Galois cohomologies of an elliptic curve

When thinking of cohomology as describing a defect to a functor being exact, it has to be expected that the first few $H^i$ appear more often. But there are of course higher coholomology groups and th …

Can the number of solutions $xy(x-y-1)=n$ for $x,y,n \in\mathbb Z$ be unbounded as $n$ varies?

With the transformation $X = -n/x$ and $Y= ny/x$, the curve becomes isomorphic to the Weierstrass model $$ E_n\colon \ \ Y^2 - X\ Y - n\ Y = X^3.$$ The points in question are exactly the integral poi …

Two queries on triangles, the sides of which have rational lengths

On the second question: There is the inequality $12\sqrt{3}A\leq P^2$ that needs to be satisfied first of all to get a triangle. Using Heron's formula for a triangle with sides $x$ and $y$, you are …

Relationship between Tate-Shafarevich group and the BSD conjecture

Firstly, the functional field result your state is due to Tate in his Bourbaki talk. In fact he proves that the finiteness of the $p$-primary part of Sha is enough for $p$ different from the character …

Is there an elliptic curve analogue to the 4-term exact sequence defining the unit and class...

As in the question $K$ is a number field and $E/K$ an elliptic curve. Let me start by saying that I think the best analogues are the following two short exact sequences (the first two "$/n$" means mod …

Ordinary primes vs supersingular primes

Well, yes, but no. So the function obtained by removing from the usual $L$-series of $E$ all the supersingular factors is probably not a very nice function. I doubt that it has an analytic continuatio …

Bad prime of torsor and original elliptic curve ; Definition of Tate–Shafarevich group $Ш(E/K)$

I fear you wish for too much here. If $Ш$ is finite, then we can represent each element by a torsor; each torsor has good reduction away from a finite set and the union of all bad places would then be …

Computing Mordell-Weil Groups without Rational Torsion

When there is a $2$-torsion point present then one should indeed use these isogenies to do a descent. One can do this over a number field as long as it is not too difficult to calculate the class grou …

About the reduction type of the Kodaira symbol of elliptic curves defined over p-adic local ...

The Kodaira symbol characterises the geometry of the special fibre, that is the structure over the algebraically closed field $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$. Good reduction means type I${}_0$, multiplicative re …

Geometric meaning of fiber of modular parameterization over a point of an elliptic curve?

If your elliptic curve $E$ has rank $1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, then there is a point $P$, a Heegner point, in $E(\mathbb{Q})$ with a special point $x=(E_x,C_x)$ in the fibre of $\psi$, i.e. such that $E_x …

How to get explicit unramified covers of an elliptic curve?

Let me expand Felipe's answer a bit. Vélu's formulae given in the very readable short paper [1] are very easy to use. For instance if you are given a $n$-torsion point one can immediately write down …

Primes of the form $p=u^2+1$ and number of points on the elliptic curve $x^3+a x z^2=y^2 z$

Look at Section 18.4 in Ireland-Rosen "A classical introduction to modern number theory". Note $p\equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ and $p = \pi\cdot \bar{\pi}$ with $\pi = 1- iu \equiv 1 \pmod{2+2i}$. Let $\lambda: …

Tate-Shafarevich groups under finite Galois field extensions

The remark added to the question shows that the kernel of $Ш(E/F) \to Ш(E/L)^G$ is finite where $G$ is the finite Galois group of $L/F$. $\DeclareMathOperator{\coker}{coker}$ Here is an argument why t …

Galois cohomology of Tate modules

Let $S$ be a finite set containing all places where an elliptic curve $E$ has bad reduction as well as $p$ and $\infty$. Write $T$ for $T_pE$ and $G_S$ for the Galois group of the maximal extension o …
