On ranks of Jacobian varieties in prime degree extensions

Dave Mendes da Costa (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

T. Dokchitser [Acta Arith. 126 (2007)] showed that given an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K then there are infinitely many degree 3 extensions L/K for which the rank of E(L) is larger than E(K). In the present paper we show that the same is true if we replace 3 by any prime number. This result follows from a more general result establishing a similar property for the Jacobian varieties associated with curves defined by an equation of the shape f(y) = g(x) where f and g are polynomials...

On rational torsion points of central -curves

Fumio Sairaiji, Takuya Yamauchi (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let E be a central -curve over a polyquadratic field k . In this article we give an upper bound for prime divisors of the order of the k -rational torsion subgroup E t o r s ( k ) (see Theorems 1.1 and 1.2). The notion of central -curves is a generalization of that of elliptic curves over . Our result is a generalization of Theorem 2 of Mazur [12], and it is a precision of the upper bounds of Merel [15] and Oesterlé [17].

On second 2-descent and non-congruent numbers

Yi Ouyang, Shenxing Zhang (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We use the so-called second 2-descent method to find several series of non-congruent numbers. We consider three different 2-isogenies of the congruent elliptic curves and their duals, and find a necessary condition to estimate the size of the images of the 2-Selmer groups in the Selmer groups of the isogeny.

On some equations over finite fields

Ioulia Baoulina (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper, following L. Carlitz we consider some special equations of n variables over the finite field of q elements. We obtain explicit formulas for the number of solutions of these equations, under a certain restriction on n and q .

On special values of theta functions of genus two

Ehud De Shalit, Eyal Z. Goren (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We study a certain finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the Hilbert class field of a quartic CM field. It consists of special values of certain theta functions of genus 2 and is analogous to the group of Siegel units. Questions of integrality of these specials values are related to the arithmetic of the Siegel moduli space.
