Elliptic curves over function fields with a large set of integral points

Ricardo P. Conceição (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We construct isotrivial and non-isotrivial elliptic curves over q ( t ) with an arbitrarily large set of separable integral points. As an application of this construction, we prove that there are isotrivial log-general type varieties over q ( t ) with a Zariski dense set of separable integral points. This provides a counterexample to a natural translation of the Lang-Vojta conjecture to the function field setting. We also show that our main result provides examples of elliptic curves with an explicit and arbitrarily...

Etale coverings of a Mumford curve

Marius Van Der Put (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let the field K be complete w.r.t. a non-archimedean valuation. Let X / K be a Mumford curve, i.e. the irreducible components of the stable reduction of X have genus 0. The abelian etale coverings of X are constructed using the analytic uniformization Ω X and the theta-functions on X . For a local field K one rediscovers G . Frey’s description of the maximal abelian unramified extension of the field of rational functions of X .

Factorial Fermat curves over the rational numbers

Peter Malcolmson, Frank Okoh, Vasuvedan Srinivas (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A polynomial f in the set {Xⁿ+Yⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ+Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-1} lends itself to an elementary proof of the following theorem: if the coordinate ring over ℚ of f is factorial, then n is one or two. We give a list of problems suggested by this result.

Field of moduli versus field of definition for cyclic covers of the projective line

Aristides Kontogeorgis (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give a criterion, based on the automorphism group, for certain cyclic covers of the projective line to be defined over their field of moduli. An example of a cyclic cover of the complex projective line with field of moduli that can not be defined over is also given.
