Are there connections between Calabi-Yau manifolds and number theory?
I am interested in understanding whether there are any significant connections between Calabi-Yau manifolds and number theory. Calabi-Yau manifolds are central objects in algebraic geometry and string ...

Elkies' supersingularity theorem in higher dimension
The following is a theorem of Elkies:
Let $X$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that the action of Frobenius on $H^1(\mathcal{O}, X)$ is zero.
...

weight 4 eigenforms with rational coefficients---is it reasonable to expect they all come from Calabi-Yaus?
A weight 2 modular form which happens to be a normalised cuspidal eigenform with rational coefficients has a natural geometric avatar---namely an elliptic curve over the rationals. It seems to be a ...

Elkies' supersingularity theorem in higher dimension (in terms of the associated Newton polygon)
Elkies' supersingularity theorem: Given an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $E$ is supersingular over $\mathbb{F}_p$.
I have seen another post on ...
