We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field $K$ having a prescribed torsion group $T$ as a subgroup. Let $T=\Z/m\Z \oplus \Z/n\Z$, where $m|n$, be a torsion group such that the modular curve…
For an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\F_q$, where $q$ is a prime power, we propose new algorithms for testing the supersingularity of $E$. Our algorithms are based on the Polynomial Identity Testing (PIT) problem for the $p$-th…
We determine all possible degrees of cyclic isogenies of non-CM elliptic curves with rational $j$-invariant over number fields of degree $p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. The question had been answered for $p=2$, so this paper completes the…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. Let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $E(\mathbb Q)$ and $P\in E(\mathbb Q)$. In [1], it was proved that if $E$ has no nontrivial rational torsion points, then $P\in\Gamma$ if and only if $P\in…
Isogenous elliptic curves have the same conductor but not necessarily the same minimal discriminant ideal. In this article, we explicitly classify all $p^2$-isogenous elliptic curves defined over a number field with the same minimal…
We derive a new bound for some bilinear sums over points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. We use this bound to improve a series of previous results on various exponential sums and some arithmetic problems involving points on…
In this paper, we extend previous results to prove that generalized modular forms with rational Fourier expansions whose divisors are supported only at the cusps and certain other points in the upper half plane are actually classical…
We demonstrate the existence of a congruence class bias in the distribution of supersingular primes on average for elliptic curves over $\Q$. For example, we show that on average there are twice as many supersingular primes congruent to 2…
We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…
Let E be a modular elliptic curve defined over a rational function field k of odd characteristic. We construct a sequence of Heegner points on E, defined over a $Z_p^{\infty}$-tower of finite extensions of k, and show that these Heegner…
We investigate the proportion of superelliptic curves that have a $\mathbb{Q}_p$ point for every place $p$ of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that this proportion is positive and given by the product of local densities, we provide lower bounds for…
We consider the problem of classifying quadruples $(K,E,m_1,m_2)$ where $K$ is a number field, $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$ and $(m_1,m_2)$ is a pair of relatively prime positive integers for which the intersection $K(E[m_1])…
For a square-free integer $N$, we present a procedure to compute $\mathbb{Q}$-curves parametrized by rational points of the modular curve $X_0^*(N)$ when this is hyperelliptic.
We prove that there exists a supersingular nonsingular curve of genus $4$ in arbitrary characteristic $p$. For $p>3$ we shall prove that the desingularization of a certain fiber product over $\mathbb{P}^1$ of two supersingular elliptic…
Let p be an odd prime and let E be an elliptic curve defined over a quadratic imaginary field where p splits completely. Suppose E has supersingular reduction at primes above p. We define and study the fine double-signed residual Selmer…
Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $\Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $\Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$…
The modular curves in the family $X_1(N)$ for natural numbers $N$ parametrize elliptic curves over the complex numbers with a distinguished point of order $N$. The purpose of this paper is to better understand how to calculate the degrees…
Combining $2$-descent techniques with Riemann-Roch and B\'ezout's theorems, we give an upper bound on the number of rational points of bounded height on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over function fields of characteristic $\neq 2$. We…
We determine which of the modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$, that is, curves lying between $X_0(N)$ and $X_1(N)$, are bielliptic. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that one of these curves has exceptional automorphisms. Finally we find all…
We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…
