AbstractLet K be a number field, an algebraic closure of K and E/K an elliptic curve defined over K. In this paper, we prove that if E/K has a K-rational point P such that 2P ≠ O and 3P ≠ O, then for each σ ∈ Gal(/K), the Mordell–Weil group of E over the fixed subfield of under σ has infinite rank.

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.

Canonical Height

AbstractWe determine the smallest possible canonical height$\hat {h}(P)$for a non-torsion pointPof an elliptic curveEover a function field(t) of discriminant degree 12nwith a 2-torsion point forn=1,2,3, and with a 3-torsion point forn=1,2. For eachm=2,3, we parametrize the set of triples (E,P,T) of an elliptic curveE/with a rational pointPandm-torsion pointTthat satisfy certain integrality conditions by an open subset of2. We recover explicit equations for all elliptic surfaces (E,P,T) attaining each minimum by locating them as curves in our projective models. We also prove that forn=1,2 , these heights are minimal for elliptic curves over a function field of any genus. In each case, the optimal (E,P,T) are characterized by their patterns of integral points.

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).

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).

AbstractLet $k$ be a number field with algebraic closure $ \overline{k} $, and let $S$ be a finite set of primes of $k$ containing all the infinite ones. Let $E/ k$ be an elliptic curve, ${\mit{\Gamma} }_{0} $ be a finitely generated subgroup of $E( \overline{k} )$, and $\mit{\Gamma} \subseteq E( \overline{k} )$ the division group attached to ${\mit{\Gamma} }_{0} $. Fix an effective divisor $D$ of $E$ with support containing either: (i) at least two points whose difference is not torsion; or (ii) at least one point not in $\mit{\Gamma} $. We prove that the set of ‘integral division points on $E( \overline{k} )$’, i.e., the set of points of $\mit{\Gamma} $ which are $S$-integral on $E$ relative to $D, $ is finite. We also prove the ${ \mathbb{G} }_{\mathrm{m} } $-analogue of this theorem, thereby establishing the 1-dimensional case of a general conjecture we pose on integral division points on semi-abelian varieties.

Trace Of Frobenius

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.

Torsion Subgroups

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.

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.
