Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ which has multiplicative reduction at a fixed prime $p$. For each positive integer $n$ we put $K_n:=\mathbb{Q}(E[p^n])$. The aim of this paper is to extend the author's previous our results…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $K$ be the $p$-th cyclotomic field and $F$ its maximal real subfield. We give general formulae of the root numbers of the Jacobian varieties of the Fermat curves $X^p+Y^p=\delta$ where $\delta$ is an…

Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…

We prove that the rational elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 - n^2x satisfies the full Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for at least 41.9% of positive squarefree integers n equal to 1, 2, or 3 mod 8, and that it satisfies the regular BSD…

A generalization of the congruent number problem is to find positive integers $n$ that appear as the areas of Heron triangles. Selmer group of a congruent number elliptic curve has been studied quite extensively. Here, we look into the…

Assume $x,\ y,\ n$ are positive integers and $n$ is odd. In this note, we show that the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^{2}-y^{n}})$ is divisible by $n$ for fixed $x, n$ if $\gcd(2x,y)=1$ and $y>C$ where…

The numbers of representations of totally positive integers as sums of three integer squares in $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{3})$ and in $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{17})$, are studied by using Shimura lifting map of Hilbert modular forms. We show the following…

An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…

We use Heegner points to prove the existence of nontorsion rational points on the elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3 + D$ for any rational number $D=a/b$ such that $a$ and $b$ are squarefree integers for which $6$, $a$, and $b$ are pairwise…

For a cubic algebraic extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$, the behavior of the ideal counting function is considered in this paper. Let $a_{K}(n)$ be the number of integral ideals of the field $K$ with norm $n$. An asymptotic formula is given for…

Two well-studied Diophantine equations are those of Pythagorean triples and elliptic curves; for the first, we have a parametrization through rational points on the unit circle, and for the second we have a structure theorem for the group…

We determine average sizes/bounds for the $2$- and $3$-Selmer groups in various families of elliptic curves with marked points, thus confirming several cases of the Poonen--Rains heuristics. As a consequence, we deduce that the average…

Let $a$ be an integer which is not of the form $n^2$ or $-3 n^2$ for $n\in \mathbb{Z}$. Let $E_a$ be the elliptic curve with rational $3$-isogeny defined by $E_a:y^2=x^3+a$, and $K:=\mathbb{Q}(\mu_3)$. Assume that the $3$-Selmer group of…

We derive a formula expressing the average number $E_n$ of real lines on a random hypersurface of degree $2n-3$ in $\mathbb{R}\textrm{P}^n$ in terms of the expected modulus of the determinant of a special random matrix. In the case $n=3$ we…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…

Let $p\equiv 8\mod 9$ be a prime. In this paper we give a sufficient condition such that at least one of $p$ and $p^2$ is the sum of two rational cubes. This is the first general result on the $8$ case of the so-called Sylvester conjecture.

A positive integer that is the area of some rational right triangle is called a congruent number. In an algebraic point of view, being a congruent number means satisfying a system of equations. As early as the 1800s, it is understood that…

A weaker form of a 1979 conjecture of Goldfeld states that for every elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, a positive proportion of its quadratic twists $E^{(d)}$ have rank 1. Using tools from Galois cohomology, we give criteria on E and d which…

A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. It is described by a system of four equations with respect to six variables.…

Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and suppose we are given $k$ integers $1 \leq a_1, \dots, a_k \leq n$. If $\sqrt{a_1} + \dots + \sqrt{a_k}$ is not an integer, how close can it be to one? When $k=1$, the distance to the nearest integer is $\gtrsim…
