We give an asymptotic formula for the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with bounded Faltings height. Silverman has shown that the Faltings height for elliptic curves over number fields can be expressed in terms of modular…

The main goal of this paper is to determine for which prime numbers $r\geq 3$ can an elliptic curve~$E$ defined over $\mathbb Q$ have an $r$-isogeny over $\mathbb Q(\zeta_r)$. We study this question under various assumptions on the…

We study generalisations to totally real fields of methods originating with Wiles and Taylor-Wiles. In view of the results of Skinner-Wiles on elliptic curves with ordinary reduction, we focus here on the case of supersingular reduction.…

An elliptic orbifold is the quotient of an elliptic curve by a finite group. In 2001, Eskin and Okounkov proved that generating functions for the number of branched covers of an elliptic curve with specified ramification are quasimodular…

Let F be the cyclotomic field of fifth roots of unity. We computationally investigate modularity of elliptic curves over F.

We consider algebraic surfaces, recently constructed by Schreieder, that are smooth models of the quotient of the self-product of a complex hyperelliptic curve by a $(\mathbb{Z}/3^c\mathbb{Z})$-action. We show that these surfaces are…

We find new examples of complex surfaces with countably many non-isomorphic algebraic structures. Here is one such example: take an elliptic curve $E$ in $\mathbb P^2$ and blow up nine general points on $E$. Then the complement $M$ of the…

In their paper Livn\'e and Yui (math.AG/0304497) discuss several examples of non-rigid Calabi-Yau varieties which admit semi-stable K3-fibrations with 6 singular fibres over a base which is a rational modular curve. They also establish the…

I compute explicitly the regulator map on $K_4(X)$ for an arbitrary curve $X$ over a number field. Using this and Beilinson's theorem about regulators for modular curves ([B2]) I prove a formula expressing the value of the $L$-function…

Elliptic curves play a natural and important role in elliptic cohomology. In earlier work with I. Kriz, thes elliptic curves were interpreted physically in two ways: as corresponding to the intersection of M2 and M5 in the context of (the…

We show that the moduli space of $U\oplus \langle -2k \rangle$-polarized K3 surfaces is unirational for $k \le 50$ and $k \notin \{11,35,42,48\}$, and for other several values of $k$ up to $k=97$. Our proof is based on a systematic study of…

In this article we present a characterization of elliptic curves defined over a finite field Fq which possess a rational subgroup of order three. There are two posible cases depending on the rationality of the points in these groups. We…

We prove that any non-isotrivial elliptic K3 surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic contains infinitely many rational curves. In the case when $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, we prove this result for any…

We study threefolds fibred by Kummer surfaces associated to products of elliptic curves, that arise as resolved quotients of threefolds fibred by certain lattice polarized K3 surfaces under a fibrewise Nikulin involution. We present a…

We describe the birational correspondences, induced by the Fourier-Mukai functor, between moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on elliptic surfaces with sections, using the notion of $P$-stability in the derived category. We give explicit…

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 prove rationality results for moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces and elliptic rational surfaces with fixed monodromy groups.

Let $X$ be a K3 surface, and $H$ its primitive polarization of the degree $H^2=2rs$, $r,s\ge 1$. The moduli space of sheaves over $X$ with the isotropic Mukai vector $(r,H,s)$ is again a K3 surface, $Y$. In math.AG/0206158, math.AG/0304415…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we study the finite extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on $E$ attains the Hasse upper bound. We obtain an…
