A curve X over the field Q of rational numbers is modular if it is dominated by X_1(N) for some N; if in addition the image of its jacobian in J_1(N) is contained in the new subvariety of J_1(N), then X is called a new modular curve. We…

Let $F_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p=2,3$. We give the number of irreducible polynomials $x^m+a_{m-1}x^{m-1}+...+a_0\in\F_q[x]$ with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_{m-3}$ prescribed for any given $m$ if $p=2$, and with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_1$…

A Nehari manifold optimization method (NMOM) is introduced for finding 1-saddles, i.e., saddle points with the Morse index equal to one, of a generic nonlinear functional in Hilbert spaces. Actually, it is based on the variational…

We show that the order three algebraic differential equation over ${\mathbb Q}$ satisfied by the analytic $j$-function defines a non-$\aleph_0$-categorical strongly minimal set with trivial forking geometry relative to the theory of…

We study origami $f: C \rightarrow E$ with $G$-Galois cover $Q_8$. For a point $P \in E(\mathbb{Q}) \backslash \left\{ \mathcal{O} \right\}$, we study the field obtained by adjoining to $\mathbb{Q}$ the coordinates of all of the preimages…

We study $N$-congruences between quadratic twists of elliptic curves. If $N$ has exactly two distinct prime factors we show that these are parametrised by double covers of certain modular curves. In many, but not all cases, the modular…

Bruin--Najman and Ozman--Siksek have recently determined the quadratic points on all modular curves $X_0(N)$ of genus 2, 3, 4, and 5 whose Mordell--Weil group has rank 0. In this paper we do the same for the $X_0(N)$ of genus 2, 3, 4, and 5…

We develop a theory connecting the following three areas: (a) the mean field equation (MFE) $\triangle u + e^u = \rho\, \delta_0$, $\rho \in \mathbb R_{>0}$ on flat tori $E_\tau = \mathbb C/(\mathbb Z + \mathbb Z\tau)$, (b) the classical…

Let $\mathbb{F}_r$ be a finite field of characteristic $p>3$. For any power $q$ of $p$, consider the elliptic curve $E=E_{q,r}$ defined by $y^2=x^3 + t^q -t$ over $K=\mathbb{F}_r(t)$. We describe several arithmetic invariants of $E$ such as…

We present an algorithm for computing the structure of any submodule of the module of points of a Drinfeld $A$-module over a finite field, where $A$ is a function ring over $\mathbb F_q$. When the function ring is $A = \mathbb F_q[T]$, we…

As we explain, when a positive integer $n$ is not squarefree, even over $\mathbb{C}$ the moduli stack that parametrizes generalized elliptic curves equipped with an ample cyclic subgroup of order $n$ does not agree at the cusps with the…

An important classification problem in Algebraic Geometry deals with pairs $(\E,\phi)$, consisting of a torsion free sheaf $\E$ and a non-trivial homomorphism $\phi\colon (\E^{\otimes a})^{\oplus b}\lra\det(\E)^{\otimes c}\otimes \L$ on a…

In this article we present a characterization of elliptic curves defined over a finite field Fq which possess a rational subgroup of order three. There are two posible cases depending on the rationality of the points in these groups. We…

In 1985, Schoof devised an algorithm to compute zeta functions of elliptic curves over finite fields by directly computing the numerators of these rational functions modulo sufficiently many primes (see \cite{schoof_1985}). If $E/K$ is an…

We provide a new approach to studying the moduli space of curves via Morse theory and hyperbolic geometry, by introducing a family of Morse functions on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$…

In this paper we construct parameterizations of elliptic curves over the rationals which have many consecutive integral multiples. Using these parameterizations, we perform searches in GMP and Magma to find curves with points of small…

Consider a modular curve $X_G$ defined over a number field $K$, where $G$ is a subgroup of $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})$ with $N>2$. The curve $X_G$ comes with a morphism $j: X_G\to \mathbb{P}^1_K=\mathbb{A}^1_K \cup\{\infty\}$ to the…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we design a deterministic algorithm that, given a prime p and positive integer m=o(sqrt(p)/(log p)^4), outputs an elliptic curve E over the finite field F_p for which the cardinality of E(F_p) is…

We put together a general framework to deal with elliptic and parabolic equations associated with (nonlinear) nonlocal (fractional order) operators. Many well-known nonlocal operators enter into our framework, and in addition one may…
