Let q be a power of a prime and E be an elliptic curve defined over F_q. In "Combinatorial aspects of elliptic curves" [17], the present author examined a sequence of polynomials which express the N_k's, the number of points on E over the…

In these short notes, we will show the following. Let F_q be a finite field and let E/\F_q be an elliptic curve. Let S_r be the rth summation/Semaev polynomial for E. Under an assumption, we show that it is NP-complete to check if S_r…

An elliptic curve $E$ defined over a $p$-adic field $K$ with a $p$-isogeny $\phi:E\rightarrow E^\prime$ comes equipped with an invariant $\alpha_{\phi/K}$ that measures the valuation of the leading term of the formal group homomorphism…

We give a simple proof of the well-known divisibility by 2 condition for rational points on elliptic curves with rational 2-torsion. As an application of the explicit division by $2^n$ formulas obtained in Sec.2, we construct versal…

We generalise the Siegel-Voloch theorem about S-integral points on elliptic curves as follows: let K/F denote a global function field over a finite field F of characteristic p>3, let S denote a finite set of places of K and let E/K denote a…

Major controversy surrounds the use of Elliptic Curves in finite fields as Random Number Generators. There is little information however concerning the "randomness" of different procedures on Elliptic Curves defined over fields of…

Assuming Lang's conjectured lower bound on the heights of non-torsion points on an elliptic curve, we show that there exists an absolute constant C such that for any elliptic curve E/Q and non-torsion point P in E(Q), there is at most one…

Let $k$ be a finite field and $L$ be the function field of a curve $C/k$ of genus $g\geq 1$. In the first part of this note, we show that the number of separable $S$-integral points on a constant elliptic curve $E/L$ is bounded solely in…

Given a real elliptic curve $E$ with non-empty real part and $[D]\in \mbox{Pic}^2 E$ its $g_2^1$, we study the real inflection points of distinguished subseries of the complete real linear series $|\mathcal{L}_\mathbb{R}(kD)|$ for $k\geq…

The value distribution of derivatives of characteristic polynomials of matrices from SO(N) is calculated at the point 1, the symmetry point on the unit circle of the eigenvalues of these matrices. We consider subsets of matrices from SO(N)…

Let E/k(T) be an elliptic curve defined over a rational function field of characteristic zero. Fix a Weierstrass equation for E. For points R in E(k(T)), write x_R=A_R/D_R^2 with relatively prime polynomials A_R(T) and D_R(T) in k[T]. The…

We analyze the point decomposition problem (PDP) in binary elliptic curves. It is known that PDP in an elliptic curve group can be reduced to solving a particular system of multivariate non-linear system of equations derived from the so…

We present two algorithms that, given a prime ell and an elliptic curve E/Fq, directly compute the polynomial Phi_ell(j(E),Y) in Fq[Y] whose roots are the j-invariants of the elliptic curves that are ell-isogenous to E. We do not assume…

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 E/Q be an elliptic curve, let L(E,s)=\sum a_n/n^s be the L-series of E/Q, and let P be a point in E(Q). An integer n > 2 having at least two distinct prime factors will be be called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P) if E has good…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$ and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $K$, defined either by an equation of the form $y^{2} = f(x)$ with degree $3$ or as the Jacobian of a curve defined by an equation of the form…

We consider the problem of checking whether an elliptic curve defined over a given number field has complex multiplication. We study two polynomial time algorithms for this problem, one randomized and the other deterministic. The randomized…

Let $E$ be an elliptic surface over the curve $C$, defined over a number field $k$, let $P$ be a section of $E$, and let $\ell$ be a rational prime. For any non-singular fibre $E_t$, we bound the number of points $Q$ on $E_t$ of (algebraic)…

For each $t\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{-1,0,1\}$, define an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ by \begin{align*} E_t:y^2=x(x+1)(x+t^2). \end{align*} Using a formula for the root number $W(E_t)$ as a function of $t$ and assuming some standard…
