Mean-periodicity and zeta functions

Ivan Fesenko, Guillaume Ricotta, Masatoshi Suzuki (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper establishes new bridges between zeta functions in number theory and modern harmonic analysis, namely between the class of complex functions, which contains the zeta functions of arithmetic schemes and closed with respect to product and quotient, and the class of mean-periodic functions in several spaces of functions on the real line. In particular, the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of the zeta function of an arithmetic scheme with its expected analytic shape is shown...

Modular parametrizations of certain elliptic curves

Matija Kazalicki, Koji Tasaka (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Kaneko and Sakai (2013) recently observed that certain elliptic curves whose associated newforms (by the modularity theorem) are given by the eta-quotients can be characterized by a particular differential equation involving modular forms and Ramanujan-Serre differential operator. In this paper, we study certain properties of the modular parametrization associated to the elliptic curves over ℚ, and as a consequence we generalize and explain some of their findings.

Mordell-Weil ranks of families of elliptic curves associated to Pythagorean triples

Bartosz Naskręcki (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the family of elliptic curves y² = x(x-a²)(x-b²) parametrized by Pythagorean triples (a,b,c). We prove that for a generic triple the lower bound of the rank of the Mordell-Weil group over ℚ is 1, and for some explicitly given infinite family the rank is 2. To each family we attach an elliptic surface fibered over the projective line. We show that the lower bounds for the rank are optimal, in the sense that for each generic fiber of such an elliptic surface its corresponding Mordell-Weil...
