Let E be an elliptic curve over Q, and rho_l: Gal(Q) --> GL_2(Z_l) its l-adic Galois representation. Serre observed that for l>3 there is no proper closed subgroup of SL_2(Z_l) that maps surjectively onto SL_2(Z/lZ), and concluded that if…

This paper is concerned with difference equations on elliptic curves. We establish some general properties of the difference Galois groups of equations of order two, and give applications to the calculation of some difference Galois groups.…

We show that elliptic curves with complex multiplication (CM) naturally emerge in the spectral geometry of Hermitian one-matrix models in the two-cut phase. Focusing on a symmetric quartic potential, we derive the corresponding genus-one…

In this article we present a characterization of elliptic curves defined over a finite field Fq which possess a rational subgroup of order three. There are two posible cases depending on the rationality of the points in these groups. We…

For every normalized newform f in S_2(Gamma_1(N)) with complex multiplication, we study the modular parametrizations of elliptic curves C from the abelian variety A_f. We apply the results obtained when C is Gross's elliptic curve A(p).

We study families of superelliptic curves with fixed automorphism groups. Such families are parametrized with invariants expressed in terms of the coefficients of the curves. Algebraic relations among such invariants determine the lattice…

There is a lifting from a non-CM elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ to a paramodular form $f$ of degree $2$ and weight $3$ given by the symmetric cube map. We find the level of $f$ in an explicit way in terms of the coefficients of the…

We study Galois embedding problems arising from the 3-torsion of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, extending the correspondence to all possible images of mod 3 Galois representations; namely,…

We compute equivariant fundamental classes of orbits in GL(2)-representations. As applications, we find degrees of the orbit closures corresponding to elliptic fibrations and self-maps of the projective line.

We consider an almost complex structure J on CP2, or more generally an elliptic structure E which is tamed by the standard symplectic structure. An E-curve is a surface tangent to E (this generalizes the notion of J(holomorphic)-curve), and…

In this note we obtain defining equations of modular curves $X_0(2^{2n})$. The key ingredient is a recursive formula for certain generators of the function fields on $X_0(2^{2n})$.

We characterize the extendibility of the normal curvature on frontals and we give a representation formula of this type of frontals. Also we give representation formulas for wavefronts on all types of singularities and others sub classes of…

We explain how we computed equations for all genus 4 curves defined of the field with 2 elements, up-to-isomorphism, and some of the data we obtained. We give descriptions also of nice models for genus 4 curves over characteristic 2 fields,…

We obtain eigenvalue equations satisfied by various elliptic modular graphs with five links where two of the vertices are unintegrated. Solving them leads to several non--trivial algebraic identities between these graphs.

We give explicit formulas for the number of distinct elliptic curves over a finite field, up to isomorphism, in two families of curves introduced by C.~Doche, T.~Icart and D.~R. Kohel.

Elliptic curves have a well-known and explicit theory for the construction and application of endomorphisms, which can be applied to improve performance in scalar multiplication. Recent work has extended these techniques to hyperelliptic…

In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

For any elliptic curve E defined over the rationals with complex multiplication and for every prime p, we describe the image of the mod p Galois representation attached to E. We deduce information about the field of definition of torsion…
