Generalization of a problem of Diophantus
We present a multidimensional version of the Three Gap Theorem of Steinhaus, proving that the number of the so-called primitive arcs is bounded in any dimension.
Given an elliptic curve E and a finite subgroup G, Vélu's formulae concern to a separable isogeny IG: E → E' with kernel G. In particular, for a point P ∈ E these formulae express the first elementary symmetric polynomial on the abscissas of the points in the set P+G as the difference between the abscissa of IG(P) and the first elementary symmetric polynomial on the abscissas of the nontrivial points of the kernel G. On the other hand, they express Weierstrass coefficients of E' as polynomials in...
