We prove a theorem giving the asymptotic number of binary quartic forms having bounded invariants; this extends, to the quartic case, the classical results of Gauss and Davenport in the quadratic and cubic cases, respectively. Our…

We describe deterministic and probabilistic algorithms to determine whether or not a given monic irreducible polynomial H in Z[X] is a Hilbert class polynomial, and if so, which one. These algorithms can be used to determine whether a given…

Let $p\ge5$ be a prime and $T$ a Kodaira type of the special fiber of an elliptic curve. We estimate the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ up to height $X$ with Kodaira type $T$ at $p$. This enables us find the proportion of…

There are 26 possibilities for the torsion group of elliptic curves defined over quadratic number fields. We present examples of high rank elliptic curves with given torsion group which give the current records for most of the torsion…

We look for elliptic curves featuring rational points whose coordinates form two arithmetic progressions, one for each coordinate. A constructive method for creating such curves is shown, for lengths up to 5.

We prove new sharp asymptotic for counting the semistable elliptic curves with two marked Weierstrass points at $\infty$ and $0$ and also the cases where $0$ is a 2-torsion or a 3-torsion marked Weierstrass point over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ by…

The modular degree m_E of an elliptic curve E/Q is the minimal degree of any surjective morphism X_0(N) -> E, where N is the conductor of E. We give a necessarily set of criteria for m_E to be odd. Specializing to N prime our results imply…

We heuristically analyze the Cocks-Pinch method by using the Bateman-Horn conjecture. Especially, we present the first known heuristic which suggests that any efficient construction of pairing-friendly elliptic curves can efficiently…

In this paper, $p$ and $q$ are two different odd primes. First, We construct the congruent elliptic curves corresponding to $p$, $2p$, $pq$, and $2pq,$ then, in the cases of congruent numbers, we determine the rank of the corresponding…

We prove explicit bounds on the number of lattice points on or near a convex curve in terms of geometric invariants such as length, curvature, and affine arclength. In several of our results we obtain the best possible constants. Our…

Consider the elliptic curves given by $ E_{n,\theta}:\quad y^2=x^3+2s n x^2-(r^2-s^2) n^2 x $ where $0 < \theta< \pi$, $\cos(\theta)=s/r$ is rational with $0\leq |s| <r$ and $\gcd (r,s)=1$. These elliptic curves are related to the…

The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…

For nonzero rational D, which may be taken to be a squarefree integer, let E_D be the elliptic curve Dy^2=x^3-x over Q arising in the "congruent number" problem. It is known that the L-function of E_D has sign -1, and thus odd analytic…

Using methods from analytic number theory, for $m > 5$ and for $m = 4$, we obtain asymptotics with power-saving error terms for counts of elliptic curves with a cyclic $m$-isogeny up to quadratic twist over the rational numbers. For $m >…

Silverman and Stange define the notion of an aliquot cycle of length L for a fixed elliptic curve E defined over the rational numbers, and conjecture an order of magnitude for the function which counts such aliquot cycles. In the present…

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 $p$ be a prime and $K$ a number field of degree $p$. We count the number of elliptic curves, up to $\bar{K}$-isomorphism, having a prescribed property, where this property is either that the curve contains a fixed torsion group as a…

Mazur's Theorem states that there are precisely 15 possibilities for the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers. It was previously shown by Harron and Snowden that the number of isomorphism classes of…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbf{E}$ be an elliptic curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. For a point $G\in\mathbf{E}(\mathbb{F}_p)$ the elliptic curve congruential generator (with respect to the first…

This work considers the prime number races for non-constant elliptic curves $E$ over function fields. We prove that if $\mathrm{rank}(E) > 0$, then there exist Chebyshev biases towards being negative, and otherwise there exist Chebyshev…
