In this paper, we study the $p$-Selmer groups in the family of $p$-twists of an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$. We prove that if $E/K$ is an elliptic curve over a number field $K$, and if $d$ is congruent to the dimension of the…

Let $p$ be a fixed prime number, and $F$ a global function field of characteristic not equal to $p$. In this paper, we shall study the growth of the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the even $K$-groups in a $p$-adic Lie extension of $F$, where the…

We show that the average and typical ranks in a certain parametric family of elliptic curves described by D. Ulmer tend to infinity as the parameter $d \to\infty$. This is perhaps unexpected since by a result of A. Brumer, the average rank…

The notion of the truncated Euler characteristic for Iwasawa modules is an extension of the notion of the usual Euler characteristic to the case when the homology groups are not finite. This article explores congruence relations between the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $E$ an elliptic curve defined over a number field. Suppose that $E$ has good reduction at any prime lying above $p$, and has supersingular reduction at some prime lying above $p$. In this paper, we construct…

We study the Selmer group of an elliptic curve over an admissible p-adic Lie extension of a number field F . We give a formula for the Akashi series attached to this module, in terms of the corresponding objects for the cyclotomic…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F_{\infty}$ a $p$-adic Lie extension of a number field $F$ with Galois group $G$. Suppose that $G$ is a compact pro-$p$ $p$-adic Lie group with no torsion and that it contains a closed normal subgroup $H$ such…

Let $q$ be a prime with $q \equiv 7 \mod 8$, and let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$. Then $2$ splits in $K$, and we write $\mathfrak{p}$ for either of the primes $K$ above $2$. Let $K_\infty$ be the unique $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of $K$…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve, $p$ a prime and $K_{\infty}/K$ the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a quadratic imaginary field $K$ satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In this paper we make a conjecture about the fine…

In this paper we study extension problems for torsors in positive characteristic. Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $U/F$ be a unipotent algebraic group. As our first main result, we prove that every $U$-torsor defined over the…

In this paper, we prove a function field-analogue of Poonen-Rains heuristics on the average size of $p$-Selmer group. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Z}[t]$. Then $E$ is also defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ for any $q$ of…

Consider a function field $K$ with characteristic $p>0$. We investigate the $\Lambda$-module structure of the Mordell-Weil group of an abelian variety over $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $K$, generalizing results due to Lee. Next, we study…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $F$ be $\mathbb{Q}$ or an imaginary quadratic field with certain conditions. In this article, we study the ideal class group $\mathrm{Cl}(F_E)$ of the $p$-division field…

We discuss properties of the complete Euler characteristic of a group G of type FP over the complex numbers and we relate it to the L2-Euler characteristic of the centralizers of the elements of G.

According to Euler's relation any polytope P has as many faces of even dimension as it has faces of odd dimension. As a generalization of this fact one can compare the number of faces whose dimension is congruent to i modulo m with 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 $f$ be an elliptic modular form and $p$ an odd prime that is coprime to the level of $f$. We study the link between divisors of the characteristic ideal of the $p$-primary fine Selmer group of $f$ over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$…

Fix a prime number $p$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic coprime to 2, 3, and $p$, which also contains the primitive $p$-th root of unity $\mu_p$. Based on the works by Swinnerton-Dyer and Klagsbrun, Mazur, and Rubin,…
