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.

Galois Representation

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.

Let $K=\mathbb{F}_{q}(T)$ and $A=\mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$. Suppose that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ is a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $2$ over $K$ which does not have complex multiplication. We obtain an explicit upper bound (dependent on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$) on the degree of primes ${\wp}$ of $K$ such that the image of the Galois representation on the ${\wp}$-torsion points of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ is not surjective, in the case of $q$ odd. Our results are a Drinfeld module analogue of Serre’s explicit large image results for the Galois representations on $p$-torsion points of elliptic curves (Serre, Propriétés galoisiennes des points d’ordre fini des courbes elliptiques, Invent. Math. 15 (1972), 259–331; Serre, Quelques applications du théorème de densité de Chebotarev, Inst. Hautes Etudes Sci. Publ. Math. 54 (1981), 323–401.) and are unconditional because the generalized Riemann hypothesis for function fields holds. An explicit isogeny theorem for Drinfeld $A$-modules of rank $2$ over $K$ is also proven.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication (CM) over a number field $K$, and let $G_{E}(\ell )$ be the image of the Galois representation induced by the action of the absolute Galois group of $K$ on the $\ell$-torsion subgroup of $E$. We present two probabilistic algorithms to simultaneously determine $G_{E}(\ell )$ up to local conjugacy for all primes $\ell$ by sampling images of Frobenius elements; one is of Las Vegas type and the other is a Monte Carlo algorithm. They determine $G_{E}(\ell )$ up to one of at most two isomorphic conjugacy classes of subgroups of $\mathbf{GL}_{2}(\mathbf{Z}/\ell \mathbf{Z})$ that have the same semisimplification, each of which occurs for an elliptic curve isogenous to $E$. Under the GRH, their running times are polynomial in the bit-size $n$ of an integral Weierstrass equation for $E$, and for our Monte Carlo algorithm, quasilinear in $n$. We have applied our algorithms to the non-CM elliptic curves in Cremona’s tables and the Stein–Watkins database, some 140 million curves of conductor up to $10^{10}$, thereby obtaining a conjecturally complete list of 63 exceptional Galois images $G_{E}(\ell )$ that arise for $E/\mathbf{Q}$ without CM. Under this conjecture, we determine a complete list of 160 exceptional Galois images $G_{E}(\ell )$ that arise for non-CM elliptic curves over quadratic fields with rational $j$-invariants. We also give examples of exceptional Galois images that arise for non-CM elliptic curves over quadratic fields only when the $j$-invariant is irrational.

Elliptic Pseudoprimes

Abstract Let E be an elliptic curve over ℚ without complex multiplication, and for each prime p of good reduction, let nE(p) = |E(𝔽p)|. For any integer b, we consider elliptic pseudoprimes to the base b. More precisely, let QE,b(x) be the number of primes p ⩽ x such that bnE(p) ≡ b (mod nE(p)), and let πpseuE,b (x) be the number of compositive nE(p) such that bnE(p) ≡ b (mod nE(p)) (also called elliptic curve pseudoprimes). Motivated by cryptography applications, we address the problem of finding upper bounds for QE,b(x) and πpseuE,b (x), generalising some of the literature for the classical pseudoprimes to this new setting.

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 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.

AbstractConsider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic fieldKwith good reduction at the primes abovep≥ 5 and with complex multiplication by the full ring of integersof K. In this paper, we constructp-adic analogues of the Eisenstein-Kronecker series for such an elliptic curve as Coleman functions on the elliptic curve. We then provep-adic analogues of the first and second Kronecker limit formulas by using the distribution relation of the Kronecker theta function.

Rule Out

Abstract A result of the 2nd-named author states that there are only finitely many complex multiplication (CM)-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke’s equidistribution theorem and is hence noneffective. In this article, we give a completely effective proof of this result. To be precise, we show that every singular modulus that is an algebraic unit is associated with a CM-elliptic curve whose endomorphism ring has discriminant less than $10^{15}$. Through further refinements and computer-assisted arguments, we eventually rule out all remaining cases, showing that no singular modulus is an algebraic unit. This allows us to exhibit classes of subvarieties in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ not containing any special points.

Fermat’S Little Theorem

AbstractIn 1987, Gordon gave an integer primality condition similar to the familiar test based on Fermat’s little theorem, but based instead on the arithmetic of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove the existence of infinitely many composite numbers simultaneously passing all elliptic curve primality tests assuming a weak form of a standard conjecture on the bound on the least prime in (special) arithmetic progressions. Our results are somewhat more general than both the 1999 dissertation of the first author (written under the direction of the third author) and a 2010 paper on Carmichael numbers in a residue class written by Banks and the second author.
