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.

Examples of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$

In general, for any integer $N$ and any fixed elliptic curve $E$, the elliptic curves $E'$ for which $E[N]\cong E'[N]$ as Galois modules (and such that the isomorphism respects the Weil pairing) are p …

Order of Ш (Sha)

No, there are no such examples known. In fact, with the current technology, the two questions are more or less equally hard. That's because for any given prime $p$, you can, in principle, establish fi …

Regulators of Number fields and Elliptic Curves

Let me first give you a heuristic "reason", why the regulator in the class number formula looks different from the regulator in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. It is often more convenient (a …

Does the equality of ranks imply equality of analytic ranks?

In general, it does not seem to be any easier to compare two elliptic curves than to say something about each individual curve. In other words, the only results in the direction that you are asking ab …

Analogue of j-invariant for CM fields

The simplest generalisation to abelian surfaces is, I believe, the statement (which is a theorem, not a conjecture) that the Igusa invariants of an abelian surface with CM by $K$ generate an abelian u …

The parity conjecture

Let me add a few remarks to the very nice CW answer already given. The parity conjecture (i.e. algebraic rank equals analytic rank modulo 2) is known for all elliptic curves over number fields (not …

The cyclic twist of elliptic curve is a principally polarized abelian variety

Usually, $E^L$ is not principally polarised. See E. Howe, Isogeny Classes of Abelian Varieties with no Principal Polarizations, where it is shown that under some mild hypotheses every polarisation of …

What heuristic evidence is there concerning the unboundedness or boundedness of Mordell-Weil...

Dear Felipe, as long as we restrict ourselves to elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, the only results known in this direction are that the 2, 3, 5, 7 and 13 primary torsion of Tate-Shafarevich groups c …

Mazur's Question on Mod $N$ Galois representations

In addition to Felipe's reference, you can also have a look at Tom Fisher's papers https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~taf1000/papers/congr7and11.html and https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~taf1000/papers/congr9.h …

Rank of jacobians of twists of hyperelliptic curves of genus one

If you are willing to assume finiteness of Sha, then the answer is "yes". The first claim, that for infinitely many $d$ (square-free, presumably?) this has a rational point, is easy and does not need …

Cassels Pairing for Fine Selmer groups

Flach has defined in [1] a Cassels-Tate pairing on very general Selmer groups, and the kernels of the pairing on both sides are the maximal divisible subgroups. But you need to be careful when applyin …
