Quasi-modular forms attached to elliptic curves, I

Hossein Movasati (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In the present text we give a geometric interpretation of quasi-modular forms using moduli of elliptic curves with marked elements in their de Rham cohomologies. In this way differential equations of modular and quasi-modular forms are interpreted as vector fields on such moduli spaces and they can be calculated from the Gauss-Manin connection of the corresponding universal family of elliptic curves. For the full modular group such a differential equation is calculated and it turns out to be the...

Rang de courbes elliptiques avec groupe de torsion non trivial

Odile Lecacheux (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

On construit des courbes elliptiques sur ( T ) de rang au moins 3, avec un sous-groupe de torsion non trivial. Par spécialisation, des courbes elliptiques de rang 5 et 6 sur sont obtenues.

Rank of elliptic curves associated to Brahmagupta quadrilaterals

Farzali Izadi, Foad Khoshnam, Arman Shamsi Zargar (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We construct a family of elliptic curves with six parameters, arising from a system of Diophantine equations, whose rank is at least five. To do so, we use the Brahmagupta formula for the area of cyclic quadrilaterals (p³,q³,r³,s³) not necessarily representing genuine geometric objects. It turns out that, as parameters of the curves, the integers p,q,r,s along with the extra integers u,v satisfy u⁶+v⁶+p⁶+q⁶ = 2(r⁶+s⁶), uv = pq, which, by previous work, has infinitely many integer solutions.

Ranks of quadratic twists of elliptic curves

Mark Watkins, Stephen Donnelly, Noam D. Elkies, Tom Fisher, Andrew Granville, Nicholas F. Rogers (2014)

Publications mathématiques de Besançon

We report on a large-scale project to investigate the ranks of elliptic curves in a quadratic twist family, focussing on the congruent number curve. Our methods to exclude candidate curves include 2-Selmer, 4-Selmer, and 8-Selmer tests, the use of the Guinand-Weil explicit formula, and even 3-descent in a couple of cases. We find that rank 6 quadratic twists are reasonably common (though still quite difficult to find), while rank 7 twists seem much more rare. We also describe our inability to find...
