We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field K having a prescribed torsion group T as a subgroup. Let T = ℤ/mℤ⊕ℤ/nℤ, where m|n, be a torsion group such that the modular curve X1(m, n) is an elliptic curve. Let K be a number field such that there is a positive and finite number of elliptic curves E over K having T as a subgroup. We call such pairs (T, K)exceptional. It is known that there are only finitely many exceptional pairs when K varies through all quadratic or cubic fields. We prove that when K varies through all quartic fields, there exist infinitely many exceptional pairs when T = ℤ/14ℤ or ℤ/15ℤ and finitely many otherwise.

We study elliptic curves over quadratic fields with isogenies of certain degrees. Let $n$ be a positive integer such that the modular curve $X_{0}(n)$ is hyperelliptic of genus ${\geqslant}2$ and such that its Jacobian has rank $0$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We determine all points of $X_{0}(n)$ defined over quadratic fields, and we give a moduli interpretation of these points. We show that, with a finite number of exceptions up to $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-isomorphism, every elliptic curve over a quadratic field $K$ admitting an $n$-isogeny is $d$-isogenous, for some $d\mid n$, to the twist of its Galois conjugate by a quadratic extension $L$ of $K$. We determine $d$ and $L$ explicitly, and we list all exceptions. As a consequence, again with a finite number of exceptions up to $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-isomorphism, all elliptic curves with $n$-isogenies over quadratic fields are in fact $\mathbb{Q}$-curves.

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve defined over [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be the torsion group [Formula: see text] for some cubic field [Formula: see text] which does not occur over [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine over which types of cubic number fields (cyclic cubic, non-Galois totally real cubic, complex cubic or pure cubic) [Formula: see text] can occur, and if so, whether it can occur infinitely often or not. Moreover, if it occurs, we provide elliptic curves [Formula: see text] together with cubic fields [Formula: see text] so that [Formula: see text].

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.

AbstractLet p be a prime and K a number field of degree p. We determine the finiteness of the number of elliptic curves, up to K-isomorphism, having a prescribed property, where this property is either that the curve contains a fixed torsion group as a subgroup or that it has a cyclic isogeny of prescribed degree.

AbstractA D(4)-m-tuple is a set of m integers such that the product of any two of them increased by 4 is a perfect square. A problem of extendibility of D(4)-m-tuples is closely connected with the properties of elliptic curves associated with them. In this paper we prove that the torsion group of an elliptic curve associated with a D(4)-triple can be either ℤ/2ℤ × ℤ/2ℤ or ℤ/2ℤ × ℤ/6ℤ, except for the D(4)-triple {−1, 3, 4} when the torsion group is ℤ/2ℤ × ℤ/4ℤ.

In this paper, we study a family of elliptic curves with CM by which also admits a ℚ-rational isogeny of degree 3. We find a relation between the Selmer groups of the elliptic curves and the ambiguous ideal class groups of certain cubic fields. We also find some bounds for the dimension of the 3-Selmer group over ℚ, whose upper bound is also an upper bound of the rank of the elliptic curve.

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 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).

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.

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.
