Elliptic analogue of primes of the form $x^2 + 1$

I have a project in mind for an undergraduate to investigate next quarter -- a curiosity really, but I'm surprised I can't find it in the literature. I do not want a detailed analysis here... but ...

Why are solutions to $\sqrt[k]{x_1^k+x_2^k+x_3^k+x_4^k}$ for $k=2,3$ curiously smooth?

Given an integer solution $s_m$ to the system, $$x_1^2+x_2^2+\dots+x_n^2 = y^2$$ $$x_1^3+x_2^3+\dots+x_n^3 = z^3$$ and define the function, $$F(s_m) = x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n$$ For $n\geq3$, using an ...

Prime divisors of the norm of the first coefficient of an elliptic newform at width-1 cusps.

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N$ and let $f$ be its newform. Suppose $p \geq 5$ is a prime such that $p^2 \mid N$. We assume $f$ is $p$-minimal, which is equivalent to that the ...

Can you prove and/or generalize this formula involving the Möbius function at n = square free numbers for elliptic curve related sequence in the OEIS?

Let $g(n)$ be the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function: $$g(n) = \sum\limits_{d|n} d \cdot \mu(d)$$ and let $f(x,y)$ be the elliptic equation: $$f(x,y)=x^3 - x^2 - y^2 - y$$ Show that the ...

How to apply Pohlig Hellman using a very limited set of auxiliary inputs in that case?

So I was reading about Talotti, Paier, and Miculan - ECC’s Achilles’ Heel: Unveiling Weak Keys in Standardized Curves. The underlying idea is to lift the discrete logarithm problem to $\mathrm{prime}−...

Prime splitting in the division field of an elliptic curve

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with good reduction at two distinct primes $p, \ell$. Suppose the mod $\ell$ Galois representation associated to $E$ is surjective. Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(E[\ell])$ ...

On the elliptic curve $X^3+6d^2X-7d^3 = Y^2$ and the ellipse $p^2+3q^2-d = 0$?

From the ellipse $p^2+3q^2 - d = 0$ we can find a solution to the equation, $$a^3+b^3+c^3 = (c+m)^3$$ if we solve the elliptic curve, $$E:=X^3+6d^2X-7d^3 = Y^2$$ More details can be found in this MSE ...
