For any quadratic extension $L/K$ of number fields, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E$ over $K$ so that the abelian groups $E(K)$ and $E(L)$ both have rank $1$. In particular, there are infinitely many elliptic…
We give a proof of a soft version of the $p$-converse to a theorem of Gross--Zagier and Kolyvagin for non-CM elliptic curves with good ordinary reduction at $p >3$ under the irreducibility assumption on the residual representation. In…
Let $\mathbb{Q}_\infty$ be the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension over $\mathbb{Q}$. For each integer $n\geq1$, let $\mathbb{Q}_n$ denote the unique subfield in $\mathbb{Q}_\infty$ such that $[\mathbb{Q}_\infty:\mathbb{Q}]=2^n$. Denote by…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with positive rank over a number field $K$ and let $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $K_{cyc}$ be the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$ and $K_n$ denote its $n$-th layer. The Mordell--Weil rank of $E$ is…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with good reduction at a fixed odd prime $p$ and $K$ an imaginary quadratic field where $p$ splits. We give a growth estimate for the Mordell-Weil rank of $E$ over finite extensions inside the…
In this paper, we study the theories of analytic and arithmetic local constants of elliptic curves, with the work of Rohrlich, for the former, and the work of Mazur and Rubin, for the latter, as a basis. With the Parity Conjecture as…
We investigate the regulators of elliptic curves with rank 1 in some families of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve. In particular, we formulate some conjectures on the average size of these regulators. We also describe an efficient…
We show that elliptic curves whose Mordell-Weil groups are finitely generated over some infinite extensions of $\Q$, can be used to show the Diophantine undecidability of the rings of integers and bigger rings contained in some infinite…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of odd characteristic $p$. We exhibit elliptic curves over the rational function field $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ whose Tate-Shafarevich groups are large. More precisely, we consider certain infinite…
We show that if F is the rational numbers or a multiquadratic number field, p is 2,3, or 5, and K/F is a Galois extension of degree a power of p, then for elliptic curves E/Q ordered by height, the average dimension of the p-Selmer groups…
We study the average rank of elliptic curves $E_{A,B} : y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, ordered by the height function $h(E_{A,B}) := \text{max}(|A|, |B|)$. Understanding this average rank requires estimating the number of…
We consider all \emph{odd} fundamental discriminants $D \equiv 2 \bmod 3$ and their mirror discriminants $D' = -3D$, and we study the family of elliptic curves $E_{D'}: y^{2} = x^{3} + 16D'$. We denote by $r_{3}(D)$ and $r_{3}(D')$ the rank…
We present an heuristic argument for the prediction of expected Mordell-Weil rank of elliptic curves over number fields, using Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer's original conjecture and Sato-Tate conjectures. We do calculations in some cases and…
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…
By the Mordell-Weil theorem the group of Q(z)-rational points of an elliptic curve is finitely generated. It is not known whether the rank of this group can get arbitrary large as the curve varies. Mestre and Nagao have constructed examples…
We study the family of elliptic curves $y^2=x(x-a^2)(x-b^2)$ parametrized by Pythagorean triples $(a,b,c)$. We prove that for a generic triple the lower bound of the rank of the Mordell-Weil group over $\mathbb{Q}$ is 1, and for some…
Under a hypothesis which is slightly stronger than the Riemann Hypothesis for elliptic curve $L$-functions, we show that both the average analytic rank and the average algebraic rank of elliptic curves in families of quadratic twists are…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rational field $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $K$ be a quadratic extension over $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $\mathrm{ST}(E/K)$ dente the Shafarevich-Tate group of $E$ over $K$. We show that (under mild conditions on $E$) for…
While there has been considerable interest in the problem of finding elliptic curves of high rank over $\mathbb{Q}$, very few parametrized families of elliptic curves of generic rank $\geq 8$ have been published. In this paper we use…
The second part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture gives a conjectural formula for the order of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve in terms of other computable invariants of the curve. Cremona and Mazur initiated…
