Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ where $p$ splits completely. Suppose that $E$ has good reduction at all primes above $p$. Generalizing previous works of Kobayashi and Sprung, we define multiply signed Selmer…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and $E$ an elliptic curve defined over a number field with good reduction at every prime of $F$ above $p$. In this short note, we compute the Euler characteristics of the signed Selmer groups of $E$ over the…

We extend work of Swinnerton-Dyer on the density of the number of twists of a given elliptic curve that have 2-Selmer group of a particular rank.

We say that two elliptic curves E_1, E_2 over a number field K are n-Selmer companions for a positive integer n if for every quadratic character \chi of K, there is an isomorphism between the n-Selmer groups Sel_n(E_1^\chi/K) and…

We study the rank of the $p$-Selmer group $Sel_p(A/k)$ of an abelian variety $A/k$, where $k$ is a function field. If $K/k$ is a quadratic extension and $F/k$ is a dihedral extension and the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of $Sel_p (A/K)$ is odd, we…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. Consider an odd prime $p$ at which $E$ has good supersingular reduction with $a_p(E)=0$ and which is inert in $K$. Under the assumption…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rational field $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $K$ be a quadratic extension over $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $\mathrm{ST}(E/K)$ dente the Shafarevich-Tate group of $E$ over $K$. We show that (under mild conditions on $E$) for…

Let $p$ be a fixed odd prime. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$ with good supersingular reduction at all primes above $p$. We study both the classical and plus/minus Selmer groups over the cyclotomic…

In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has twists of arbitrary 2-Selmer rank, and we give…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F'$ such that $E$ has semistable reduction at every prime of $F'$ above $p$ and is supersingular at at least one prime above $p$. Under…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = p(x)$ defined over a number field $K$ with $p(x)$ integral of odd degree. The purpose of the present article is to prove lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer group of the Jacobian of…

For an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ we show that there are infinitely many cyclic sextic extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ such that the Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ has rank greater than the subgroup of $E(K)$ generated by all the $E(F)$ for the…

Let E be a rational elliptic curve of conductor N without complex multiplication and let K be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant D prime to N. Assume that the number of primes dividing N and inert in K is odd, and let H be the…

In this paper, we calculate the $ \phi (\hat{\phi})-$Selmer groups $ S^{(\phi)} (E / \Q) $ and $ S^{(\hat{\varphi})} (E^{\prime} / \Q) $ of elliptic curves $ y^{2} = x (x + \epsilon p D) (x + \epsilon q D) $ via descent theory (see [S,…

Fix an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $F$ and an integer $n$ which is a power of $3$. We study the growth of the Mordell--Weil rank of $E$ after base change to the fields $K_d = F(\sqrt[2n]{d})$. If $E$ admits a $3$-isogeny, then we…

We study how the torsion of elliptic curves over number fields grows upon base change, and in particular prove various necessary conditions for torsion growth. For a number field $F$, we show that for a large set of number fields $L$, whose…

In section 2, we show a $p$-parity result in a $D_{2p^{n}}$-extension of number fields $L/K$ ($p\geq 5$) for the twist $1\oplus \eta \oplus \tau $: W(E/K,1\oplus \eta \oplus \tau)=(-1)^{< 1\oplus\eta \oplus \tau, X_{p}(E/L)>}, where $E$ is…

We study the growth of the Galois invariants of the $p$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve in a degree $p$ Galois extension. We show that this growth is determined by certain local cohomology groups and determine necessary and sufficient…

Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with torsion subgroup $G = E(\mathbb{Q})_{\rm tors}$ we study what groups (up to isomorphism) can occur as the torsion subgroup of $E$ base-extended to $K$, a degree 6 extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We…

For a given group $G$ and an elliptic curve $E$ defined over a number field $K$, I discuss the problem of finding $G$-extensions of $K$ over which $E$ gains rank. I prove the following theorem, extending a result of Fearnley, Kisilevsky,…
