This master thesis describes how Selmer groups can be used to determine the Mordell-Weil group of elliptic curves over a number field K. The Mordell-Weil Theorem states that $E(K) = E(K)_{tors} \times Z^r$, where $r$ is the rank of $E$, and…

We compare the asymptotic grows of the number of rational points on modular varieties of D-elliptic sheaves over finite fields to the grows of their Betti numbers as the degree of the level tends to infinity. This is a generalization to…

It is shown that rational points over finite fields of moduli spaces of stable quiver representations are counted by polynomials with integer coefficients. These polynomials are constructed recursively using an identity in the Hall algebra…

We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…

We consider a class of tautological top intersection products on the moduli space of stable pairs consisting of semistable vector bundles together with N sections on a smooth complex projective curve C. We show that when N is large, these…

We establish asymptotic lower bounds for the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with prescribed entanglement of division fields, ordered by naive height. Such elliptic curves are obtained as $1$-parameter families arising from…

We establish the sharp estimate <<_d N^{2/d} for the number of rational points of height at most N on an irreducible projective curve of degree d. We deduce this from a result for general hypersurfaces that is sensitive to the coefficients…

In this note, we study the fluctuations in the number of points of smooth projective plane curves over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ as $q$ is fixed and the genus varies. More precisely, we show that these fluctuations are predicted by a…

Let $p$ be a prime. We study non-constant morphisms $f:X_0(p)_\mathbb \to Y$, where $Y/\mathbb Q$ is a curve of genus $\geq 2$. We prove that for $p<3000$ such an $f$ of degree $d>1$ must be isomorphic to the quotient map $X_0(p)\to…

An isogeny class of elliptic curves over a finite field is determined by a quadratic Weil polynomial. Gekeler has given a product formula, in terms of congruence considerations involving that polynomial, for the size of such an isogeny…

We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the $x$-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field $k$. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a projective irreducible nonsingular algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. This paper presents a variation of the St\"orh-Voloch theory and sets new bounds to the number of…

In this article, we determine all intermediate modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.

The modular curve X_0(N) parametrizes elliptic curves together with a cyclic subgroup of order N, and hence cyclic N-isogenies. While explicit moduli descriptions of X_1(N) are well developed, a comparable construction for X_0(N) has…

In this article, we study how to compute the number of $K$-rational points with a given $j$-invariant on an arbitrary modular curve. As an application, for each positive integer $n$, we determine the list of possible numbers of cyclic…

We count certain abelian surfaces with potential quaternionic multiplication defined over a number field $K$ by counting points of bounded height on some genus zero Shimura curves.

Let $E_{m,n}$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the form $y^2=x^3-m^2x+n^2$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Brown and Myers showed that the curve $E_{1,n}$ has rank at least two for all $n$. In the present paper, we…

We generalize Elkies's method, an essential ingredient in the SEA algorithm to count points on elliptic curves over finite fields of large characteristic, to the setting of p.p. abelian surfaces. Under reasonable assumptions related to the…

Let $X$ be a smooth cubic hypersurface of dimension $n \ge 1$ over the rationals. It is well-known that new rational points may be obtained from old ones by secant and tangent constructions. In view of the Mordell--Weil theorem for $n=1$,…
