It is well known that every elliptic curve over the rationals admits a parametrization by means of modular functions. In this short note, we show that only finitely many elliptic curves over $\mathbf{Q}$ can be parametrized by modular units. This answers a question raised by W. Zudilin in a recent work on Mahler measures. Further, we give the list of all elliptic curves $E$ of conductor up to 1000 parametrized by modular units supported in the rational torsion subgroup of $E$. Finally, we raise several open questions.

In this paper we study the variation of the $p$-Selmer rank parities of $p$-twists of a principally polarized Abelian variety over an arbitrary number field $K$ and show, under certain assumptions, that this parity is periodic with an explicit period. Our result applies in particular to principally polarized Abelian varieties with full $K$-rational $p$-torsion subgroup, arbitrary elliptic curves, and Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. Assuming the Shafarevich–Tate conjecture, our result allows one to classify the rank parities of all quadratic twists of an elliptic or hyperelliptic curve after a finite calculation.

AbstractFix an elliptic curve y2 = x3 + Ax + B, satisfying A, B ∈ , A ≥ |B| > 0. We prove that the -torsion subgroup is one of (0), /3, /9. Related numerical calculations are discussed.

Consider a family of elliptic curves (A, A0, d0 fixed integers). We prove that, under certain conditions on A0 and d0, the rational torsion subgroup of E(B) is either cyclic of order ≤ 3 or non-cyclic of order 4. Also, assuming standard conjectures, we establish estimates for the order of the Tate-Shafarevich groups as B varies.

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.
