Vatsal has proved recently a result which has consequences for the existence of rational points of odd prime order ℓ on optimal elliptic curves over ℚ. When the conductor N is squarefree, ℓ ∤ N and the local root number wp= -1 for at least one prime p | N, we offer a somewhat different proof, starting from an explicit cuspidal divisor on X0(N). We also prove some results linking the vanishing of L(E,1) with the divisibility by ℓ of the modular parametrization degree, fitting well with the Bloch–Kato conjecture for L( Sym2E,2), and with an earlier construction of elements in Shafarevich–Tate groups. Finally (following Faltings and Jordan) we prove an analogue of the result on ℓ-torsion for cuspidal Hecke eigenforms of level one (and higher weight), thereby strengthening some existing evidence for another case of the Bloch–Kato conjecture.

Abstract In this paper, we show that an action on the set of elliptic curves with j = 1728 j=1728 preserves a certain kind of symmetry on the local root number of Hecke characters attached to such elliptic curves. As a consequence, we give results on the distribution of the root numbers and their average of the aforementioned Hecke characters.

The purpose of this article is to construct families of elliptic curves E over finite fields F so that the groups of F-rational points of E are cyclic, by using a representation of the modular invariant function by a generator of a modular function field associated with the modular group Γ0(N), where N = 5, 7 or 13.

A Finite Group

In the modern theory of elliptic curves, one of the important problems is the determination of the number of rational points on an elliptic curve. The Mordel–Weil theorem [T. Shioda, On the Mordell–Weil lattices, Comment. Math. University St. Paul. 39(2) (1990) 211–240] points out that the elliptic curve defined above the rational points is generated by a finite group. Despite the knowledge that an elliptic curve has a final number of rational points, it is still difficult to determine their number and the way how to determine them. The greatest progress was achieved by Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer conjecture, which was included in the Millennium Prize Problems [A. Wiles, The Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer conjecture, The Millennium Prize Problems (American Mathematical Society, 2006), pp. 31–44]. This conjecture uses methods of the analytical theory of numbers, while the current knowledge corresponds to the assumptions of the conjecture but has not been proven to date. In this paper, we focus on using a tangent line and the osculating circle for characterizing the rational points of the elliptical curve, which is the greatest benefit of the contribution. We use a different view of elliptic curves by using Minkowki’s theory of number geometry [H. F. Blichfeldt, A new principle in the geometry of numbers, with some applications, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 15(3) (1914) 227–235; V. S. Miller, Use of elliptic curves in cryptography, in Proc. Advances in Cryptology — CRYPTO ’85, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 218 (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1985), pp. 417–426; E. Bombieri and W. Gubler, Heights in Diophantine Geometry, Vol. 670, 1st edn. (Cambridge University Press, 2007)].
