On the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for modular elliptic curves over totally real fields

Matteo Longo (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let E / F be a modular elliptic curve defined over a totally real number field F and let φ be its associated eigenform. This paper presents a new method, inspired by a recent work of Bertolini and Darmon, to control the rank of E over suitable quadratic imaginary extensions K / F . In particular, this argument can also be applied to the cases not covered by the work of Kolyvagin and Logachëv, that is, when [ F : ] is even and φ not new at any prime.

On the de Rham and p -adic realizations of the elliptic polylogarithm for CM elliptic curves

Kenichi Bannai, Shinichi Kobayashi, Takeshi Tsuji (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this paper, we give an explicit description of the de Rham and p -adic polylogarithms for elliptic curves using the Kronecker theta function. In particular, consider an elliptic curve E defined over an imaginary quadratic field 𝕂 with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers 𝒪 𝕂 of 𝕂 . Note that our condition implies that 𝕂 has class number one. Assume in addition that E has good reduction above a prime p 5 unramified in 𝒪 𝕂 . In this case, we prove that the specializations of the p -adic elliptic...

On the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c²

Michael A. Bennett, Imin Chen, Sander R. Dahmen, Soroosh Yazdani (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We study coprime integer solutions to the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c² using Galois representations and modular forms. This case represents perhaps the last natural family of generalized Fermat equations descended from spherical cases which is amenable to resolution using the so-called modular method. Our techniques involve an elaborate combination of ingredients, ranging from ℚ-curves and a delicate multi-Frey approach, to appeal to intricate image of inertia arguments.

On the extendability of elliptic surfaces of rank two and higher

Angelo Felice Lopez, Roberto Muñoz, José Carlos Sierra (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study threefolds X r having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise results are then proved for Weierstrass fibrations, both of rank two and higher. In particular we prove that a Weierstrass fibration of rank two that is not a K3 surface is not hyperplane section of a locally complete intersection threefold and we give some conditions, for many embeddings...

On the number of elliptic curves with CM cover large algebraic fields

Gerhard Frey, Moshe Jarden (2005)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Elliptic curves with CM unveil a new phenomenon in the theory of large algebraic fields. Rather than drawing a line between 0 and 1 or 1 and 2 they give an example where the line goes beween 2 and 3 and another one where the line goes between 3 and 4 .

On the orthogonal symmetry of L-functions of a family of Hecke Grössencharacters

J. B. Conrey, N. C. Snaith (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

The family of symmetric powers of an L-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from the perspectives of classical analytic number theory and random matrix theory, especially focusing on evidence for the symmetry type of the family. In particular, we investigate the values at the central point and give evidence that this family can be modeled by...

On the prime factors of non-congruent numbers

Lindsey Reinholz, Blair K. Spearman, Qiduan Yang (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give infinitely many new families of non-congruent numbers where the first prime factor of each number is of the form 8k+1 and the rest of the prime factors have the form 8k+3. Products of elements in each family are shown to be non-congruent.
