Let $P$ be an arbitrary point on an elliptic curve over the complex numbers of the form $y^2=x^3+a_4\,x+a_6$ or of the form $y^2=x^3+a_2\,x^2+a_4\,x$. We provide explicit formulae to compute the points $P/2$, i.e., the points $Q$ such that…

We prove local results on the $p$-adic density of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with different reduction types, together with global results on densities of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with specified reduction types at one or…

The curve joining the points of maximum height in the parabolas of ideal projectile motion is shown to be an ellipse. Some features of the motion are illustrated with the help of such ellipse.

We determine, for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ and for all $p$, all the possible torsion groups $E(\mathbb Q_{\infty, p})_{tors}$, where $\mathbb Q_{\infty, p}$ is the $\mathbb Z_p$-extension of $\mathbb Q$.

Consider a pair of ordinary elliptic curves $E$ and $E'$ defined over the same finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, i.e. $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)|=|E'(\mathbb{F}_q)|$. In this paper we…

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…

The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…

Ihara and Birch obtained a formula expressing the sum of powers of the traces of elliptic curves over a fixed finite field of characteristic $p$ in terms of the traces of Hecke operators for $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. Generalizing the…

The modular degree m_E of an elliptic curve E/Q is the minimal degree of any surjective morphism X_0(N) -> E, where N is the conductor of E. We give a necessarily set of criteria for m_E to be odd. Specializing to N prime our results imply…

We produce explicit elliptic curves over \Bbb F_p(t) whose Mordell-Weil groups have arbitrarily large rank. Our method is to prove the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for these curves (or rather the Tate conjecture for related…

Several problems which could be thought of as belonging to recreational mathematics are described. They are all such that solutions to the problem depend on finding rational points on elliptic curves. Many of the problems considered lead to…

An elliptic orbifold is the quotient of an elliptic curve by a finite group. Eskin and Okounkov proved that generating functions for the number of branched covers of an elliptic curve with specified ramification are quasimodular forms for…

Bachet elliptic curves are the curves y^2=x^3+a^3 and in this work the group structure E(F_{p}) of these curves over finite fields F_{p} is considered. It is shown that there are two possible structures E(F_{p}){\cong}C_{p+1} or…

A \emph{loop} $(B,\cdot)$ is a set $B$ together with a binary operation $\cdot$ such that (i) for each $a\in B$, the left and right translation mappings $L_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto a\cdot x$ and $R_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto x\cdot a$ are…

We introduce an elliptic avatar of loop spaces in derived algebraic geometry, completing the familiar trichotomoy of rational, trigonometric and elliptic objects. Heuristically, the elliptic loop space of $\mathcal{Y}$ is the stack of maps…

By a change of variables we obtain new $y$-coordinates of elliptic curves. Utilizing these $y$-coordinates as modular functions, together with the elliptic modular function, we generate the modular function fields of level $N\geq3$.…

We expose the elliptic quantum groups in the Drinfeld realization associated with both the affine Lie algebra \g and the toroidal algebra \g_tor. There the level-0 and level \not=0 representations appear in a unified way so that one can…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that any elliptic curve $E$ over an algebraically closed non-archimedean field $K$ with residue characteristic $\neq{2,3}$ and with $v(j(E))<0$ admits a tropicalization that contains a cycle of length…

We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+f(t)$, where $f\in k[t]$ has coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. By performing $2$ and $3$-descent, we obtain, under suitable…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals and in minimal Weierstrass form, and let $P=(x_1/z_1^2,y_1/z_1^3)$ be a rational point of infinite order on $E$, where $x_1,y_1,z_1$ are coprime integers. We show that the integer…
