In this paper we prove that for every integer [Formula: see text], there exists an explicit constant [Formula: see text] such that the following holds. Let [Formula: see text] be a number field of degree [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be any rational prime that is totally inert in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] any elliptic curve defined over [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has potentially multiplicative reduction at the prime [Formula: see text] above [Formula: see text]. Then for every rational prime [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] has an irreducible mod [Formula: see text] Galois representation. This result has Diophantine applications within the “modular method”. We present one such application in the form of an Asymptotic version of Fermat’s Last Theorem that has not been covered in the existing literature.

AbstractLet E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ, of conductor N and without complex multiplication. For any positive integer l, let ϕl be the Galois representation associated to the l-division points of E. From a celebrated 1972 result of Serre we know that ϕl is surjective for any sufficiently large prime l. In this paper we find conditional and unconditional upper bounds in terms of N for the primes l for which ϕl is not surjective.

AbstractGiven an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over a number field $K$, and a prime $\ell $, the ${\ell }^{n} $-torsion points of $A$ give rise to a representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{n} } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ( \mathbb{Z} / {\ell }^{n} \mathbb{Z} )$. In particular, we get a mod-$\ell $representation ${\rho }_{A, \ell } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{F} }_{\ell } )$ and an $\ell $-adic representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{\infty } } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{Z} }_{\ell } )$. In this paper, we describe the possible determinants of subquotients of these two representations. These two lists turn out to be remarkably similar.Applying our results in dimension $g= 1$, we recover a generalized version of a theorem of Momose on isogeny characters of elliptic curves over number fields, and obtain, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, a generalization of Mazur’s bound on rational isogenies of prime degree to number fields.

In this paper, we present a description of the [Formula: see text]-adic Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve defined over a [Formula: see text]-adic field [Formula: see text], in the case where the image of inertia is non-abelian. There are two possibilities for the image of inertia, namely [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and in each case, we need to distinguish whether the inertia degree of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] is even or odd. The results presented here are being implemented in an algorithm to compute explicitly the Galois representation in these four cases.

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.

Special Case

Coates and Wiles [1] and B. Perrin-Riou (see [2]) study the arithmetic of an elliptic curve E defined over a number field F with complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field K by using p-adic techniques, which combine the classical descent of Mordell and Weil with ideas of Iwasawa’s theory of Zp-extensions of number fields. In a special case they consider a non-cyclotomic Zp-extension F∞ defined via torsion points of E and a certain Iwasawa module attached to E/F, which can be interpreted as an abelian Galois group of an extension of F∞. We are interested in the corresponding non-abelian Galois group and we want to show that the whole situation is quite analogous to the case of the cyclotomic Zp-extension (which is generated by torsion points of Gm).

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve over a finite field [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] a prime number different from the characteristic of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the structure of the Tate module [Formula: see text] as an integral Galois representations of [Formula: see text]. We indicate an explicit procedure to solve this problem starting from the characteristic polynomial [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]-invariant [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. Hilbert Class Polynomials of imaginary quadratic orders play an important role here. We give a global application to the study of prime-splitting in torsion fields of elliptic curves over number fields.

Let Ki be a number field for all i ∈ ℤ>0 and let ℰ be a family of elliptic curves containing infinitely many members defined over Ki for all i. Fix a rational prime p. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of an integer i0 such that, for all i > i0 and all elliptic curve E ∈ ℰ having good reduction at all 𝔭 | p in Ki, we have that E has good ordinary reduction at all primes 𝔭 | p. We illustrate our criteria by applying it to certain Frey curves in [Recipes to Fermat-type equations of the form xr + yr = Czp, to appear in Math. Z.; http://arXiv.org/abs/1203.3371 ] attached to Fermat-type equations of signature (r, r, p).

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.

Arithmetic Surface

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over an arithmetic surface, one obtains a lisse $\ell$-adic sheaf of rank two over the surface. This lisse sheaf has a number of straightforward properties: cyclotomic determinant, finite ramification, rational traces of Frobenius elements, and somewhere not potentially good reduction. We prove that any lisse sheaf of rank two possessing these properties comes from an elliptic curve.

AbstractLet K be an arbitrary number field, and let ρ : Gal($\math{\bar{K}}$/K) → GL2(E) be a nearly ordinary irreducible geometric Galois representation. In this paper, we study the nearly ordinary deformations of ρ. When K is totally real and ρ is modular, results of Hida imply that the nearly ordinary deformation space associated to ρ contains a Zariski dense set of points corresponding to ‘automorphic’ Galois representations. We conjecture that if K is not totally real, then this is never the case, except in three exceptional cases, corresponding to: (1) ‘base change’, (2) ‘CM’ forms, and (3) ‘even’ representations. The latter case conjecturally can only occur if the image of ρ is finite. Our results come in two flavours. First, we prove a general result for Artin representations, conditional on a strengthening of the Leopoldt Conjecture. Second, when K is an imaginary quadratic field, we prove an unconditional result that implies the existence of ‘many’ positive-dimensional components (of certain deformation spaces) that do not contain infinitely many classical points. Also included are some speculative remarks about ‘p-adic functoriality’, as well as some remarks on how our methods should apply to n-dimensional representations of Gal($\math{\bar{\QQ}}$/ℚ) when n > 2.
