Counting elliptic curves of bounded Faltings height

Ruthi Hortsch (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of elliptic curves over ℚ with bounded Faltings height. Silverman (1986) showed that the Faltings height for elliptic curves over number fields can be expressed in terms of modular functions and the minimal discriminant of the elliptic curve. We use this to recast the problem as one of counting lattice points in a particular region in ℝ².

Lang-Trotter and Sato-Tate distributions in single and double parametric families of elliptic curves

Min Sha, Igor E. Shparlinski (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We obtain new results concerning the Lang-Trotter conjectures on Frobenius traces and Frobenius fields over single and double parametric families of elliptic curves. We also obtain similar results with respect to the Sato-Tate conjecture. In particular, we improve a result of A. C. Cojocaru and the second author (2008) towards the Lang-Trotter conjecture on average for polynomially parameterised families of elliptic curves when the parameter runs through a set of rational numbers of...

On families of 9-congruent elliptic curves

Tom Fisher (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We compute equations for the families of elliptic curves 9-congruent to a given elliptic curve. We use these to find infinitely many non-trivial pairs of 9-congruent elliptic curves over ℚ, i.e. pairs of non-isogenous elliptic curves over ℚ whose 9-torsion subgroups are isomorphic as Galois modules.
