This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods we describe are practical in the case n=3 for…

This article represents our attempt to improve the previous results on defining and understanding overconvergent Eichler-Shimura maps for overconvergent modular symbols (in the elliptic case).

In this article, we classify the characters associated to algebraic points on Shimura curves of $\Gamma_0(p)$-type, and over a quadratic field we show that there are at most elliptic points on such a Shimura curve for every sufficiently…

We present computational algorithms to work with points on the modular curve associated to the normaliser of a non-split Cartan group of prime level $p$. Rather than working with explicit equations, we represent these points using the…

This paper gives a conjectural characterization of those elliptic curves over the field of complex numbers which "should" be covered by standard modular curves. The elliptic curves in question all have algebraic j-invariant, so they can be…

We prove, under suitable assumptions, that $p$-torsion Tate-Shafarevich classes for elliptic curves over the rationals are visible in quotients of Jacobians of modular curves, as predicted by a conjecture of Jetchev-Stein. The key…

We develop a variant of Coleman and Perrin Riou's methods giving, for a de Rham $p$-adic Galois representation, a construction of $p$-adic $L$ functions from a compatible system of global elements. As a result, we construct analytic…

Let us consider a $p$-adic Lie extension of a number field $K$ which fits into the setting of non-commutative Iwasawa theory formulated by Coates-Fukaya-Kato-Sujatha-Venjakob. For the first main result, we will prove the control theorem of…

For an odd prime $p$ and a supersingular elliptic curve over a number field, this article introduces a fine signed residual Selmer group, under certain hypotheses on the base field. This group depends purely on the residual representation…

We study the elliptic modular surface attached to the commutator subgroup of the modular group. This has an elliptic curve as base and only one singular fibre. We employ an algebraic approach and then consider some arithmetic questions.

For certain families of elliptic curves admitting a rational isogeny of prime degree $\ell$, we establish a central limit theorem for the Tamagawa ratio and derive bounds on its average value. By using the Tamagawa ratio to bound the size…

This paper is a sequel to our earlier paper "Wach modules and Iwasawa theory for modular forms" (arXiv: 0912.1263), where we defined a family of Coleman maps for a crystalline representation of the Galois group of Qp with nonnegative…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with $j$-invariant $0$ or $1728$ and let $\widetilde{E}$ be a $k^{th}$ twist of $E$. We show that for any prime $p$ of good reduction of $\widetilde{E}$, a degree $k$ relative $p$-class group and the root number…

Let $f$ be an elliptic modular form and $p$ an odd prime that is coprime to the level of $f$. We study the link between divisors of the characteristic ideal of the $p$-primary fine Selmer group of $f$ over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$…

We determine the rational divisor class group of the moduli spaces of smooth pointed hyperelliptic curves and of their Deligne-Mumford compactification, over the field of complex numbers.

Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that E is a modular elliptic curve/Q with good ordinary reduction at p. Let Q_{oo} denote the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of Q. It is conjectured that Sel_E(Q_{oo}) is a cotorsion Lambda-module and that its…

We define a moduli space of rational curves with finite-order automorphism and weighted orbits, and we prove that the combinatorics of its boundary strata are encoded by a particular polytopal complex that also captures the algebraic…

We determine all modular curves X(N) (with $N\geq 7$) which are hyperelliptic or bielliptic. We make available a proof that the automorphism group of X(N) coincides with the normalizer of $\Gamma(N)$ in $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$.

Let $M$ and $N$ be positive integers for which the modular curve $X_1(M,MN)$ has genus $0$, and let $p$ be a prime divisor of $MN$. This article gives asymptotic lower bounds for the average size of the $p$-Selmer group of elliptic curves…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F'$ such that $E$ has semistable reduction at every prime of $F'$ above $p$ and is supersingular at at least one prime above $p$. Under…
