In this paper, we give an effective and efficient algorithm which on input takes non-zero integers $A$ and $B$ and on output produces the generators of the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ given by an equation…
We determine all modular curves $X_0(N)/\langle w_d\rangle$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$, when $N$ is square-free.
Given an elliptic quartic of type $Y^2=f(X)$ representing an elliptic curve of positive rank over $\Q$, we investigate the question of when the $Y$-coordinate can be represented by a quadratic form of type $ap^2+bq^2$. In particular, we…
In this paper we give a complete characterization of the intersections between the Norm-Trace curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ and the curves of the form $y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$, generalizing a previous result by Bonini and Sala, providing more…
We determine the precise number of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\text{char}(\mathbb{F}_q) = 3,2$. The key idea is to obtain the exact unweighted number of rational points on the classifying stacks…
Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…
One of the many interesting algebraic objects associated to a given rational elliptic curve, $E$, is its full-torsion representation $\rho_E:\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to\mathrm{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbf{Z}})$. Generalizing this…
By examining the 3 surface angles which exist at any of the 8 vertices of a Diophantine parallelepiped, and classifying them by the appearance of a right angle, it is discovered that 5 unique classes of Diophantine parallelepipeds exist. It…
Let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ denote the finite field with $q^n$ elements. In this paper we determine the number of $\mathbb F_{q^n}$-rational points of the affine Artin-Schreier curve given by $y^q-y = x(x^{q^i}-x)-\lambda$ and of the…
Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x^4+px^2+qx+s with…
We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges, whose face diagonals, and whose space diagonal are of integer lengths. The problem of finding such cuboids or proving their non-existence is not solved thus far. The second…
The Hilbert basis is fundamental in describing the structure of the integer points of a polyhedral cone. The face-centered cubic grid is one of the densest packing of the 3-dimensional space. The cycles of a grid satisfy the constraint set…
A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…
This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journees Arithmetiques in St. Etienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective)…
Given a quintic number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$, we study the set of irreducible trinomials, polynomials of the form $x^{5} + ax + b$, that have a root in $K$. We show that there is a genus four curve $C_{K}$ whose rational points are in…
In studying rational points on elliptic K3 surfaces of the form $f(t)y^2=g(x)$, where $f,g$ are cubic or quartic polynomials (without repeated roots), we introduce a condition on the quadratic twists of two elliptic curves having…
For every n there exists an elliptic curve E over the rational numbers and an n-dimensional subspace V of non-zero rationals modulo squares such that for all v in V, the quadratic twist of E by v has positive rank.
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…
There exist cubical transition systems containing cubes having an arbitrarily large number of faces. A regular transition system is a cubical transition system such that each cube has the good number of faces. The categorical and…
