Fix an elliptic curve $E/\Q$, and assume the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the $L$-function $ L(E_D, s) $ for every quadratic twist $E_D$ of $E$ by $D\in\Z$. We combine Weil's explicit formula with techniques of Heath-Brown to derive…

We make conjectures on the moments of the central values of the family of all elliptic curves and on the moments of the first derivative of the central values of a large family of positive rank curves. In both cases the order of magnitude…

In this paper, we obtain an unconditional density theorem concerning the low-lying zeros of Hasse-Weil L-functions for a family of elliptic curves. From this together with the Riemann hypothesis for these L-functions, we infer the majorant…

For each group $G$, $(|G| > 2)$ \, which acts as a full automorphism group on a genus 3 hyperelliptic curve, we determine the family of curves which have 2-Weierstrass points. Such families of curves are explicitly determined in terms of…

This is an updated version of ANT-0166. Generalizing results of Stroeker and Top we show that the 2-ranks of the Tate-Shafarevich groups of the elliptic curves $y^2 = (x+k)(x^2+k^2)$ can become arbitrarily large. We also present a…

We conjecture a lower bound for the minimal canonical height of non-torsion rational points on a natural density 1 subset of the sextic twist family of Mordell curves. We then establish a lower bound that yields a partial result towards…

The Katz-Sarnak density conjecture states that, in the limit as the conductors tend to infinity, the behavior of normalized zeros near the central point of families of L-functions agree with the N -> oo scaling limits of eigenvalues near 1…

We consider the family of hyperelliptic curves over $\Q$ of fixed genus along with a marked rational Weierstrass point and a marked rational non-Weierstrass point. When these curves are ordered by height, we prove that the average…

We prove that every hyperbolic curve with a faithful action of a non-cyclic $p$-group (with a few exceptions if $p=2$) has a twisted form of index $1$ which satisfies Grothendieck's section conjecture. Furthermore, we prove that for every…

The Heisenberg groups are examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to the Euclidean space. Their metric is derived from curves which are only allowed to move in so-called horizontal directions. We report on…

We describe a method for bounding the rank of an elliptic curve under the assumptions of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an example, we compute, under these conjectures, exact upper bounds…

In this paper, we determine the reduced automorphism groups of hyperelliptic curves of a small genus in characteristic $2$, when they are of $2$-rank $0$. Such a curve is an Artin-Schreier curve defined in the form $y^2-y=f(x)$ for a…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = p(x)$ defined over a number field $K$ with $p(x)$ integral of odd degree. The purpose of the present article is to prove lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer group of the Jacobian of…

In this paper we explicitly compute equations for the twists of all the smooth plane quartic curves defined over a number field k. Since the plane quartic curves are non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 we can apply the method developed by…

For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication, Lang and Trotter conjectured that the number of primes $p <X$ at which $E$ has a supersingular reduction is asymptotically equal to $c\sqrt{X}/\log X$, where $c>0$…

We prove the Gersten conjecture for $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists for a smooth scheme $X$ in mixed characteristic in the Nisnevich topology. Our main observation is that, while $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists are not $\mathbb A^1$-invariant,…

Let $q$ be a prime with $q \geq 5$. We show that the average rank of elliptic curves over a function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(t)$, when ordered by naive height, is bounded above by $25/14 \approx 1.8$. Our result improves the previous upper…

Let $f \in \mathbb Q[x]$ be a square-free polynomial of degree at least $3$, $m_i$, $i=1,2,3$, odd positive integers, and $a_i$, $i=1,2,3$, non-zero rational numbers. We show the existence of a rational function…

An interesting fact is that most of the known connected $2$-arc-transitive nonnormal Cayley graphs of small valency on finite simple groups are $(\mathrm{A}_{n+1},2)$-arc-transitive Cayley graphs on $\mathrm{A}_n$. This motivates the study…

(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a…
