What are the possible singular fibers of an elliptic fibration over a higher dimensional base?
An elliptic fibration is a proper morphism $Y\rightarrow B$ between varieties such that the fiber over a general point of the base $B$ is a smooth curve of genus one.
It is often required for the ...

For how many primes does an elliptic curve over a totally imaginary field have supersingular reduction?
An elliptic curve over a finite field, $k$, of characteristic p is called supersingular if it has no $p$-torsion over $k^{\mathrm{alg}}$, or equivalently, if $\mathrm{End}(E)$ is an order in a ...

Elliptic curves of rank 1 over number fields
I am interested what is known about the following statement:
For every number field $K$, there exists an elliptic curve $E$ defined over $K$ with algebraic rank equal to $1$.
Is this statement known ...

A property of supersingular $j$-invariants (reference request)
Edit 2: For those who understandably don't want to read such a long post, I think Voloch's suggestion reduces the problem to asking whether $j$-invariants of supersingular curves are 3rd powers in $\...

Evaluation of $E_{\ell,2}$ on supersingular curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$
As mentioned in an answer to Modularity of $E_2$ on congruence subgroups, there exist modular forms $E_{\ell,2}$ of level $\Gamma_{0}(\ell)$ and weight 2, with $q$-expansion $E_{\ell,2}(q)=E_{2}(q)-\...

State of the art on attempts to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem through transfering the problem to a weaker curve
Let an elliptic curve $E$, and 2 points on such curve $P$ and $O$ the methods I’m talking about consist in creating a weaker elliptic curve $F$ and mapping $P$ and $O$ to $F$ while successfully ...
