Reduction of elliptic curves over imaginary quadratic number fields

Reduction of elliptic curves over certain real quadratic number fields

The main result of this paper is that an elliptic curve having good reduction everywhere over a real quadratic field has a 2-rational point under certain hypotheses (primarily on class numbers of related fields). It extends the earlier case in which no ramification at 2 is allowed. Small fields satisfying the hypotheses are then found, and in four cases the non-existence of such elliptic curves...

Modular Forms and Elliptic Curves over Imaginary Quadratic Fields

Periods of Cusp Forms and Elliptic Curves over Imaginary Quadratic Fields

In this paper we explore the arithmetic correspondence between, on the one hand, (isogeny classes of) elliptic curves E defined over an imaginary quadratic field K of class number one, and on the other hand, rational newforms F of weight two for the congruence subgroups r0(n), where n is an ideal in the ring of integers R of K . This continues work of the first author and forms part of the Ph.D...

Computing the rank of elliptic curves over real quadratic number fields of class number 1

In this paper we describe an algorithm for computing the rank of an elliptic curve defined over a real quadratic field of class number one. This algorithm extends the one originally described by Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for curves over Q. Several examples are included.

p-TOWER GROUPS OVER QUADRATIC IMAGINARY NUMBER FIELDS

The modern theory of class field towers has its origins in the study of the p-class field tower over a quadratic imaginary number field, so it is fitting that this problem be the first in the discipline to be nearing a solution. We survey the state of the subject and present a new cohomological condition for a quadratic imaginary number field to have an infinite p-class field tower (for p odd)....
