We prove several results on torsion points and Galois representations for complex multiplication (CM) elliptic curves over a number field containing the CM field. One result computes the degree in which such an elliptic curve has a rational…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ without complex multiplication. If $\Gamma \subset E(\overline{K})$ is a subgroup of finite rank, a very special case of a conjecture of R\'emond predicts that points of small…

We characterize the possible groups $E(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})$ arising from elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of the groups $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$, with $p$ varying among the prime divisors of $N$. This classification is…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a CM elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, with Weiestrass form $y^3=x^3+bx$ or $y^2=x^3+c$. For every positive integer $m$, we denote by ${\mathcal{E}}[m]$ the $m$-torsion subgroup of ${\mathcal{E}}$ and by…

This paper gives a method to find all imaginary multiquadratic fields of class number dividing $2^{m},$ provided the list of all imaginary quadratic fields of class number dividing $2^{m+1}$ is known. We give a bound on the degree of such…

We prove that for any given positive integer $\ell$ there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields with 2-class group of type $(2,2^\ell)$, and provide a lower bound for the number of such groups with bounded discriminant for…

We present seven theorems on the structure of prime order torsion points on CM elliptic curves defined over number fields. The first three results refine bounds of Silverberg and Prasad-Yogananda by taking into account the class number of…

The goal is to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of quadratic extensions with bounded discriminant of a some quadratic number field with odd class number. This extends an already known result for Q.

In this paper we study the possible torsions of elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q(i)$ and $\mathbb Q(\sqrt {-3})$.

In this note, we connect the $n$-torsions of the Picard group of an elliptic surface to the $n$-divisibility of the class group of torsion fields for a given integer $n>1$. We also connect the $n$-divisibility of the Selmer group to that of…

Given an elliptic curve E over a number field k, the Galois action on the torsion points of E induces a Galois representation, \rho_E : Gal(\bar{k}/k) \to GL_2(\hat{Z}). For a fixed number field k, we describe the image of \rho_E for a…

We find new examples of complex surfaces with countably many non-isomorphic algebraic structures. Here is one such example: take an elliptic curve $E$ in $\mathbb P^2$ and blow up nine general points on $E$. Then the complement $M$ of the…

Let $K$ be a number field and $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with no $2$-torsion points. In the present article we give lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer rank of $E$ in terms of the $2$-torsion of a narrow class group of a certain cubic…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For a number field $K$, we let $K_\infty$ be the maximal unramified pro-$p$ extension of $K$; we call the group $\mathrm{Gal}(K_\infty/K)$ the $p$-class tower group of $K$. In a previous work, as a non-abelian…

In a series of papers we classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves base-extended to number fields of a fixed degree. In this paper we turn our attention to the question of how the torsion of an elliptic curve with…

Here we study algebraic function fields K, give necessary and sufficient condition for the ideal class group $H(K)$ of any real quadratic function field $K$ to have a cyclic subgroup of order $n$, and obtain eight series of such fields $K$,…

Let $q > 5$ be a prime and $K$ a quadratic number field. In this article we extend a previous result of Najman and the author and prove that if $E/K$ is an elliptic curve with potentially multiplicative reduction at all primes $\mathfrak q…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

Let $K$ be a quadratic field which is not an imaginary quadratic field of class number one. We describe an algorithm to compute the primes $p$ for which there exists an elliptic curve over $K$ admitting a $K$-rational $p$-isogeny. This…

We construct isotrivial and non-isotrivial elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with an arbitrarily large set of separable integral points. As an application of this construction, we prove that there are isotrivial log-general type…
