Cyclic torsion of elliptic curves

Let be an elliptic curve over a number field such that
and let denote the number of roots of unity in . Ross proposed a question: Is isogenous over to an elliptic curve such that is cyclic of order dividing ? A counter-example of this question is given. We show that is isogenous to such that . In case has complex multiplication and , we obtain certain criteria whether or not is isogenous to such that .

     

Prime powers in elliptic divisibility sequences

Certain elliptic divisibility sequences are shown to contain only finitely many prime power terms. In some cases the methods prove that only finitely many terms are divisible by a bounded number of distinct primes.

     

Torsion on elliptic curves in isogeny classes

Let be an elliptic curve over a number field and its -isogeny class. We are interested in determining the orders and the types of torsion groups in . For a prime , we give the range of possible types of -primary parts of when runs over . One of our results immediately gives a simple proof of a theorem of Katz on the order of maximal -primary torsion in .

On Two Problems About Isogenies of Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields

Isogenies occur throughout the theory of elliptic curves. Recently, the cryptographic protocols based on isogenies are considered as candidates of quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols. Given two elliptic curves $E_1$,$E_2$ defined over a finite field $k$ with the same trace, there is a nonconstant isogeny $β$ from $E_2$ to $E_1$ defined over $k$. This study gives out the index of Hom$_k$($E_1$,$E_2$)$β$ as a nonzero left ideal in End$_k$($E_2$) and figures out the correspondence between isogenies and kernel ideals. In addition, some results about the non-trivial minimal degree of isogenies between two elliptic curves are also provided.     

Isogeny Covariant Differential Modular Forms and the Space of Elliptic Curves up to Isogeny

The purpose of this article is to develop the theory of differential modular forms introduced by A. Buium. The main points are the construction of many isogeny covariant differential modular forms and some auxiliary (nonisogeny covariant) forms and an extension of the classical theory of Serre differential operators on modular forms to a theory of -Serre differential operators on differential modular forms. As an application, we shall give a geometric realization of the space of elliptic curves up to isogeny.     

Differential Modular Forms on Shimura Curves, I

The quotient of a Shimura curve by the isogeny equivalence relation is not an object of algebraic geometry. The paper shows how this quotient space becomes a geometric object in a more general geometry obtained from 'usual algebraic geometry', by adjoining a new operation; this operation looks like a 'Fermat quotient' and should be viewed as an arithmetic analogue of usual derivations.
