Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curves Over Supersimple Fields

It is proved that if F is an infinite field with characteristicdifferent from 2, whose theory is supersimple, and C is an ellipticor hyperelliptic curve over F with generic ‘modulus’,then C has a generic F-rational point. The notion of generityhere is in the sense of the supersimple field F.     

On Certain Uniformity Properties of Curves Over Function Fields

A uniform version of the Shafarevich Conjecture for function fields (Theorem of Parshin–Arakelov) is proved, together with a uniform version of the geometric Mordell conjecture (Theorem of Manin). Such results are generalized to base varieties of arbitrary dimension (i.e. function fields of arbitrary transcendence degree).     

Legendre Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields

We show that every elliptic curve over a finite field of odd characteristic whose number of rational points is divisible by 4 is isogenous to an elliptic curve in Legendre form, with the sole exception of a minimal respectively maximal elliptic curve. We also collect some results concerning the supersingular Legendre parameters.     

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.     

Normal Rational Curves Over Prime Fields

It is shown that in the projective spaces PG(n,p),p prime, 2 n p-2, the normal rational curves are the only (p+1)-arcs fixed by a projective group G isomorphic to PSL(2,p).     

On the Density of Elliptic Curves

We show that 17.9% of all elliptic curves over Q, ordered by their exponential height, are semistable, and that there is a positive density subset of elliptic curves for which the root numbers are uniformly distributed. Moreover, for any > 1/6 (resp. > 1/12) the set of Frey curves (resp. all elliptic curves) for which the generalized Szpiro Conjecture |(E)| N _E ¹² is false has density zero. This implies that the ABC Conjecture holds for almost all Frey triples. These results remain true if we use the logarithmic or the Faltings height. The proofs make use of the fibering argument in the square-free sieve of Gouvêa and Mazur. We also obtain conditional as well as unconditional lower bounds for the number of curves with Mordell–Weil rank 0 and 2, respectively.     

Rank of Elliptic Curves over almost Separably Closed Fields

Let E be an elliptic curve over a finitely generated infinitefield K. Let K^s denote a separable closure of K, an elementof the Galois group G_K=Gal(K^s/K), and K^s() the invariant subfieldof K^s. If the characteristic of K is not 2 and belongs to asuitable open subgroup of G_K, then E(K^s()) has infinite rank.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 11G05.

Explicit Classification for Torsion Subgroups of Rational Points of Elliptic Curves

We study the classification of elliptic curves E over the rationals ℚ according to the torsion sugroups E _tors(ℚ). More precisely, we classify those elliptic curves with E _tors(ℚ) being cyclic with even orders. We also give explicit formulas for generators of E _tors(ℚ). These results, together with the recent results of K. Ono for the non-cyclic E _tors(ℚ), completely solve the problem of the explicit classification and parameterization when E has a rational point of order 2.

Torsion Zero-Cycles on a Product of Canonical Lifts of Elliptic Curves

Let X be a surface over a p-adic field with good reduction and let Y be its special fiber. We write T(X) and T(Y) for the kernels of the Albanese maps of X and Y, respectively. Then, F(X) = T(X)/T(X)_div is conjectured to be finite, where T(X)_div is the maximal divisible subgroup of T(X). Furthermore, F(X) is conjectured to be isomorphic to T(Y) modulo p-primary torsion. We show that the p-primary torsion subgroup of F(X) can be arbitrary large even though we fix the special fiber Y.

A Formula for the Number of Elliptic Curves with Exceptional Primes

We prove a conjecture of Duke on the number of elliptic curves over the rationals of bounded height which have exceptional primes.     

On p-Adic Heights in Families of Elliptic Curves

The non-degeneracy of the canonical p-adic height pairing definedby Perrin-Riou and Schneider on an elliptic curve over a numberfield with good, ordinary reduction is still unknown. Following the work done for the real-valued pairing, the behaviourof the p-adic height is analysed as a point varies on a sectionof a family of elliptic curves, and so new information is obtainedabout this pairing. In particular, the variation is p-adicallycontinuous and the non-degeneracy of a set of sections can bechecked simultaneously for almost all elements of the family.The paper contains some conjectures about the valuation of thep-adic regulator and its consequences for the growth of theMordell–Weil group in cyclotomic Z_p-extensions.     

On the Norm Equation Over Function Fields

If K is an algebraic function field of one variable over analgebraically closed field k and F is a finite extension ofK, then any element a of K can be written as a norm of someb in F by Tsen's theorem. All zeros and poles of a lead to zerosand poles of b, but in general additional zeros and poles occur.The paper shows how this number of additional zeros and polesof b can be restricted in terms of the genus of K, respectivelyF. If k is the field of all complex numbers, then we use Abel'stheorem concerning the existence of meromorphic functions ona compact Riemann surface. From this, the general case of characteristic0 can be derived by means of principles from model theory, sincethe theory of algebraically closed fields is model-complete.Some of these results also carry over to the case of characteristicp>0 using standard arguments from valuation theory.
