Refined Kodaira classes and conductors of twisted elliptic curves

Jerzy Browkin, Daniel Davies

Similarity:

We consider elliptic curves defined over ℚ. It is known that for a prime p > 3 quadratic twists permute the Kodaira classes, and curves belonging to a given class have the same conductor exponent. It is not the case for p = 2 and 3. We establish a refinement of the Kodaira classification, ensuring that the permutation property is recovered by {refined} classes in the cases p = 2 and 3. We also investigate the nonquadratic twists. In the last part of the paper we discuss the number...

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.

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.
