In this paper, we study the signed domination numbers of graphs and present new sharp lower and upper bounds for this parameter. As an example, we present a lower bound on signed domination number of trees in terms of the order, leaves and…

For each $t\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{-1,0,1\}$, define an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ by \begin{align*} E_t:y^2=x(x+1)(x+t^2). \end{align*} Using a formula for the root number $W(E_t)$ as a function of $t$ and assuming some standard…

Given an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$, we study the algebraic structure and prove a control theorem for Wuthrich's fine Mordell--Weil groups over a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F$, generalizing results of Lee on the usual…

Motivated by problems in algebraic complexity theory (e.g., matrix multiplication) and extremal combinatorics (e.g., the cap set problem and the sunflower problem), we introduce the geometric rank as a new tool in the study of tensors and…

In this short note, we shall construct a certain topological family which contains all elliptic curves over Q and, as an application, show that this family provides some geometric interpretations of the Hasse-Weil L-function of an elliptic…

We discuss the distribution of Mordell--Weil ranks of the family of elliptic curves $y^2=(x+\alpha f^2)(x+\beta b g^2)(x+\gamma h^2)$ where $f,g,h$ are coprime polynomials that parametrize the projective smooth conic $a^2+b^2=c^2$ and…

The bondage number b(G) of a graph G is the smallest number of edges of G whose removal from G results in a graph having the domination number larger than that of G. We show that, for a graph G having the maximum vertex degree $\Delta(G)$…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A restrained dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $S$ with the additional restraint that the graph $G…

We improve Kolyvagin's upper bound on the order of the $p$-primary part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve of rank one over a quadratic imaginary field. In many cases, our bound is precisely the one predicted by the Birch…

For a non-constant elliptic surface over $\mathbb{P}^1$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, it is a result of Silverman that the Mordell--Weil rank of the fibres is at least the rank of the group of sections, up to finitely many fibres. If the…

Bhargava and Shankar prove that as E varies over all elliptic curves over Q, the average rank of the finitely generated abelian group E(Q) is bounded. This result follows from an exact formula for the average size of the 2-Selmer group,…

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 develop geometry-of-numbers methods to count orbits in coregular vector spaces having bounded invariants over any global field. We apply these techniques to bound the average ranks and determine average Selmer group sizes of elliptic…

14H52 : Elliptic curves Let E be the elliptic curve given by a Mordell equation y^2=x^3-A where A is an integer. For certain A, we use Stoll's formula to compute a lower bound for the proportion of square-free integers D up to X such that…

The Mordell-Weil groups $E(\mathbb{Q})$ of elliptic curves influence the structures of their quadratic twists $E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q})$ and the ideal class groups $\mathrm{CL}(-D)$ of imaginary quadratic fields. For appropriate $(u,v) \in…

The regulator theorem states that, under certain conditions, any optimal controller must embody a model of the system it regulates, grounding the idea that controllers embed, explicitly or implicitly, internal models of the controlled. This…

Fix an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $F$ and an integer $n$ which is a power of $3$. We study the growth of the Mordell--Weil rank of $E$ after base change to the fields $K_d = F(\sqrt[2n]{d})$. If $E$ admits a $3$-isogeny, then we…

Let $E$ be an elliptic surface over the curve $C$, defined over a number field $k$, let $P$ be a section of $E$, and let $\ell$ be a rational prime. For any non-singular fibre $E_t$, we bound the number of points $Q$ on $E_t$ of (algebraic)…

Power domination is a two-step observation process that is used to monitor power networks and can be viewed as a combination of domination and zero forcing. Given a graph $G$, a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ that can observe all vertices of $G$…

Let $E/\bbq$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\bbq$ with conductor $N$ and $\gq$ the absolute Galois group of an algebraic closure $\bar{\bbq}$ of $\bbq$. We prove that for every $\sigma\in \gq$, the Mordell-Weil group $E(\oqs)$ of $E$…
