Kihara-like Z/6Z elliptic curve families

Shoichi Kihara constructed a family of elliptic curves with Mordell–Weil group $\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}^3$ (generic rank at least 3) in 2006. Kihara's family produces a number of rank 8 ...

Artin representations appearing in Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbf{Q}$, and let $K$ be a Galois number field. The Galois group $G=\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbf{Q})$ acts on the Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ and thus on the ...

Average number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points over twists of a variety

Let $p \gg 1$ be a sufficiently large prime. I recently stumbled across a fascinating fact about the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points on elliptic curves over finite fields. Specifically, we have: Fact ...

Ranks of elliptic curves over cubic fields

We are writing a paper on the ranks of elliptic curves over cubic fields. The curves of different torsion subgroups are created by the formulas in Jeon et al. and by our new parametrizations. D. Jeon,...

2-descent on elliptic curves, and units modulo squares of units

Setup: Let $p$ be a prime, let $f(x) \in \mathbb{Q}_p[x]$ be a separable monic cubic polynomial cutting out the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_{K_f}$ in the etale algebra $K_f := \mathbb{Q}_p[x]/(f(x))$, ...

Given a point $P$ on a genus-$1$ curve over $\mathbb{Q}_p$, is there an $R$ such that $2 \mid [P - R]$ and $x(\overline{P}) \neq x(\overline{R})$?

Let $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ be prime, and let $f \in \mathbb{Z}_p[x]$ be a quartic polynomial with nonzero discriminant. Let $C/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the genus-$1$ curve with affine equation $y^2 = f(x)$. Let $\...

Action of the Picard Scheme of an Elliptic Fibration

Suppose that we have a surface $X$ defined over a field $k$ (I am interested in $k$ being a number field) and an elliptic fibration $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$, i.e. $f$ is proper and almost all ...

Rational points and Tesla cards

I'm rapidly approaching 300,000 curves in my ongoing search for Mordell curves of rank >=8. Currently I'm finding that I have a bottleneck in the code that locates rational points on these curves. ...

Similar to a $d$-twist but over a cubic field

This question could be related to my old and Duality's newer questions. I am building a $\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}$ elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$: $$E: y^2+(t^3-3t^2+1)xy + t^3(t-1)^3y=x^2$$ For $...

Finding rational points via birational map

Let $C$ be an affine curve given by $p_C(x,y)=0$ where $$ p_C=2x^3y + 2xy^3 +x^3 + y^3 + 5x^2y + 5xy^2 + 2x^2 + 2y^2 + 2x^2y^2 + 2xy $$ and let $\overline{C}$ denote the projective closure of $C$. For ...

Brauer-Manin obstruction and affine curves

I'm looking for references that can justify to what extent is the following statement true: Statement. Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically integral curve over a number field $k$. Then the Brauer-Manin ...

Is there a correlation between the bifurcation points of dynamical system and the integral points of the elliptic curve $E_d$?

Motivated by an interest in the interplay between dynamical systems and elliptic curves also On a question of Mordell, I derived a dynamical system corresponding to the elliptic curve: $ E_d: Y^2 = X^...

Isogeny classes for elliptic curves over quadratic field

Question. Is it possible for an elliptic curve $E$ over quadratic field $K$ to have two separate (yet connected) isogeny classes? There are two $\mathbb{Z}/14\mathbb{Z}$ elliptic curves, $E_1$ and $...
