When p is congruent to 1 mod 8, we have a criterion of the quadratic character of 1+\sqrt{2}, which is related to the class number of \Q(\sqrt{-p}). In this paper, we obtain a similar criterion using an elliptic curve, which contrasts to the proof using algebraic number theory for the old one.
We describe a tabulation of (conjecturally) modular elliptic curves over the field Q(sqrt(5)) up to the first curve of rank 2. Using an efficient implementation of an algorithm of Lassina Dembele, we computed tables of Hilbert modular forms of weight (2,2) over Q(sqrt(5)), and via a variety of methods we constructed corresponding elliptic curves, including (again, conjecturally) all elliptic curves over Q(sqrt(5)) that have conductor with norm less than or equal to 1831.
We prove that every elliptic curve defined over a totally real number field of degree 4 not containing $\sqrt{5}$ is modular. To this end, we study the quartic points on four modular curves.
The class number divisibility problem for number fields is one of the classical problems in algebraic number theory, which originated from Gauss' class number conjectures. The relation between the points on an elliptic curve and class number divisibility of a number field has been explored through the works of various mathematicians. Here, we explicitly construct an unramified abelian extension of a bi-quadratic field generated from points of a certain type of elliptic curve. Moreover, showing the $2$-Selmer rank of the said elliptic curve as $1$, we also construct an infinite family of bi-qua…
We prove results towards classifying the possible torsion subgroups of elliptic curves over quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$, where $0<d<100$ is a square-free integer, and obtain a complete classification for 49 out of 60 such fields. Over the remaining 11 quadratic fields, we cannot rule out the possibility of the group $\mathbb{Z}/16\mathbb{Z}$ appearing as a torsion group of an elliptic curve.
In this paper we show the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for a certain elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{5})$ is equivalent to the same conjecture for a certain pair of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 over $\mathbb{Q}$. We numerically verify the conjecture for these hyperelliptic curves. Moreover, we explain the methods used to find this example, which turned out to be a bit more subtle than expected.
Consider elliptic curves $ E:\ y^{2} = x^{3} + D^{3} $ defined over the quadratic field $\ \Q(\sqrt{-3}) $. Hecke $ L-$series attached to $ E $ are studied, formulae for their values at $ s=1, $ and bound of 3-adic valuations of these values are given. These results are complementary to those in [Q] and [QZ], and are consistent with the predictions of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer.
We prove a new formula for the central value of the $L$-function $L(E_{D, α}, 1)$ corresponding to the family of sextic twists over $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-3}]$ of elliptic curves $E_{D, α}: y^2=x^3+16D^2α^3$ for $D$ an integer and $α\in \mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-3}]$. The formula generalizes the result of cubic twists over $\mathbb{Q}$ of Rodriguez-Villegas and Zagier for a prime $D \equiv 1 (9)$ and of Rosu for general $D$. For $α$ prime and all integers $D$, we also show that the expected value from the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture of the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group is an integer square …
In a previous paper, the author examined the possible torsions of an elliptic curve over the quadratic fields $\mathbb Q(i)$ and $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. Although all the possible torsions were found if the elliptic curve has rational coefficients, we were unable to eliminate some possibilities for the torsion if the elliptic curve has coefficients that are not rational. In this note, by finding all the points of two hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb Q(i)$ and $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, we solve this problem completely and thus obtain a classification of all possible torsions of elliptic curves o…
We study infinite families of quadratic and cubic twists of the elliptic curve $E = X_0(27)$. For the family of quadratic twists, we establish a lower bound for the $2$-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the value of the complex $L$-series at $s=1$, and, for the family of cubic twists, we establish a lower bound for the $3$-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the same $L$-value. We show that our lower bounds are precisely those predicted by the celebrated conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer.
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a nontrivial integral ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $K$, let $K_\mathfrak{m}$ be the ray class field modulo $\mathfrak{m}$. By using some inequalities on special values of modular functions, we show that a single $x$-coordinate of a certain elliptic curve generates $K_\mathfrak{m}$ over $K$.
Let $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ or $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and let $C_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. We study how the torsion part of an elliptic curve over $K$ grows in a quadratic extension of $K$. In the case $E(K)[2] \approx C_2 \oplus C_2$ we determine how a given torsion structure can grow in a quadratic extension and the maximum number of quadratic extensions in which it grows. We also classify the torsion structures which occur as the quadratic twist of a given torsion structure.
N.García-Fritz and H.Pasten showed that Hilbert's 10th problem is unsolvable in the ring of integers of number fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p},\sqrt{-q})$ for positive proportions of primes $p$ and $q$. We improve their proportions and extend their results to the case of number fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p},\sqrt{Dq})$, where $D$ belongs to an explicit family of positive square-free integers. We achieve this by using multiple elliptic curves, and replace their Iwasawa theory arguments by a more direct method.
Let $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ or $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and let $C_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. We study how the torsion part of an elliptic curve over $K$ grows in a quadratic extension of $K$. In the case $E(K)[2] \approx C_1$ we investigate how a given torsion structure can grow in a quadratic extension and the maximum number of extensions in which it grows. We also study the torsion structures which occur as the quadratic twist of a given torsion structure. In order to achieve this we examine $N$-isogenies defined over $K$ for $N=15,20,21,24,27,30,35$.
In this paper, we show that Tian's induction method can be generalised to study the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for the quadratic twists, both with global root number $+1$ and with global root number $-1$, of certain elliptic curves $E$ defined over $\mathbb Q$. In particular, for the curve $E = X_0(49)$ we prove the following results. Let $q_1, \ldots, q_r$ be distinct primes which are congruent to $1$ modulo $4$ and inert in the field $F = \mathbb Q(\sqrt{-7})$, and let $E^{(R)}$ be the twist of $E$ by the quadratic extension $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{R})/\mathbb Q$, where $R=q_1\ldots q_r$. The…
We consider the question of which quadratic fields have elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. By revisiting work of Setzer, we expand on congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic curves of everywhere good reduction and rational $j$-invariant. Using this, we determine the density of such real and imaginary quadratic fields. If $R(X)$ (respectively $I(X)$) denotes the number of real (respectively imaginary) quadratic fields $K=\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{m}]$ such that $|Δ_K| < X$ and for which there exists an elliptic curve $E/K$ with rational $j$…
In this paper, we will talk about the titled elliptic curve defined over imaginary quadratic fields such as $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is congruent to 3 modulo 8 and $(p,q)=1$.
$L-$series attached to two classical families of elliptic curves with complex multiplications are studied over number fields, formulae for their special values at $s=1, $ bound of the values, and criterion of reaching the bound are given. Let $ E_1: y^{2}=x^{3}-D_1 x $ be elliptic curves over the Gaussian field $K=\Q(\sqrt{-1}), $ with $ D_1 =π_{1} ... π_{n} $ or $ D_1 =π_{1} ^{2}... π_{r} ^{2} π_{r+1} ... π_{n}$, where $π_{1}, ..., π_{n}$ are distinct primes in $K$. A formula for special values of Hecke $L-$series attached to such curves expressed by Weierstrass $\wp-$function are given; a lo…
We study the problem of the existence of arithmetic progressions of three cubes over quadratic number fields Q(sqrt(D)), where D is a squarefree integer. For this purpose, we give a characterization in terms of Q(sqrt(D))-rational points on the elliptic curve E:y^2=x^3-27. We compute the torsion subgroup of the Mordell-Weil group of this elliptic curve over Q(sqrt(D)) and we give partial answers to the finiteness of the free part of E(Q(sqrt(D))). This last task will be translated to compute if the rank of the quadratic D-twist of the modular curve X_0(36) is zero or not.
Seminal works by Birch and Ihara gave formulas for the $m$th power moments of the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ for primes $p \geq 5$. Recent works by Kaplan and Petrow generalized these results to the setting of elliptic curves that contain a subgroup isomorphic to a fixed finite abelian group $A$. We revisit these formulas and determine a simple expression for the zeta function $Z_p(A; t)$, the generating function for these $m$th power moments. In particular, we find that \[ Z_p(A;t) = \frac{\widehat{Z}_p(A; t)}{\displaystyle \prod_{a \in \textrm{…
In this article we will describe a surprising observation that occurred in the construction of quadratic unramified extensions of a family of pure cubic number fields. Attempting to find an explanation will lead us on a magical mystery tour through the land of pure cubic number fields, Hilbert class fields, and elliptic curves.
We list the elliptic curves defined over $Q(\sqrt 5)$ with good reduction away from 2. There are 368 isomorphism classes. We give a global minimal model for each class.
Let K denote the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ where d=$-1$ or $-3$. Let E be an elliptic curve defined over K. In this paper, we analyze the torsion subgroups of E in the maximal elementary abelian $2$-extension of $K$.
We show that a character sum attached to a family of 3-isogenies defined on the fibers of a certain elliptic surface over $\mathbb{F}_p$ relates to the class number of the quadratic imaginary number field $\Q(\sqrt{-p})$. In this sense, this provides a higher-dimensional analog of some recent class number formulas associated to 2-isogenies of elliptic curves.
Consider the Weierstrass family of elliptic curves $E_λ:y^2=x^3+λ$ parametrized by nonzero $λ\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}_2}$, and let $P_λ(x)=(x,\sqrt{x^3+λ})\in E_λ$. In this article, given $α,β\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}_2}$ such that $\fracαβ\in\mathbb{Q}$, we provide an explicit description for the set of parameters $λ$ such that $P_λ(α)$ and $P_λ(β)$ are simultaneously torsion for $E_λ$. In particular we prove that the aforementioned set is empty unless $\fracαβ\in\{-2,-\frac{1}{2}\}$. Furthermore, we show that this set is empty even when $\fracαβ\notin\mathbb{Q}$ provided that $α$ and $β$ have d…
