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…

Fix an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb Q$ of rank $1$. In this paper, we develop an explicit numerical criterion, comparable to Gold's criterion, that determines whether the Iwasawa invariants of the elliptic curve at a good (ordinary or…

The parity of the analytic rank of an elliptic curve is given by the root number in the functional equation L(E,s). Fixing an elliptic curve over any number field and considering the family of its quadratic twists, it is natural to ask what…

Let $K_i$ be a number field for all $i \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a family of elliptic curves containing infinitely many members defined over $K_i$ for all $i$. Fix a rational prime $p$. We give sufficient conditions for…

We review the main conjecture for an elliptic curve on $\Q$ having good supersingular reduction at $p$ and give some consequences of it. Then we define the notion of $\lambda$-invariant and of $\mu$- invariant in this situation,…

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…

Vertical Sato-Tate states that the Frobenius trace of a randomly chosen elliptic curve over $\mathbb F_p$ tends to a semicircular distribution as $p\rightarrow \infty$. We go beyond this statement by considering the number of elliptic…

We study the variation of the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism associated to a cyclic trigonal curve of genus g over a field of q elements as the curve varies in an irreducible component of the moduli space. We show that for q fixed and…

We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…

In this paper, we explicitly classify the minimal discriminants of all elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with a non-trivial torsion subgroup. This is done by considering various parameterized families of elliptic curves with the property that…

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…

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…

The cyclicity and Koblitz conjectures ask about the distribution of primes of cyclic and prime-order reduction, respectively, for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. In 1976, Serre gave a conditional proof of the cyclicity conjecture, but…

Nagao's conjecture relates the rank of an elliptic surface to a limit formula arising from a weighted average of fibral Frobenius traces, and it is further generalized for smooth irreducible projective surfaces by M. Hindry and A. Pacheco.…

An elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is said to be good if $N_{E}^{6}<\max\!\left\{ \left\vert c_{4}^{3}\right\vert ,c_{6}^{2}\right\} $ where $N_{E}$ is the conductor of $E$ and $c_{4}$ and $c_{6}$ are the invariants associated to a…

Suppose that $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication and with conductor $N$. For each positive integer $m$, the action of the absolute Galois group…

By adapting the technique of David, Koukoulopoulos and Smith for computing sums of Euler products, and using their interpretation of results of Schoof \`a la Gekeler, we determine the average number of subgroups (or cyclic subgroups) of an…

Taking $r>0$, let $\pi_{2r}(x)$ denote the number of prime pairs $(p, p+2r)$ with $p\le x$. The prime-pair conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) asserts that $\pi_{2r}(x)\sim 2C_{2r} {\rm li}_2(x)$ with an explicit constant $C_{2r}>0$.…

We present here a formula for expressing the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ satisfying $j(E)\neq 0,1728$ and $q\equiv 1 \pmod{12}$ in terms of special values of Gaussian hypergeometric…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and $p \in \{5,7,11 \}$ be a prime. We determine the possibilities for $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p}))_{tors}$. Additionally, we determine all the possibilities for $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{16}))_{tors}$ and…
