Orders of the torsion of points of curves of genus 1

Let K be an algebraic number field of degree n; let be the number of divisor classes of the field K; y: v²=u⁴+au²+B is the Jacobian curve over where C is an integral divisor, q₁, ..., q_N are distinct prime divisors. One proves that there exists an effectively computable constant c=c(n, h(K), N), such that the order m of the torsion of any primitive K-point on is bounded by it: mC.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Uniform bounds on the number of rational points of a family of curves of genus 2

We exhibit a genus-2 curve defined over which admits two independent morphisms to a rank-1 elliptic curve defined over . We describe completely the set of -rational points of the curve and obtain a uniform bound on the number of -rational points of a rational specialization of the curve for a certain (possibly infinite) set of values . Furthermore, for this set of values we describe completely the set of -rational points of the curve . Finally, we show how these results can be strengthened assuming a height conjecture of Lang.     

Pair correlation of torsion points on elliptic curves

We prove the existence of the pair correlation measure associated to torsion points on the real locus E(R) of an elliptic curve E and provide an explicit formula for the limiting pair correlation function.     

Orders of torsion points of elliptic curves

We give a simple proof of the following proposition: if the elliptic curve contains a primitiveK -point of order 3 then theK -torsion of the curveT is uniformly bounded. We include application of the theorem.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 121, pp. 47–57, 1983.     

Gap sequences of 1-Weierstrass points on non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 10

In this paper, we compute the 1-gap sequences of 1-Weierstrass points of non-hyperelliptic smooth projective curves of genus 10. Furthermore, the geometry of such points is classified as flexes, sextactic and tentactic points. Also, upper bounds for their numbers are estimated.

Upper bounds for the height of S-integral points on elliptic curves

We establish new upper bounds for the height of the S-integral points of an elliptic curve. This bound is explicitly given in terms of the set S of places of the number field K involved, but also in terms of the degree of K, as well as the rank, the regulator and the height of a basis of the Mordell–Weil group of the curve. The proof uses the elliptic analogue of Baker’s method, based on lower bounds for linear forms in elliptic logarithms.     

On points of finite order on elliptic curves

A determination is made of all elliptic curves which possess, over a field K, points of order 10.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 7, No. 5, pp. 563–567, May, 1970.     

Finding rational points on bielliptic genus 2 curves

We discuss a technique for trying to find all rational points on curves of the form Y ²=f ₃ X ⁶+f ₂ X ⁴+f ₁ X ²+f ₀, where the sextic has nonzero discriminant. This is a bielliptic curve of genus 2. When the rank of the Jacobian is 0 or 1, Chabauty's Theorem may be applied. However, we shall concentrate on the situation when the rank is at least 2. In this case, we shall derive an associated family of elliptic curves, defined over a number field ℚα. If each of these elliptic curves has rank less than the degree of ℚα : ℚ, then we shall describe a Chabauty-like technique which may be applied to try to find all the points (x,y) defined over ℚα) on the elliptic curves, for which x∈ℚ. This in turn allows us to find all ℚ-rational points on the original genus 2 curve. We apply this to give a solution to a problem of Diophantus (where the sextic in X is irreducible over ℚ), which simplifies the recent solution of Wetherell. We also present two examples where the sextic in X is reducible over ℚ. Received: 27 November 1998 / Revised version: 4 June 1999     

Bounds for the size of integral points on curves of genus zero

Abstract. Let K be an algebraic number field and F(X, Y ) be an absolutelyirreducible polynomial of K[X, Y ] such that the curve defined by the equation F(X, Y ) = 0 is of genus 0 with at least threeinfinite valuations. In this paper we establish explicit upper bounds forthe size of integral solutions to the equation F(X, Y ) = 0 defined over K,improving significantly earlier estimates.

Exact bounds of the p torsion of the curves y² = x³ + s and v² = u⁴ + b are indicated. Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 3–7, January, 1977.     

Automorphisms of curves fixing the order two points of the Jacobian

Let X be an irreducible smooth projective curve, of genus at least two, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from two. If X admits a nontrivial automorphism σ that fixes pointwise all the order two points of Pic⁰(X), then we prove that X is hyperelliptic with σ being the unique hyperelliptic involution. As a corollary, if a nontrivial automorphisms of X fixes pointwise all the theta characteristics on X, then X is hyperelliptic with being its hyperelliptic involution.      

Ray class fields generated by torsion points of certain elliptic curves

We first normalize the derivative Weierstrass ???-function appearing in the Weierstrass equations which give rise to analytic parametrizations of elliptic curves, by the Dedekind ??-function. And, by making use of this normalization of ???, we associate a certain elliptic curve to a given imaginary quadratic field K and then generate an infinite family of ray class fields over K by adjoining to K torsion points of such an elliptic curve. We further construct some ray class invariants of imaginary quadratic fields by utilizing singular values of the normalization of ???, as the y-coordinate in the Weierstrass equation of this elliptic curve, which would be a partial result towards the Lang?CSchertz conjecture of constructing ray class fields over K by means of the Siegel?CRamachandra invariant.
