, and whose conductor is of the form $p^aq^b$, where p, q are two distinct primes, a, b are two positive integers. In particular, we…
For any number field K with a complex place, we present an infinite family of elliptic curves defined over K such that $dim \mathbb{F}_2 Sel_2(E^F/K) \ge dim \mathbb{F}_2 E^F(K)[2] + r_2$ for every quadratic twist E^F of every curve E in…
Given a pair of elliptic curves $E_1,E_2$ over a field $k$, we have a natural map $\text{CH}^1(E_1)_0\otimes\text{CH}^1(E_2)_0\to\text{CH}^2(E_1\times E_2)$, and a conjecture due to Beilinson predicts that the image of this map is finite…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we classify all groups that can arise as $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p))_{\text{tors}}$ up to isomorphism for any prime $p$. When $p - 1$ is not divisible by small integers…
Watkins's conjecture suggests that for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, the rank of the group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ of rational points is bounded above by $\nu_2 (m_E)$, where $m_E$ is the modular degree associated with $E$. It is known that…
Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $\Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $\Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$…
If an integer $n$ is written as a sum of two biquadrates in two different ways, then the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-nx$ has rank $\geq 3$. If moreover $n$ is odd and the parity conjecture is true, then it has even rank $\geq 4$. Finally, some…
Let $E_n$ be the congruent number elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-n^2x$, where $n$ is square-free and not divisible by primes $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$. In this paper, we prove that $L(E_n,1)$ can be expressed as the square of CM values of some simple…
Let $ p $ be a prime lager than 3. Let $k$ be a number field, which does not contain the subfield of $\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_{p^2})$ of degree $p$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that…
We study the elliptic curve $E_a: (ax+1)y^2+(ax+1)(x-1)y+x^2-x=0$, which we call the geometric normal form of an elliptic curve. We show that any elliptic curve whose $j$-invariant is real is isomorphic to a curve $E_a$ in geometric normal…
Elliptic divisibility sequences (EDSs) are generalizations of a class of integer divisibility sequences called Lucas sequences. There has been much interest in cases where the terms of Lucas sequences are squares or cubes. In this work,…
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…
Given two semistable, non potentially isotrivial elliptic surfaces over a curve $C$ defined over a field of characteristic zero or finitely generated over its prime field, we show that any compatible family of effective isometries of the…
A genus 2 curve $C$ has an elliptic subcover if there exists a degree $n$ maximal covering $\psi: C \to E$ to an elliptic curve $E$. Degree $n$ elliptic subcovers occur in pairs $(E, E')$. The Jacobian $J_C$ of $C$ is isogenous of degree…
We study the space of non-simple polarised abelian surfaces. Specifically, we describe for which pairs $(m,n)$ the locus of polarised abelian surfaces of type $(1,d)$ that contain two complementary elliptic curve of exponents $m,n$, denoted…
Consider the family of elliptic curves $E_n:y^2=x^3+n^2$, where $n$ varies over positive cubefree integers. There is a rational $3$-isogeny $\phi$ from $E_n$ to $\hat{E}_n:y^2=x^3-27n^2$ and a dual isogeny $\hat{\phi}:\hat{E}_n\rightarrow…
