Given a curve X of the form y^p = h(x) over a number field, one can use descents to obtain explicit bounds on the Mordell-Weil rank of the Jacobian or to prove that the curve has no rational points. We show how, having performed such a…

We establish asymptotic lower bounds for the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with prescribed entanglement of division fields, ordered by naive height. Such elliptic curves are obtained as $1$-parameter families arising from…

We describe a tabulation of (conjecturally) modular elliptic curves over the field Q(sqrt(5)) up to the first curve of rank 2. Using an efficient implementation of an algorithm of Lassina Dembele, we computed tables of Hilbert modular forms…

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…

Consider the family of elliptic curves $E_n:y^2=x^3+n^2$, where $n$ varies over positive cubefree integers. There is a rational $3$-isogeny $\phi$ from $E_n$ to $\hat{E}_n:y^2=x^3-27n^2$ and a dual isogeny $\hat{\phi}:\hat{E}_n\rightarrow…

We consider a particular case of an analog for elliptic curves to the Mersenne problem : finding explicitely all prime power terms in an elliptic divisibility sequence when descent via isogeny is possible. We explain how this question can…

The main purpose of this paper is the geometric construction, and the analysis of the formalism of elliptic Bloch groups. In the setting of absolute cohomology, we obtain a generalization of Beilinson's Eisenstein symbol to divisors of an…

We provide a natural characterisation for the sets of elliptic and hyperbolic hyperplanes of the parabolic quadric Q(2n,q) when q is even. This characterisation is based on the number of elements of these sets through points and codimension…

We classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves over quintic number fields. In addition, let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G = E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion subgroup. We study, for a given G,…

Given a set $S$ of elements in a number field $k$, we discuss the existence of planar algebraic curves over $k$ which possess rational points whose $x$-coordinates are exactly the elements of $S$. If the size $|S|$ of $S$ is either $4,5$,…

In this paper, we show that the maximal divisible subgroup of groups $K_1$ and $K_2$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over a function field is uniquely divisible. Further those $K$-groups modulo this uniquely divisible subgroup are explicitly…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we study the finite extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on $E$ attains the Hasse upper bound. We obtain an…

We prove structure theorems for the moduli stack of elliptic curves equipped with $G$-structures, where $G$ is a finite 2-generated metabelian group. In particular, we show that if $G$ has exponent $e$, then there is a subgroup $H\le…

We develop a cohomological description of various explicit descents in terms of generalized Jacobians, generalizing the known description for hyperelliptic curves. Specifically, given an integer $n$ dividing the degree of some reduced…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ without complex multiplication. If $\Gamma \subset E(\overline{K})$ is a subgroup of finite rank, a very special case of a conjecture of R\'emond predicts that points of small…

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…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we classify all groups that can arise as $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p))_{\text{tors}}$ up to isomorphism for any prime $p$. When $p - 1$ is not divisible by small integers…

We study the geometry of varieties parametrizing degree d rational and elliptic curves in P^n intersecting fixed general linear spaces and tangent to a fixed hyperplane H with fixed multiplicities along fixed general linear subspaces of H.…

A first order differential equation with a periodic operator coefficient acting in a pair of Hilbert spaces is considered. This setting models both elliptic equations with periodic coefficients in a cylinder and parabolic equations with…

We show that $3$-graphs on $n$ vertices whose codegree is at least $(2/3 + o(1))n$ can be decomposed into tight cycles and admit Euler tours, subject to the trivial necessary divisibility conditions. We also provide a construction showing…
