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.

AbstractSuppose K is an imaginary quadratic field and E is an elliptic curve over a number field F with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in K. Let p be a rational prime that splits as in K. Let Epn denote the pn-division points on E. Assume that F(Epn) is abelian over K for all n ≥ 0. This paper proves that the Pontrjagin dual of the -Selmer group of E over F(Ep∞) is a finitely generated free Λ-module, where Λ is the Iwasawa algebra of . It also gives a simple formula for the rank of the Pontrjagin dual as a Λ-module.

For a prime p, let ζp denote a fixed primitive pth root of unity. Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field k with a p-torsion point. Then the p-torsion subgroup of E gives a Kummer extension over k(ζp). In this paper, for p = 5 and 7, we study the ramification of such Kummer extensions using explicit Kummer generators directly computed by Verdure in 2006.

For a prime p, let ζp denote a fixed primitive pth root of unity. Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field K with a p-torsion point. Then the p-torsion subgroup of E gives a Kummer extension over K(ζp), and in this paper, we study the ramification of such Kummer extensions using the Kummer generators directly computed by Verdure in 2006. For quadratic fields K, we also give unramified Kummer extensions over K(ζp) generated from elliptic curves over K having a p-torsion point with bad reduction at certain primes. Many of these unramified Kummer extensions have not appeared in the previous work using fundamental units of quadratic fields.

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve defined over a number field [Formula: see text]. Suppose that [Formula: see text] has complex multiplication over [Formula: see text], i.e. [Formula: see text] is an imaginary quadratic field. With the aid of CM theory, we find elliptic curves whose quadratic twists have a constant root number.

Coates and Wiles [1] and B. Perrin-Riou (see [2]) study the arithmetic of an elliptic curve E defined over a number field F with complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field K by using p-adic techniques, which combine the classical descent of Mordell and Weil with ideas of Iwasawa’s theory of Zp-extensions of number fields. In a special case they consider a non-cyclotomic Zp-extension F∞ defined via torsion points of E and a certain Iwasawa module attached to E/F, which can be interpreted as an abelian Galois group of an extension of F∞. We are interested in the corresponding non-abelian Galois group and we want to show that the whole situation is quite analogous to the case of the cyclotomic Zp-extension (which is generated by torsion points of Gm).

Let E be an elliptic curve — defined over a number field K — without complex multiplication and with good ordinary reduction at all the primes above a rational prime p ≥ 5. We construct a pairing on the dual p∞-Selmer group of E over any strongly admissible p-adic Lie extension K∞/K under the assumption that it is a torsion module over the Iwasawa algebra of the Galois group G = Gal(K∞/K). Under some mild additional hypotheses, this gives an algebraic functional equation of the conjectured p-adic L-function. As an application, we construct completely faithful Selmer groups in case the p-adic Lie extension is obtained by adjoining the p-power division points of another non-CM elliptic curve A.

AbstractWe determine the smallest possible canonical height$\hat {h}(P)$for a non-torsion pointPof an elliptic curveEover a function field(t) of discriminant degree 12nwith a 2-torsion point forn=1,2,3, and with a 3-torsion point forn=1,2. For eachm=2,3, we parametrize the set of triples (E,P,T) of an elliptic curveE/with a rational pointPandm-torsion pointTthat satisfy certain integrality conditions by an open subset of2. We recover explicit equations for all elliptic surfaces (E,P,T) attaining each minimum by locating them as curves in our projective models. We also prove that forn=1,2 , these heights are minimal for elliptic curves over a function field of any genus. In each case, the optimal (E,P,T) are characterized by their patterns of integral points.

AbstractConsider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic fieldKwith good reduction at the primes abovep≥ 5 and with complex multiplication by the full ring of integersof K. In this paper, we constructp-adic analogues of the Eisenstein-Kronecker series for such an elliptic curve as Coleman functions on the elliptic curve. We then provep-adic analogues of the first and second Kronecker limit formulas by using the distribution relation of the Kronecker theta function.

AbstractLet E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ, of conductor N and without complex multiplication. For any positive integer l, let ϕl be the Galois representation associated to the l-division points of E. From a celebrated 1972 result of Serre we know that ϕl is surjective for any sufficiently large prime l. In this paper we find conditional and unconditional upper bounds in terms of N for the primes l for which ϕl is not surjective.

Abstract A result of the 2nd-named author states that there are only finitely many complex multiplication (CM)-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke’s equidistribution theorem and is hence noneffective. In this article, we give a completely effective proof of this result. To be precise, we show that every singular modulus that is an algebraic unit is associated with a CM-elliptic curve whose endomorphism ring has discriminant less than $10^{15}$. Through further refinements and computer-assisted arguments, we eventually rule out all remaining cases, showing that no singular modulus is an algebraic unit. This allows us to exhibit classes of subvarieties in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ not containing any special points.
