Complex Hyperbolic Surfaces of Abelian Type

Holzapfel, R. (2004)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11G15, 11G18, 14H52, 14J25, 32L07.We call a complex (quasiprojective) surface of hyperbolic type, iff – after removing finitely many points and/or curves – the universal cover is the complex two-dimensional unit ball. We characterize abelian surfaces which have a birational transform of hyperbolic type by the existence of a reduced divisor with only elliptic curve components and maximal singularity rate (equal to 4). We discover a Picard modular surface of...

Computing the cardinality of CM elliptic curves using torsion points

François Morain (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let / ¯ be an elliptic curve having complex multiplication by a given quadratic order of an imaginary quadratic field 𝕂 . The field of definition of is the ring class field Ω of the order. If the prime p splits completely in Ω , then we can reduce modulo one the factors of p and get a curve E defined over 𝔽 p . The trace of the Frobenius of E is known up to sign and we need a fast way to find this sign, in the context of the Elliptic Curve Primality Proving algorithm (ECPP). For this purpose, we propose...

Constructing elliptic curves over finite fields using double eta-quotients

Andreas Enge, Reinhard Schertz (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We examine a class of modular functions for Γ 0 ( N ) whose values generate ring class fields of imaginary quadratic orders. This fact leads to a new algorithm for constructing elliptic curves with complex multiplication. The difficulties arising when the genus of X 0 ( N ) is not zero are overcome by computing certain modular polynomials.Being a product of four η -functions, the proposed modular functions can be viewed as a natural generalisation of the functions examined by Weber and usually employed to construct...

Denominators of Igusa class polynomials

Kristin Lauter, Bianca Viray (2014)

Publications mathématiques de Besançon

In [22], the authors proved an explicit formula for the arithmetic intersection number CM ( K ) . G 1 on the Siegel moduli space of abelian surfaces, under some assumptions on the quartic CM field K . These intersection numbers allow one to compute the denominators of Igusa class polynomials, which has important applications to the construction of genus 2 curves for use in cryptography. One of the main tools in the proof was a previous result of the authors [21] generalizing the singular moduli formula of Gross...

Explicit bounds for split reductions of simple abelian varieties

Jeffrey D. Achter (2012)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let X / K be an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field; we study whether the reductions X 𝔭 tend to be simple, too. We show that if End ( X ) is a definite quaternion algebra, then the reduction X 𝔭 is geometrically isogenous to the self-product of an absolutely simple abelian variety for 𝔭 in a set of positive density, while if X is of Mumford type, then X 𝔭 is simple for almost all 𝔭 . For a large class of abelian varieties with commutative absolute endomorphism ring, we give an explicit upper bound...

Galois covers between K 3 surfaces

Gang Xiao (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We give a classification of finite group actions on a K 3 surface giving rise to K 3 quotients, from the point of view of their fixed points. It is shown that except two cases, each such group gives rise to a unique type of fixed point set.
