On the cuspidal divisor class group of a Drinfeld modular curve.
In this paper, we give an explicit description of the de Rham and -adic polylogarithms for elliptic curves using the Kronecker theta function. In particular, consider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic field with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers of . Note that our condition implies that has class number one. Assume in addition that has good reduction above a prime unramified in . In this case, we prove that the specializations of the -adic elliptic...
In this article the discrete logarithm problem in degree 0 class groups of curves over finite fields given by plane models is studied. It is proven that the discrete logarithm problem for non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 (given by plane models of degree 4) can be solved in an expected time of , where is the cardinality of the ground field. Moreover, it is proven that for every fixed natural number the following holds: We consider the discrete logarithm problem for curves given by plane models...
We study coprime integer solutions to the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c² using Galois representations and modular forms. This case represents perhaps the last natural family of generalized Fermat equations descended from spherical cases which is amenable to resolution using the so-called modular method. Our techniques involve an elaborate combination of ingredients, ranging from ℚ-curves and a delicate multi-Frey approach, to appeal to intricate image of inertia arguments.
