Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In 1976, Lang and Trotter conjectured an asymptotic formula for the number $\pi_{E,r}(X)$ of primes $p \leq X$ of good reduction for which the Frobenius trace at $p$ associated to $E$…
We generalize Elkies's method, an essential ingredient in the SEA algorithm to count points on elliptic curves over finite fields of large characteristic, to the setting of p.p. abelian surfaces. Under reasonable assumptions related to the…
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 $K$ be a fixed number field, assumed to be Galois over $\mathbb Q$. Let $r$ and $f$ be fixed integers with $f$ positive. Given an elliptic curve $E$, defined over $K$, we consider the problem of counting the number of degree $f$ prime…
Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, and suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$. If $E$ has an $\ell$-torsion point, then there has been significant work done on characterizing the $\ell$-divisibility of the…
For every elliptic curve $E$ which has complex multiplication (CM) and is defined over a number field $F$ containing the CM field $K$, we prove that the family of $p^{\infty}$-division fields of $E$, with $p \in \mathbb{N}$ prime, becomes…
Let $K$ be a quadratic field which is not an imaginary quadratic field of class number one. We describe an algorithm to compute the primes $p$ for which there exists an elliptic curve over $K$ admitting a $K$-rational $p$-isogeny. This…
We present two algorithms to compute the endomorphism ring of an ordinary elliptic curve E defined over a finite field F_q. Under suitable heuristic assumptions, both have subexponential complexity. We bound the complexity of the first…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over $\mathbb Q$. Viewing the sequence of its Frobenius traces $(a_p(E))_p$ indexed by primes $p$ as an element in the "poor man's ad\`ele ring", we prove its transcendence…
Let $p$ be an odd rational prime and consider the cyclotomic number field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p})$ of conductor $p$. We construct a directed graph $Y$ on $p-1$ vertices for which the torsion part of the corresponding Bowen--Franks group…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve described by either an Edwards model or a twisted Edwards model over $\mathbb{F}_p$, namely, $E$ is defined by one of the following equations $x^2+y^2=a^2(1+x^2y^2),\, a^5-a\not\equiv 0$ mod $p$, or,…
We call an order $O$ in a quadratic field $K$ odd (resp. even) if its discriminant is an odd (resp. even) integer. We call an elliptic curve $E$ over the field $C$ of complex numbers with CM odd (resp. even) if its endomorphism ring…
Let F be the cyclotomic field of fifth roots of unity. We computationally investigate modularity of elliptic curves over F.
Let $K$ be a number field. For which primes $p$ does there exist an elliptic curve $E / K$ admitting a $K$-rational $p$-isogeny? Although we have an answer to this question over the rationals, extending this to other number fields is a…
We give a function F(d,n,p) such that if K/Q_p is a degree n field extension and A/K is a d-dimensional abelian variety with potentially good reduction, then #A(K)[tors] is at most F(d,n,p). Separate attention is given to the prime-to-p…
We prove that many representations $\overline{\rho} : \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \to \operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_3)$, where $K$ is a CM field, arise from modular elliptic curves. We prove similar results when the prime $p = 3$…
Let $K$ be a global field and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with a $K$-rational point of prime order $p$. In this paper we are interested in how often the (global) Tamagawa number $c(E/K)$ of $E/K$ is divisible by $p$. This is a natural…
In the early 2000s, Ramakrishna asked the question: For the elliptic curve $$ E: y^2 = x^3 - x, $$ what is the density of primes $p$ for which the Fourier coefficient $a_p(E)$ is a cube modulo $p$? As a generalization of this question,…
We use the tropical geometry approach to compute absolute and relative Gromov-Witten invariants of complex surfaces which are $\CC P^1$-bundles over an elliptic curve. We also show that the tropical multiplicity used to count curves can be…
We show there exist polynomial bounds on torsion of elliptic curves which come from a fixed geometric isogeny class. More precisely, for an elliptic curve $E_0$ defined over a number field $F_0$, for each $\epsilon>0$ there exist constants…
