He, Lee, Oliver, and Pozdnyakov~\cite{HLOP} have empirically observed that the average of the $p$th coefficients of the $L$-functions of elliptic curves of particular ranks in a given range of conductors $N$ appears to approximate a…
"Murmurations" are a recently-discovered type of fine structure in sums of Dirichlet coefficients averaged over families of $L$-functions. The root cause of this phenomenon remains mysterious. In the present paper, we demonstrate how…
We devise heuristics using multiple Dirichlet series to predict asymptotic formulas for shifted moments of (1) the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor $\leq Q$, with $Q$ a parameter tending to…
We prove asymptotic formulas for cyclicity of reductions of elliptic curves over the rationals in a family of curves having specified torsion. These results agree with established conditional results and with average results taken over…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$. We conjecture asymptotic estimates for the number of vanishings of $L(E,1,\chi)$ as $\chi$ varies over all primitive Dirichlet characters of orders 4 and 6, subject to a mild hypothesis on…
The family of symmetric powers of an $L$-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from…
We consider heuristic predictions for small non-zero algebraic central values of twists of the $L$-function of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ by Dirichlet characters. We provide computational evidence for these predictions and…
The moments of the coefficients of elliptic curve L-functions are related to numerous arithmetic problems. Rosen and Silverman proved a conjecture of Nagao relating the first moment of one-parameter families satisfying Tate's conjecture to…
Elliptic curves arise in many important areas of modern number theory. One way to study them is take local data, the number of solutions modulo $p$, and create an $L$-function. The behavior of this global object is related to two of the…
We compute the first murmurations for elliptic curves over function fields F_q(t): oscillatory patterns in average Frobenius traces that separate rank-0 from rank-1 curves, with z-scores up to 256. For the family E_D: y^2 = x^3 + x + D(t)…
For a family of second-order elliptic systems in divergence form with rapidly oscillating almost-periodic coefficients, we obtain estimates for approximate correctors in terms of a function that quantifies the almost periodicity of the…
It is believed that, in the limit as the conductor tends to infinity, correlations between the zeros of elliptic curve $L$-functions averaged within families follow the distribution laws of the eigenvalues of random matrices drawn from the…
The Linear Independence hypothesis (LI), which states roughly that the imaginary parts of the critical zeros of Dirichlet L-functions are linearly independent over the rationals, is known to have interesting consequences in the study of…
We calculate the murmuration density for the family of Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic fields associated to non-trivial characters. This density exhibits a universality property like Zubrilina's density for the murmurations of…
We investigate the average value of the Frobenius trace at p over elliptic curves in a fixed conductor range with given rank. Plotting this average as p varies over the primes yields a striking oscillating pattern, the details of which vary…
We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…
Let $E_\lambda$ be the Legendre elliptic curve of equation $Y^2=X(X-1)(X-\lambda)$. We recently proved that, given $n$ linearly independent points $P_1(\lambda), \dots,P_n(\lambda)$ on $E_\lambda$ with coordinates in…
For a fixed elliptic curve $E$ without complex multiplication, $a_p := p+1 - \#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is $O(\sqrt{p})$ and $a_p/2\sqrt{p}$ converges to a semicircular distribution. Michel proved that for a one-parameter family of elliptic curves…
In this paper, we study a certain Artin--Schreier family of elliptic curves over the function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We prove an asymptotic estimate on the size of the special value of their $L$-function in terms of the degree of their…
For a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p\geq 5$ and $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, we consider the family of elliptic curves $E_d$ over $K$ given by $y^2+xy - t^dy=x^3$ for all integers $d$ coprime to $q$. We provide an explicit…
