The well-known analogies between number fields and function fields have led to the transposition of many problems from one domain to the other. In this paper, we will discuss traffic of this sort, in both directions, in the theory of…
We formulate a multi-variable p-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for p-ordinary elliptic curves A over number fields K. It generalises the one-variable conjecture of Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum, who studied the case K=Q and the…
We establish a congruence formula between $p$-adic logarithms of Heegner points for two elliptic curves with the same mod $p$ Galois representation. As a first application, we use the congruence formula when $p=2$ to explicitly construct…
The purpose of the paper is to complete several global and local results concerning parity of ranks of elliptic curves. Primarily, we show that the Shafarevich-Tate conjecture implies the parity conjecture for all elliptic curves over…
In this paper we show the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for a certain elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{5})$ is equivalent to the same conjecture for a certain pair of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over $\mathbb{Q}$. We…
We use Heegner points to prove the existence of nontorsion rational points on the elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3 + D$ for any rational number $D=a/b$ such that $a$ and $b$ are squarefree integers for which $6$, $a$, and $b$ are pairwise…
Let $E$ be a semistable elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. We prove that if $E$ has non-split multiplicative reduction at at least one odd prime or split multiplicative reduction at at least two odd primes and if the rank of $E(\mathbb{Q})$…
For CM elliptic curve over rational field with analytic rank one, for any potential good ordinary prime p, not dividing the number of roots of unity in the complex multiplication field, we show the p-part of its Shafarevich-Tate group has…
We consider the question of when the L-polynomial of one curve divides the L-polynomial of another curve. A theorem of Tate gives an answer in terms of jacobians. We consider the question in terms of the curves. The last author gave an…
In this paper we refine recent work due to A. Shankar, A. N. Shankar, and X. Wang on counting elliptic curves by conductor to the case of elliptic curves with a rational 2-torsion point. This family is a small family, as opposed to the…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, a celebrated conjecture of Goldfeld asserts that a positive proportion of its quadratic twists should have analytic rank 0 (resp. 1). We show this conjecture holds whenever $E$ has a rational…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N$, and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field such that the root number of $E/K$ is $-1$. Let $O$ be an order in $K$ and assume that there exists an odd prime $p$, such that $p^2 \mid\mid N$, and…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with conductor $N$ and $p\nmid 2N$ a prime. Let $L$ be an imaginary quadratic field with $p$ split. We prove the existence of $p$-adic zeta element for $E$ over $L$, encoding two…
Given a rational elliptic curve E, a suitable imaginary quadratic field K and a quaternionic Hecke eigenform g of weight 2 obtained from E by level raising such that the sign in the functional equation for L_K(E,s) (respectively, L_K(g,1))…
A recent paper of Shekhar compares the ranks of elliptic curves $E_1$ and $E_2$ for which there is an isomorphism $E_1[p] \simeq E_2[p]$ as $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})$-modules, where $p$ is a prime of good ordinary reduction…
Consider the elliptic curve $E$ given by the Weierstrass equation $y^2 = x^3 - 11x - 14$, which has complex multiplication by the order of conductor $2$ inside $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. It was recently observed in a paper of Daniels and…
Let $ p $ be a prime lager than 3. Let $k$ be a number field, which does not contain the subfield of $\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_{p^2})$ of degree $p$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2, $g$ a positive integer, $f(x)$ a degree $(2g+1)$ polynomial with coefficients in $K$ and without multiple roots, $C: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$…
We study elliptic curves of the form $x^3+y^3=2p$ and $x^3+y^3=2p^2$ where $p$ is any odd prime satisfying $p\equiv 2\bmod 9$ or $p\equiv 5\bmod 9$. We first show that the $3$-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these…
In this note, we consider an l-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves over Q. We assume that l > 3 is a prime. The main result expresses the relevant Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finite- dimensional…
