Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a local field $K$ with residue characteristic $3$, we investigate the action of the absolute Galois group of $K$ in the case of potentially good reduction. In particular the only not completely known case is…
Given an elliptic curve over a field of characteristic different from 2,3, its discriminant defines a $\mu_{12}$-torsor over the field. In this paper, we give an explicit description of this $\mu_{12}$-torsor in terms of the 3-torsion…
We extend the map Exp for elliptic curves in short Weierstrass form over $ \mathbb{C} $ to Edwards curves over local fields. Subsequently, we compute the map Exp for Edwards curves over the local field $ \mathbb{Q}_{p} $ of $ p $-adic…
Rank computation of elliptic curves has deep relations with various unsolved questions in number theory, most notably in the congruent number problem for right-angled triangles. Similar relations between elliptic curves and Heron triangles…
Let $F_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p=2,3$. We give the number of irreducible polynomials $x^m+a_{m-1}x^{m-1}+...+a_0\in\F_q[x]$ with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_{m-3}$ prescribed for any given $m$ if $p=2$, and with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_1$…
We consider elliptic curves whose coefficients are degree 2 polynomials in a variable t. We prove that for infinitely many values of t the resulting elliptic curve has rank at least 1. All such curves together form an algebraic surface…
An elliptic curve defined over a number field possesses only a finite number of torsion points defined over the cyclotomic closure of its field of definition. In analogy to the relative version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture stated by…
Deciding whether a given graph has a square root is a classical problem that has been studied extensively both from graph theoretic and from algorithmic perspectives. The problem is NP-complete in general, and consequently substantial…
It is proved that the rank of an elliptic curve is one less the arithmetic complexity of the corresponding non-commutative torus. As an illustration, we consider a family of elliptic curves with complex multiplication.
A prime number $p$ is said to be irregular if it divides the class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p}) = \mathbb{Q}(\mathbb{G}_m[p])$. In this paper, we study its elliptic analogue for the division fields of an…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. For a quadratic number field $K$ and an odd prime number $p$, let $L$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $K$. We prove that $E(L)_{\text{tors}}=E(K)_{\text{tors}}$ when $p>5$. It enables…
Consider a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. After extending $K$ we can view it as a marked curve with its $2g+2$ Weierstrass points. We present an explicit algorithm to compute the stable reduction…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ in Legendre form $y^2 = x(x - 1)(x - \lambda)$ over the fraction field of a Henselian ring $R$ of mixed characteristic $(0, 2)$, we present an algorithm for determining a semistable model of $E$ over $R$ which…
We study the structure of the Mordell--Weil group of elliptic curves over number fields of degree 2, 3, and 4. We show that if $T$ is a group, then either the class of all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with torsion subgroup $T$ is…
In this note we revisit the problem of determining combinatorially the multiplicity at the origin of a toric curve. In addition, we give the exact value of the regularity index of that point for plane toric curves and effective bounds for…
When p is congruent to 1 mod 8, we have a criterion of the quadratic character of 1+\sqrt{2}, which is related to the class number of \Q(\sqrt{-p}). In this paper, we obtain a similar criterion using an elliptic curve, which contrasts to…
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…
The value distribution of derivatives of characteristic polynomials of matrices from SO(N) is calculated at the point 1, the symmetry point on the unit circle of the eigenvalues of these matrices. We consider subsets of matrices from SO(N)…
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…
