We remark that Tate’s algorithm to determine the minimal model of an elliptic curve can be stated in a way that characterises Kodaira types from the minimum of $v\left(a_i\right)/i$. As an application, we deduce the behaviour of Kodaira types in tame extensions of local fields.

The Generalized Elliptic Curves $(GECs)$ are pairs $(Q,T)$, where $T$ is a family of triples $(x,y,z)$ of “points” from the set $Q$ characterized by equalities of the form $x.y=z$, where the law $x.y$ makes $Q$ into a totally symmetric quasigroup. Isotopic loops arise by setting $x*y=u.(x.y)$. When $(x.y).(a.b)=(x.a).(y.b)$, identically $(Q,T)$ is an entropic $GEC$ and $(Q,*)$ is an abelian group. Similarly, a terentropic $GEC$ may be characterized by $x^2.(a.b)=(x.a)(x.b)$ and $(Q,*)$ is then a Commutative Moufang Loop $(CML)$. If in addition $x^2=x$, we have Hall $GECs$ and $(Q,*)$ is an exponent $3$

We survey recent work on arithmetic analogues of ordinary and partial differential equations.

Let $f\left(x\right)$ be a cubic, monic and separable polynomial over a field of characteristic $p\ge 3$ and let $E$ be the elliptic curve given by $y^2=f\left(x\right)$. In this paper we prove that the coefficient at $x^{\frac{1}{2}p(p-1)}$ in the $p$–th division polynomial of $E$ equals the coefficient at $x^{p-1}$ in $f{\left(x\right)}^{\frac{1}{2}(p-1)}$. For elliptic curves over a finite field of characteristic $p$, the first coefficient is zero if and only if $E$ is supersingular, which by a classical criterion of Deuring (1941) is also equivalent to the vanishing of the second coefficient. So the zero loci...

We exhibit a family of dynamical systems arising from rational points on elliptic curves in an attempt to mimic the familiar toral automorphisms. At the non-archimedean primes, a continuous map is constructed on the local elliptic curve whose topological entropy is given by the local canonical height. Also, a precise formula for the periodic points is given. There follows a discussion of how these local results may be glued together to give a map on the adelic curve. We are able to give a map whose...

Dans ce texte, on construit sur un corps local de caractéristique strictement positive, un analogue $p$-adique aux formes de Jacobi méromorphes complexes $D_L(z;\varphi )$, étudiées dans [3] et [4]. Le théorème principal établit que les formes de Jacobi $p$-adiques obtenues satisfont deux relations de distribution et d’inversion additives. L’analogue $p$-adique à une formule de Weber généralisée est prouvé comme corollaire du théorème principal.

We show a $p$-parity result in a $D_{2p^n}$-extension of number fields $L/K$ ($p\ge 5$) for the twist $1\oplus \eta \oplus \tau$: $W(E/K,1\oplus \eta \oplus \tau )={(-1)}^{〈1\oplus \eta \oplus \tau ,X_p(E/L)〉}$, where $E$ is an elliptic curve over $K$, $\eta$ and $\tau$ are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree $2$ of $\mathrm{Gal}(L/K)=D_{2p^n}$, and $X_p(E/L)$ is the $p$-Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between ${\epsilon }_0$-factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the $p$-parity conjecture (using...
