We study a subclass of congruent elliptic curves $E^{(n)}: y^2=x^3-n^2x$, where $n$ is a positive integer congruent to $1\pmod 8$ with all prime factors congruent to $1\pmod 4$. We characterize such $E^{(n)}$ with Mordell-Weil rank zero and…

The Shafarevich-Tate group $W (\mathscr{A})$ measures the failure of the Hasse principle for an abelian variety $\mathscr{A}$. Using a correspondence between the abelian varieties and the higher dimensional non-commutative tori, we prove…

We study the distribution of a subclass congruent elliptic curve $E^{(n)}: y^2=x^3-n^2x$, where $n$ is congruent to $1\pmod 8$ with all prime factors congruent to $1\pmod 4$. We prove an independence of residue symbol property. Consequently…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Q$ without complex multiplication, and which is not isogenous to a curve with non-trivial rational torsion. For each prime $p$ of good reduction, let $|E(\F_p)|$ be the order of the group of points of the…

The paper formulates a precise relationship between the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve $E$ over ${\mathbb Q}$ with a quotient of the classgroup of ${\mathbb Q}(E[p])$ on which $Gal({\mathbb Q}(E[p]/{\mathbb Q}) = GL_2({\mathbb…
