While there has been considerable interest in the problem of finding elliptic curves of high rank over $\mathbb{Q}$, very few parametrized families of elliptic curves of generic rank $\geq 8$ have been published. In this paper we use…
We study the possible structure of the groups of rational points on elliptic curves of the form y^2=(ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1), where a,b,c are non-zero rationals such that the product of any two of them is one less than a square.
We show the insolvability of the Diophantine equation $ax^d-y^2-z^2+xyz-b=0$ in $\mathbb{Z}$ for fixed $a$ and $b$ such that $a\equiv 1 \pmod {12}$ and $b=2^da-3$, where $d$ is an odd integer and is a multiple of $3$. Further, we…
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…
Let $C$ be a smooth genus one curve described by a quartic polynomial equation over the rational field $\mathbb Q$ with $P\in C(\mathbb Q)$. We give an explicit criterion for the divisibility-by-$2$ of a rational point on the elliptic curve…
We apply a variant of the square-sieve to produce a uniform upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on a family of surfaces that admit a fibration over the projective line, whose general fibre is a hyperelliptic…
We consider the structure of rational points on elliptic curves in Weierstrass form. Let x(P)=A_P/B_P^2 denote the $x$-coordinate of the rational point P then we consider when B_P can be a prime power. Using Faltings' Theorem we show that…
In this lecture we give a brief introduction to Weierstrass points of curves and computational aspects of $q$-Weierstrass points on superelliptic curves.
We present here quantitative versions in 1 dimension of Faltings'theorem according to which the set of the K-rational points (where K is a given number field) of an abelian variety A definied over K, which are close (with respect to a…
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…
In this paper we study a family of curves obtained by fibre products of hyperelliptic curves. We then exploit this family to construct examples of curves of given genus g over a finite field Fq with many rational points. The results…
For a given elliptic curve, its associated $L$-function evaluated at $1$ is closely related to its real period. In this article, we generalize this principle to a rational curve. We count the rational points over all finite fields and use…
In this paper, by using the theory of elliptic curves, we discuss several Diophantine equations related with the so-called figurate primes. Meanwhile, we raise several conjectures related with figurate primes and Hilbert's 8th problem,…
We present in this article a general approach (in the form of recommendations and guidelines) for tackling Diophantine equation problems (whether single equations or systems of simultaneous equations). The article should be useful in…
This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journees Arithmetiques in St. Etienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective)…
In this notes, we will give some remarks on the results in Rational points of universal curves by Hain. In particular, we consider the universal curves $\mathcal{M}_{g,n+1}\to \mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ and the sections of their algebraic…
An elliptic divisibility sequence, generated by a point in the image of a rational isogeny, is shown to possess a uniformly bounded number of prime terms. This result applies over the rational numbers, assuming Lang's conjecture, and over…
In this paper, elliptic curves theory is used for solving the Diophantine equations X^3+Y^3+Z^3+aU^k=a_0U_0^{t_0}+...+a_nU_n^{t_n}, k=3,4 where n, ti are natural numbers and a, a_i are fixed arbitrary rational numbers. We try to transform…
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…
We establish the sharp estimate <<_d N^{2/d} for the number of rational points of height at most N on an irreducible projective curve of degree d. We deduce this from a result for general hypersurfaces that is sensitive to the coefficients…
