AbstractLet K be a fixed number field, assumed to be Galois over ℚ. Let r and f be fixed integers with f positive. Given an elliptic curve E, defined over K, we consider the problem of counting the number of degree f prime ideals of K with trace of Frobenius equal to r. Except in the case f = 2, we show that ‘on average,’ the number of such prime ideals with norm less than or equal to x satisfies an asymptotic identity that is in accordance with standard heuristics. This work is related to the classical Lang–Trotter conjecture and extends the work of several authors.

AbstractLet K be a number field and r an integer. Given an elliptic curve E, defined over K, we consider the problem of counting the number of degree two prime ideals of K with trace of Frobenius equal to r. Under certain restrictions on K, we show that “on average” the number of such prime ideals with norm less than or equal to x satisfies an asymptotic identity that is in accordance with standard heuristics. This work is related to the classical Lang–Trotter conjecture and extends the work of several authors.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be [Formula: see text]-nonisogenous, semistable elliptic curves over [Formula: see text], having respective conductors [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and both without complex multiplication. For each prime [Formula: see text], denote by [Formula: see text] the trace of Frobenius. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for the convolved symmetric power [Formula: see text]-functions [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], we prove an explicit result that can be stated succinctly as follows: there exists a prime [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] This improves and makes explicit a result of Bucur and Kedlaya. Now, if [Formula: see text] is a subinterval with Sato–Tate measure [Formula: see text] and if the symmetric power [Formula: see text]-functions [Formula: see text] are functorial and satisfy GRH for all [Formula: see text], we employ similar techniques to prove an explicit result that can be stated succinctly as follows: there exists a prime [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field F, and let Σ be a finite set of finite places of F. Let L(s, E, ψ) be the L-function of E twisted by a finite-order Hecke character ψ of F. It is conjectured that L(s, E, ψ) has a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane and satisfies a functional equation s ↔ 2 − s. Then one can define the so called minimal order of vanishing ats = 1 of L(s, E, ψ), denoted by m(E, ψ) (see Section 2 for the definition).

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.

AbstractThis paper describes an algorithm of 2-descent for computing the rank of an elliptic curve without 2-torsion, defined over a general number field. This allows one, in practice, to deal with fields of degree from 1 to 5.

Abstract Let A be the coordinate ring of an affine elliptic curve (over an infinite field k) of the form X – {p}, where X is projective and p is a closed point on X. Denote by F the function field of X. We show that the image of H.(GL2 (A), ℤ) in H.(GL2 (F), ℤ) coincides with the image of H.(GL2 (k), ℤ). As a consequence, we obtain numerous results about the K-theory of A and X. For example, if k is a number field, we show that r2 (K2 (A) ⊗ ℚ) = 0, where rm denotes the mth level of the rank filtration.

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.
