Let [Formula: see text] be a [Formula: see text]-curve without complex multiplication. We address the problem of deciding whether [Formula: see text] is geometrically isomorphic to a strongly modular [Formula: see text]-curve. We show that the question has a positive answer if and only if [Formula: see text] has a model that is completely defined over an abelian number field. Next, if [Formula: see text] is completely defined over a quadratic or biquadratic number field [Formula: see text], we classify all strongly modular twists of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] in terms of the arithmetic of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we show how to determine which of these twists come, up to isogeny, from a subfield of [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.

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.

Let 𝕏 be a finite group of primitive Dirichlet characters. Let ξ = ∑χ∈𝕏 aχ χ be a nonzero element of the group ring ℤ[𝕏]. We investigate the smallest prime q that is coprime to the conductor of each χ ∈ 𝕏 and that satisfies ∑χ∈𝕏 aχ χ(q) ≠ 0. Our main result is a nontrivial upper bound on q valid for certain special forms ξ. From this, we deduce upper bounds on the smallest unramified prime with a given splitting type in an abelian number field. For example, let K/ℚ be an abelian number field of degree n and conductor f. Let g be a proper divisor of n. If there is any unramified rational prime q that splits into g distinct prime ideals in ØK, then the least such q satisfies [Formula: see text].

Let $E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ be the Legendre family of elliptic curves. Given $n$ points $P_{1},\ldots ,P_{n}\in E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})})$, linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that there are at most finitely many complex numbers $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}$ such that $E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}}$ has complex multiplication and $P_{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}),\ldots ,P_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0})$ are linearly dependent over End$(E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}})$. This implies a positive answer to a question of Bertrand and, combined with a previous work in collaboration with Capuano, proves the Zilber–Pink conjecture for a curve in a fibered power of an elliptic scheme when everything is defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$.

Let I be an odd prime number and let K be an algebraic number field of degree I. Let M denote the genus field of K, i.e., the maximal extension of K which is a composite of an absolute abelian number field with K and is unramified at all the finite primes of K. In [4] Ishida has explicitly constructed M. Therefore it is of some interest to investigate unramified cyclic extensions of K of degree l, which are not contained in M. In the preceding paper [6] we have obtained some results about this problem in the case that K is a pure cubic field. The purpose of this paper is to extend those results.

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.
