An elliptic curve is an algebraic curve of genus one with some additional properties. Questions with this tag will often have the top-level tags nt.number-theory or ag.algebraic-geometry. Note also the tag arithmetic-geometry as well as some related tags such as rational-points, abelian-varieties, heights. Please do not use this tag for questions related to ellipses; instead use conic-sections.

Torsion points with exactly one singular prime (on elliptic curves)

The status of your "implicit assumption" isn't quite clear -- do you want all primes where $E$ has bad reduction to be in $S_P$, or only a subset of them? If you take E to be Cremona's 27a1, $y^2 + y …

Can we find a set of elliptic curves over rationals associated with $f$?.

This has already had some votes to close, but I'll see if I can answer it anyway... The answer is "no". There are lots of motivic L-functions that are not elliptic curve L-functions, just because the …

Vanishing of L-function of elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$

Just to pick up on something mentioned in @MyNinthAccount's answer: If you just want to determine whether or not $L(E, 1) = 0$, then there is another approach, which doesn't involve computing $L(E, …

Non-modular elliptic curves

It is a widely believed conjecture that all elliptic curves, over any number field $K$, are modular (in the sense that there exists an automorphic representation [*] $\pi$ of $\operatorname{GL}_2 / K$ …

Torsion points of CM elliptic curves

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, and $\mathfrak{f}$ an integral ideal of $K$ which is stable under complex conjugation. Assume that $(1 + \mathfrak{f} ) \cap \mathcal{O}_K^\times = \{1\}$. Th …

Q-curves and twisting

An elliptic curve $E$ over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ is called a $\mathbb{Q}$-curve if it is isogenous (over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$) to all its Galois conjugates -- see Are Q-curves now known to be mod …

Supersingular elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$

In fact, this cannot happen: an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is supersingular if and only if its associated mod $p$ Galois representation is irreducible, but if it is irreducible as a representa …

Does the p-adic Tate module of an elliptic curve with ordinary reduction decompose?

Serre has shown that there exists a complementary subspace invariant under the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ if and only if E has complex multiplication. Otherwise the image of Galois is open in the Bore …

The existence of an elliptic curve with a specific Galois representation induced by a character

In this context, if $\rho$ is a mod $\ell$ representation of $Gal(\overline{F} / F)$, and $A$ is an elliptic curve over an extension $F' / F$, then the statement "$A[\ell] \cong \rho$" needs a little …

Growth of Coefficients of cusp forms

It's worth distinguishing between the prime coefficients $a_p$, and the coefficients $a_n$ for general $n$. Let's look at $a_p$ first. Firstly: for elliptic curves, it is fairly easy and elementary t …

Frobenius actions on de Rham cohomology of ordinary elliptic curves

It's important to be clear that this map on $H^1_{\mathrm{dR}}$ overlies a highly non-trivial map on the base-ring $R$. You can imagine a case where $R$ is something like $\mathbf{Z}_p\langle X \rangl …

Theorem 14.4 of Kato's paper in Asterisque 295 (2004), on page 236, says: Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $\mathbf{Q}$ such that there is a surjective homomorphism $J_1(N) \to A$ for some integ …

Why does $[I](P)=0$ ($P\in E$) imply $[\psi(I)](P)=0$ ? ($\psi$ is Hecke character of ellipt...

This is essentially the same as your other recent CM-theory question, in a mild disguise; for both questions the point is that $\psi(I)$ is a generator of $I$. This follows easily from the fact that $ …

Extensions of the modularity theorem

Yes, this is a very active area -- one of the major themes of current research in number theory. Much of the recent work has focussed on proving something slightly weaker, but easier to get at, than …

How do you calculate the Euler factors of the imprimitive symmetric square at primes with ba...

The factor $D_r$ is easy to compute (much easier than $\mathcal{D}_r$). Basically, you just need to find the eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ of Frobenius on $H^1_\ell(E)^{I_r}$ (i.e. the reciprocal roots of t …
