AbstractIn this paper we consider the question of when all Seshadri constants on a product of two isogenous elliptic curves $$E_1\times E_2$$ E 1 × E 2 without complex multiplication are integers. By studying elliptic curves on $$E_1\times E_2$$ E 1 × E 2 we translate this question into a purely numerical problem expressed by quadratic forms. By solving that problem, we show that all Seshadri constants on $$E_1\times E_2$$ E 1 × E 2 are integers if and only if the minimal degree of an isogeny $$E_1\rightarrow E_2$$ E 1 → E 2 equals 1 or 2. Furthermore, this method enables a characterization of irreducible principal polarizations on $$E_1\times E_2$$ E 1 × E 2 .

In a series of papers we classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves base-extended to number fields of a fixed degree. In this paper we turn our attention to the question of how the torsion of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication defined over the rationals grows over quadratic fields. We go further and we give an explicit characterization of the quadratic fields where the torsion grows in terms of some invariants attached to the curve.

The main purpose of this paper is to give an intrinsic interpretation of the space Θ(D) generated by the binary theta series ϑf attached to the positive binary quadratic forms f whose discriminant has the form D(f) = D/t2, for some integer t. It turns out that [Formula: see text], the space of modular forms of weight 1 and of level |D| which have complex multiplication (CM) by their Nebentypus character [Formula: see text]. As an application, we obtain a structure theorem of the space [Formula: see text]. The proof of this theorem rests on the results of [The space of binary theta series, Ann. Sci. Math. Québec36 (2012) 501–534] together with a characterization of the newforms f which have CM by their Nebentypus character in terms of properties of the associated Deligne–Serre Galois representationρf.

AbstractLet P and Q be two points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. For $$\alpha \in {\text {End}}(E)$$ α ∈ End ( E ) , define $$B_\alpha $$ B α to be the $$\mathcal {O}_K$$ O K -integral ideal generated by the denominator of $$x(\alpha (P)+Q)$$ x ( α ( P ) + Q ) . Let $$\mathcal {O}$$ O be a subring of $${\text {End}}(E)$$ End ( E ) , that is a Dedekind domain. We will study the sequence $$\{B_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in \mathcal {O}}$$ { B α } α ∈ O . We will show that, for all but finitely many $$\alpha \in \mathcal {O}$$ α ∈ O , the ideal $$B_\alpha $$ B α has a primitive divisor when P is a non-torsion point and there exist two endomorphisms $$g\ne 0$$ g ≠ 0 and f so that $$f(P)= g(Q)$$ f ( P ) = g ( Q ) . This is a generalization of previous results on elliptic divisibility sequences.

1. As Hecke showed, every L-function of an imaginary quadratic field K with a Grössen-character γ is the Mellin transform of a cusp form f(z) belonging to a certain congruence subgroup Γ of SL2(Z). We can normalize γ so that

The aim of this article is to provide a characterization of quadratic forms of low dimension such that the canonical involutions of their Clifford algebras are hyperbolic.
