Clifford algebras, Möbius transformations, Vahlen matrices, and B -loops

Jimmie Lawson (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we show that well-known relationships connecting the Clifford algebra on negative euclidean space, Vahlen matrices, and Möbius transformations extend to connections with the Möbius loop or gyrogroup on the open unit ball B in n -dimensional euclidean space n . One notable achievement is a compact, convenient formula for the Möbius loop operation a * b = ( a + b ) ( 1 - a b ) - 1 , where the operations on the right are those arising from the Clifford algebra (a formula comparable to ( w + z ) ( 1 + w ¯ z ) - 1 for the Möbius loop multiplication...

CM liftings of supersingular elliptic curves

Ben Kane (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Assuming GRH, we present an algorithm which inputs a prime p and outputs the set of fundamental discriminants D < 0 such that the reduction map modulo a prime above p from elliptic curves with CM by 𝒪 D to supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic p is surjective. In the algorithm we first determine an explicit constant D p so that | D | > D p implies that the map is necessarily surjective and then we compute explicitly the cases | D | < D p .
