Could efficient solutions of $x^2+n y^2=A$ be related to integer factorization?

Let $n$ be positive integer with unknown factorization and $A$ integer with known factorization. According to pari/gp developers pari can efficiently find all solutions of: $$x^2+n y^2=A \qquad (1)$$ ...

Fixed $a_p=p+1-\#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ and $a_p \ne 0$ on an elliptic curve infinitely often for fixed curve over the rationals?

In this and this question we show that if $p=27a^2+27a+7$ is prime, then the order of the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3+2$ modulo $p$ is either $p$ or $p+2$. Q1 Can we unconditionally show that the order ...

When $p(x)^2 \mid f(g(x))$?

Let $f(x),g(x),p(x)$ be non-constant polynomials with rational coefficients. Is it true that for all $f$ exist $g,p$ such that $p(x)^2 \mid f(g(x))$? Partial results: $f(g(x))$ is divisible by square ...
