An elliptic threefold and the Mordell–Weil lattices of its reductions

Let $T\!: y^2 = x^3 + a(t, s)x + b(t, s)$ be an elliptic threefold over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p > 3$. In other words, we have an elliptic curve over the function field $\...

Elliptic fibrations on some Kummer surface in characteristic $2$

In the question I ask about one elliptic fibration on the surface $$ K\!: y^2 + x_1x_2y = (x_1x_2)^2(x_1 + x_2 + 1) + (x_1 + x_2)^2. $$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $2$ such ...

Is there an infinite order $\mathbb{F}_{p}$-section for a certain elliptic surface $\mathcal{E}_n$?

Consider a natural number $n$, a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ (such that $p$ is prime, $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$, and $\sqrt[3]{2} \notin \mathbb{F}_p$), ...

What conditions are sufficient for two points to be independent in the Mordell-Weil group?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and an elliptic surface $$ \mathcal{E}\!: y^2 + a_1(t)xy + a_3(t)y = x^3 + a_2(t)x^2 + a_4(t)x + a_6(t), $$ where $a_i(t) \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$. I am mainly ...

Is there a way to calculate the Picard $\mathbb{F}_q$-number of an (rational or K3) elliptic surface?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and an elliptic surface $$ \mathcal{E}\!: y^2 + a_1(t)xy + a_3(t)y = x^3 + a_2(t)x^2 + a_4(t)x + a_6, $$ where $a_i(t) \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$. Is there a way ...

Is there a way to find any $\mathbb{F}_2(t)$-point on the elliptic curve $\mathcal{E}$?

Consider the ordinary elliptic curves $$ E\!:y_1^2 + x_1y_1 = x_1^3 + 1,\qquad E^\prime\!: y_2^2 + x_2y_2 = x_2^3 + x_2^2 + 1 $$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_2$. They are quadratic twists to each other....

Is there a way to find any non-trivial $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$-point on the given elliptic curve?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ (where $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$) and the elliptic curve $$ E\!:y^2 = x^3 + (t^6 + 1)^2 $$ over the univariate ...

Are there three ordinary elliptic curves $E$, $E_1$, $E_2$ such that $E^2 \cong E_1 \!\times\! E_2$?

Consider the elliptic curve $E\!: y^2 = x^3 + 1$ of $j$-invariant $0$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristics $p$. Let me remind that $E$ is ordinary (i.e., non-supersingular) iff $p ...

Linear systems on bielliptic surfaces

A bielliptic surface is a surface of type $S=E_1 \times E_2/G$ where $E_1, E_2$ are elliptic curves and $G$ is a finite group of translations of $E_1$ acting on $E_2$ such that $E_2/G=\mathbf{P}^1$. ...

Surfaces ruled over elliptic curves

Ground field $\Bbb{C}$. Algebraic category. Elliptic surfaces are those surfaces endowed with a morphism onto some smooth curve, with generic fiber an elliptic curve. Suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve ...
