AbstractThere is an algorithm of Schoof for finding divisors of class numbers of real cyclotomic fields of prime conductor. In this paper we introduce an improvement of the elliptic analogue of this algorithm by using a subgroup of elliptic units given by Weierstrass forms. These elliptic units which can be expressed in terms of $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}x$-coordinates of points on elliptic curves enable us to use the fast arithmetic of elliptic curves over finite fields.

AbstractLetkbe a global field,a separable closure ofk, andGkthe absolute Galois groupofoverk. For everyσ ∈ Gk, letbe the fixed subfield ofunderσ. LetE/kbe an elliptic curve overk. It is known that the Mordell–Weil grouphas infinite rank. We present a new proof of this fact in the following two cases. First, when k is a global function field of odd characteristic andEis parametrized by a Drinfeld modular curve, and secondly whenkis a totally real number field andE/kis parametrized by a Shimura curve. In both cases our approach uses the non-triviality of a sequence of Heegner points onEdefined over ring class fields.
