The solvability of Diophantine quartic equations is a contemporary area of interest due to its connection with generalized Fermat's equation. In this work, we are interested in the integer solutions of a similar Diophantine equation p u^2 =…

We determine, for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ and for all $p$, all the possible torsion groups $E(\mathbb Q_{\infty, p})_{tors}$, where $\mathbb Q_{\infty, p}$ is the $\mathbb Z_p$-extension of $\mathbb Q$.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new family of elliptic curves in the form of $y^2=x(x-a^2)(x-b^2)$ that have positive ranks. We first generate a list of pythagorean triples $(a,b,c)$ and then construct this family of elliptic…

We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field $K$ having a prescribed torsion group $T$ as a subgroup. Let $T=\Z/m\Z \oplus \Z/n\Z$, where $m|n$, be a torsion group such that the modular curve…

We prove quantitative upper bounds for the number of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve $E/\Fp_q(C)$ over a function field over a finite field that have rank $\geq 2$, and for their average rank. The main tools are constructions and…

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…

For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…

A general construction yielding infinitely many families of $D(m^2)$-triples of triangular numbers is presented. Moreover, each triple obtained from this construction contains the same triangular number $T_n$.

Let F and K be number fields, with F contained in K. and let O_F and O_K be their rings of integers. If there exists an elliptic curve E over F such that E(F) and E(K) have rank 1, then there exists a diophantine definition of O_F over O_K.

An elliptic curve defined by an equation of the type $y^2=x^3+d$ is called a Mordell curve. We obtain a parametrised family of Mordell curves whose rank, in general, is at least three, and whose torsion group is $\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$.

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…

This article considers the family of elliptic curves given by $E_{p}: y^2=x^3-5px$ and certain conditions on an odd prime $p$. More specifically, we have shown that if $p \equiv 7, 23 \pmod {40}$, then the rank of $E_{p}$ is zero for both $…

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…

Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $\Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $\Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$…

A Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set of $m$ distinct integers such that the product of any two distinct elements plus one is a perfect square. In this paper we study the extensibility of a Diophantine triple $\{k-1, k+1, 16k^3-4k\}$ in Gaussian…

For a nonzero integer $n$, a set of distinct nonzero integers $\{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m\}$ such that $a_ia_j+n$ is a perfect square for all $1\leq i<j\leq m$, is called a Diophantine $m$-tuple with the property $D(n)$ or simply $D(n)$-set.…

We prove that when all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ are ordered by height, the average size of their 4-Selmer groups is equal to 7. As a consequence, we show that a positive proportion (in fact, at least one fifth) of all 2-Selmer…
