On a characterization of Shimura's elliptic curve over ℚ(√37)
On a conjecture of Watkins
Watkins has conjectured that if is the rank of the group of rational points of an elliptic curve over the rationals, then divides the modular parametrisation degree. We show, for a certain class of , chosen to make things as easy as possible, that this divisibility would follow from the statement that a certain -adic deformation ring is isomorphic to a certain Hecke ring, and is a complete intersection. However, we show also that the method developed by Taylor, Wiles and others, to prove...

On a family of elliptic curves of rank at least 2
Let be a family of elliptic curves over , where is a positive integer and , are distinct odd primes. We study the torsion part and the rank of . More specifically, we prove that the torsion subgroup of is trivial and the -rank of this family is at least 2, whenever , and with neither nor dividing .

On congruent primes and class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields
We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not congruent. As a result, we get additional information on the possible sizes of Tate-Shafarevich groups of the associated elliptic curves. We also present a related criterion for primes p such that divides the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ℚ(√-p)....

On elementary equivalence, isomorphism and isogeny
Motivated by recent work of Florian Pop, we study the connections between three notions of equivalence of function fields: isomorphism, elementary equivalence, and the condition that each of a pair of fields can be embedded in the other, which we call isogeny. Some of our results are purely geometric: we give an isogeny classification of Severi-Brauer varieties and quadric surfaces. These results are applied to deduce new instances of “elementary equivalence implies isomorphism”: for all genus zero...
On elliptic curves and random matrix theory
Rubinstein has produced a substantial amount of data about the even parity quadratic twists of various elliptic curves, and compared the results to predictions from random matrix theory. We use the method of Heegner points to obtain a comparable (yet smaller) amount of data for the case of odd parity. We again see that at least one of the principal predictions of random matrix theory is well-evidenced by the data.

On families of 9-congruent elliptic curves
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.
