Let $K$ be a number field, $\bar{K}$ an algebraic closure of $K$ and $E/K$ an elliptic curve defined over $K$. In this paper, we prove that if $E/K$ has a $K$-rational point $P$ such that $2P\neq O$ and $3P\neq O$, then for each $\sigma\in…

Given a rational elliptic surface over a number field, we study the collection of fibers whose Mordell--Weil rank is greater than the generic rank. We give conditions on the singular fibers to assure that the collection of fibers for which…

We introduce the use of $p$-descent techniques for elliptic surfaces over a perfect field of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. Under mild hypotheses, we obtain an upper bound for the rank of a non-constant elliptic surface. When $p=2$, this…

For modular elliptic curves over number fields of narrow class number one, and with multiplicative reduction at a collection of p-adic primes, we define new p-adic invariants. Inspired by Nekovar and Scholl's plectic conjectures, we believe…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ which has multiplicative reduction at a fixed prime $p$. For each positive integer $n$ we put $K_n:=\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n])$. The aim of this paper is to extend the author's previous our results…

In this paper we present a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, that is tight if the length of the cycle is a multiple of five. This bound improves the natural lower bound obtained by using…

Given an elliptic surface over a number field, we study the collection of fibres whose Mordell-Weil rank is greater than the generic rank. Under suitable assumptions, we show that this collection is not thin. Our results apply to quadratic…

We prove inequalities that compare the size of an S-regulator with a product of heights of multiplicatively independent S-units. Our upper bound for the S-regulator follows from a general upper bound for the determinant of a real matrix…

A {\it 2-rainbow domination function} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set $\{1,2\}$, such that for any $v\in V(G)$, $f(v)=\emptyset$ implies $\bigcup_{u\in N(v)}f(u)=\{1,2\}$. The…

We show that no arithmetic invariant strictly smaller than the conductor of an elliptic curve over \( \mathbb{Q} \) can appear in a functional equation governing the analytic continuation of an associated \( L \)-function of degree two. In…

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…

The product power throttling number of a graph is defined to study product throttling for power domination. The domination number of a graph is an upper bound for its product power throttling number. It is established that the two…

Let $p, q$ be twin prime numbers with $q-p=2$ . Consider the elliptic curves E=E_\sigma: y^2 = x (x+\sigma p)(x+\sigma q) . (\sigma =\pm 1). E=E_\sigma is also denoted as E_+ or E_- when \sigma = +1or $-1.Here the Mordell-Weil group and the…

It follows from the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula that the rank of an abelian variety (with trivial trace) defined over the function field of a curve is bounded by a quantity which depends on the genus of the base curve and on bad…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

Let k be a global field, $\bar{k}$ a separable closure of k, and $G_k$ the absolute Galois group $\Gal(\bar{k}/k)$ of $\bar{k}$ over k. For every g in $G_k$, let $\bar{k}^g$ be the fixed subfield of $\bar{k}$ under g. Let E/k be an elliptic…

Let $\mathbb{F}_r$ be a finite field of characteristic $p>3$. For any power $q$ of $p$, consider the elliptic curve $E=E_{q,r}$ defined by $y^2=x^3 + t^q -t$ over $K=\mathbb{F}_r(t)$. We describe several arithmetic invariants of $E$ such as…

We present a heuristic that suggests that ranks of elliptic curves over the rationals are bounded. In fact, it suggests that there are only finitely many elliptic curves of rank greater than 21. Our heuristic is based on modeling the ranks…

The upper and lower Nordhaus-Gaddum bounds over all graphs for the power domination number follow from known bounds on the domination number and examples. In this note we improve the upper sum bound for the power domination number…
