A number of authors have proven explicit versions of Lehmer's conjecture for polynomials whose coefficients are all congruent to 1 modulo m. We prove a similar result for polynomials f(X) that are divisible in (Z/mZ)[X] by a polynomial of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of odd characteristic and $K= \mathbb{F}_q(t)$. For any integer $d\geq 2$ coprime to $q$, consider the elliptic curve $E_d$ over $K$ defined by $y^2=x(x^2+t^{2d} x-4t^{2d})$. We show that the rank of the…
We develop the quantum Kodaira-Spencer theory on the elliptic curve and establish the corresponding higher genus B-model. We show that the partition functions of the higher genus B-model on the elliptic curve are almost holomorphic modular…
We derive new integral presentations for central derivative values of $L$-functions of elliptic curves defined over the rationals, basechanged to a real quadratic field $K$, twisted by ring class characters of $K$ in terms of sums along…
Elliptic curves arise in many important areas of modern number theory. One way to study them is take local data, the number of solutions modulo $p$, and create an $L$-function. The behavior of this global object is related to two of the…
In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…
Consider elliptic curves $ E=E_\sigma: y^2 = x (x+\sigma p) (x+\sigma q), $ where$ \sigma =\pm 1, $ $p$ and $ q$ are prime numbers with $p+2=q$. (1) The Selmer groups $ S^{(2)}(E/{\mathbf{Q}}), S^{(\phi)}(E/{\mathbf{Q})}$, and $\…
We study the probability with which an elliptic curve $E/k$, subject to some technical conditions, gains rank upon base extension to an $S_3$-cubic extension $K/k$ with quadratic resolvent field $F/k$, all three fields of which are subject…
Poonen and Stoll have shown that the reduced Shafarevich-Tate group of a principally polarized abelian variety over a global field can have order twice a square (the odd case) as well as a square (the even case). For a curve over a global…
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…
We generalize the lemmas of Thomas Kretschmer to arbitrary number fields, and apply them with a 2-descent argument to obtain bounds for families of elliptic curves over certain imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1. One such…
Let $X$ be an arithmetic variety over the ring of integers of a number field $K$, with smooth generic fiber $X_K$. We give a formula that relates the dimension of the first Arakelov-Chow vector space of $X$ with the Mordell-Weil rank of the…
In this paper, we show that, by applying some results on modular symbols, for a family of certain elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb Q$, there is a large class of explicit quadratic twists whose complex $L$-series does not vanish at…
Let~$A$ be a quotient of $J_0(N)$ associated to a newform $f$ such that the special $L$-value of $A$ (at $s=1$) is non-zero. We give a formula for the ratio of the special $L$-value to the real period of $A$ that expresses this ratio as a…
The main goal of this paper is to extend two fundamental combinatorial results in Schubert calculus on flag manifolds from equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory to equivariant elliptic cohomology. The foundations of elliptic Schubert…
We consider refined conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type for the Hasse-Weil-Artin L-series of abelian varieties over general number fields. We shall, in particular, formulate several new such conjectures and establish their precise…

We consider the parametric family of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the form $E_{m} : y^{2} = x(x - n_{1})(x - n_{2}) + t^{2}$, where $n_{1}$, $n_{2}$ and $t$ are particular polynomial expressions in an integral variable $m$. In this…
