Hash functions map data of arbitrary length to data of predetermined length. Good hash functions are hard to predict, making them useful in cryptography. We are interested in the elliptic curve CGL hash function, which maps a bitstring to…

We introduce a special class of supersingular curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, characterized by the existence of non-integer endomorphisms of small degree. A number of properties of this set is proved. Most notably, we show that when this…

Given an elliptic curve E over a field of positive characteristic p, we consider how to efficiently determine whether E is ordinary or supersingular. We analyze the complexity of several existing algorithms and then present a new approach…

We call a simple abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$ super-isolated if its ($\mathbb{F}_p$-rational) isogeny class contains no other varieties. The motivation for considering these varieties comes from concerns about isogeny based attacks…

Supersingular isogeny graphs are known to have very few loops and multi-edges. We formalize this idea by studying and finding bounds for the number of loops and multi-edges in such graphs. We also find conditions under which the…

We study $\ell$-isogeny graphs of ordinary elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with an added level structure. Given an integer $N$ coprime to $p$ and $\ell,$ we look at the graphs obtained by adding $\Gamma_0(N),$ $\Gamma_1(N),$ and…

We study the modular curves defined by Weber functions, and associated modular polynomials, action of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and parametrizations of elliptic curves with a view to the study of the isogeny graphs that they determine,…

Let $n>1$ be an integer such that $X_{0}\!\left( n\right) $ has genus $0$, and let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ or relatively prime to $6n$. In this article, we explicitly classify the isogeny graphs of all rational elliptic curves…

The paper concerns several theoretical aspects of oriented supersingular $\ell$-isogeny volcanoes and their relationship to closed walks in the supersingular $\ell$-isogeny graph. Our main result is a bijection between the rims of the union…

Let $l$ and $p$ be two distinct prime numbers. We study $l$-isogeny graphs of ordinary elliptic curves defined over a finite field of characteristic $p$, together with a level structure. Firstly, we show that as the level varies over all…

We describe and compare algorithms for computing supersingular isogeny graphs. Along the way, we obtain a formula for the trace of the adjacency matrix of a general supersingular isogeny graph, and we prove a conjecture recently posed by…

By reformulating and extending results of Elkies, we prove some results on $\mathbb Q$-curves over number fields of odd degree. We show that, over such fields, the only prime isogeny degrees~$\ell$ which an elliptic curve without CM may…

In this note, we consider an l-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves over Q. We assume that l > 3 is a prime. The main result expresses the relevant Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finite- dimensional…

We present a construction of expander graphs obtained from Cayley graphs of narrow ray class groups, whose eigenvalue bounds follow from the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Our result implies that the Cayley graph of (Z/qZ)* with respect to…

A cycle cover of a graph is a set of cycles such that every vertex is part of exactly one cycle. An L-cycle cover is a cycle cover in which the length of every cycle is in the set L. The weight of a cycle cover of an edge-weighted graph is…

Let $A/\overline{\mathbb{F}}\_p$ and $A'/\overline{\mathbb{F}}\_p$ be supersingular principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g>1$. For any prime $\ell \ne p$, we give an algorithm that finds a path $\phi \colon A \rightarrow…

The cycles are the only $2$-connected graphs in which any two nonadjacent vertices form a vertex cut. We generalize this fact by proving that for every integer $k\ge 3$ there exists a unique graph $G$ satisfying the following conditions:…
