Let E be an elliptic curve of conductor p. Given a cyclic subgroup C of order p in E[p], we construct a modular point PC on E, called self-point, as the image of (E,C) on X0(p) under the modular parametrization X0(p) → E. We prove that the point is of infinite order in the Mordell–Weil group of E over the field of definition of C. One can deduce a lower bound on the growth of the rank of the Mordell–Weil group in its PGL 2(ℤp)-tower inside ℚ(E[p∞]).

Congruent Number Problem

AbstractGiven any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction of these triangles; for this purpose we find for any positive integer n an explicit cubic number field ℚ(λ) (depending on n) and an explicit point P λ of infinite order in the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic curve Y 2 = X 3 − n 2 X over ℚ(λ).

AbstractFollowing a method outlined by Greenberg, root number computations give a conjectural lower bound for the ranks of certain Mordell–Weil groups of elliptic curves. More specifically, for PQn a PGL2(Z/pnZ)–extension of Q and E an elliptic curve over Q, define the motive E ⊗ ρ, where ρ is any irreducible representation of Gal(PQn /Q). Under some restrictions, the root number in the conjectural functional equation for the L-function of E ⊗ ρ is easily computable, and a ‘–1’ implies, by the Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer conjecture, that ρ is found in E(PQn) ⊗ C. Summing the dimensions of such ρ gives a conjectural lower bound ofp2n–p2n–1–p–1for the rank of E(PQn).

AbstractWe study infinite families of quadratic and cubic twists of the elliptic curveE=X0(27). For the family of quadratic twists, we establish a lower bound for the 2-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the value of the complexL-series ats=1, and, for the family of cubic twists, we establish a lower bound for the 3-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the sameL-value. We show that our lower bounds are precisely those predicted by the celebrated conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve as a Galois module. We consider an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K whose Mordell-Weil rank over a Galois extension F is 1, 2 or 3. We show that E acquires a point (points) of infinite order over a field whose Galois group is one of Cn×Cm (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, m = 1, 2), Dn×Cm (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, m = 1, 2), A4×Cm (m = 1, 2), S4 × Cm (m = 1, 2). Next, we consider the case where E has complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field contained in K. Suppose that the -rank over a Galois extension F is 1 or 2. If ≠ and and h (class number of ) is odd, we show that E acquires positive -rank over a cyclic extension of K or over a field whose Galois group is one of SL2(/3), an extension of SL2(/3) by /2, or a central extension by the dihedral group. Finally, we discuss the relation of the above results to the vanishing of L-functions.

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the field Q of rational numbers, then the torsion subgroup of the Mordell-Weil group E(Q) is finite and it is known that there exist the elliptic curves whose torsion subgroups E(Q)t are of the following types: (1), (2), (3), (2, 2), (4), (5), (2, 3), (7), (2, 4), (8), (9), (2, 5), (2, 2, 3), (3, 4) and (2, 8). It has been conjectured from various reasons that E(Q)t is exhausted by the above types only. If E has a torsion point of order precisely n, then it is known that E has an n-isogeny, that is to say, an isogeny of degree n.

Let $k$ be a finite field and $L$ be the function field of a curve $C/k$ of genus $g\geq 1$. In the first part of this note we show that the number of separable $S$-integral points on a constant elliptic curve $E/L$ is bounded solely in terms of $g$ and the size of $S$. In the second part we assume that $L$ is the function field of a hyperelliptic curve $C_{A}:s^{2}=A(t)$, where $A(t)$ is a square-free $k$-polynomial of odd degree. If $\infty$ is the place of $L$ associated to the point at infinity of $C_{A}$, then we prove that the set of separable $\{\infty \}$-points can be bounded solely in terms of $g$ and does not depend on the Mordell–Weil group $E(L)$. This is done by bounding the number of separable integral points over $k(t)$ on elliptic curves of the form $E_{A}:A(t)y^{2}=f(x)$, where $f(x)$ is a polynomial over $k$. Additionally, we show that, under an extra condition on $A(t)$, the existence of a separable integral point of ‘small’ height on the elliptic curve $E_{A}/k(t)$ determines the isomorphism class of the elliptic curve $y^{2}=f(x)$.

AbstractThis paper studies the compact p∞-Selmer Iwasawa module X(E/F∞) of an elliptic curve E over a False Tate curve extension F∞, where E is defined over ℚ, having multiplicative reduction at the odd prime p. We investigate the p∞-Selmer rank of E over intermediate fields and give the best lower bound of its growth under certain parity assumption on X(E/F∞), assuming this Iwasawa module satisfies the H(G)-Conjecture proposed by Coates–Fukaya–Kato–Sujatha–Venjakob.

Suppose that [Formula: see text] is an elliptic curve with a rational point [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a point of infinite order. We consider the problem of determining the density of primes [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] has odd order. This density is determined by the image of the arboreal Galois representation [Formula: see text]. Assuming that [Formula: see text] is primitive (that is neither [Formula: see text] nor [Formula: see text] is twice a point over [Formula: see text]) and that the image of the ordinary [Formula: see text]-adic Galois representation is as large as possible (subject to [Formula: see text] having a rational point of order [Formula: see text]), we determine that there are [Formula: see text] possibilities for the image of [Formula: see text]. As a consequence, the density of primes [Formula: see text] for which the order of [Formula: see text] is odd is between 1/14 and [Formula: see text].
