Second p-descents on elliptic curves
Abstract. Let p be a prime and let C be a genus one curve over a number field k representing an element of order dividing p in the Shafarevich-Tate group of its Jacobian. We describe an algorithm which computes the set of D in the Shafarevich-Tate group such that pD = C and obtains explicit models for these D as curves in projective space. This leads to a practical algorithm for performing expl...
متن کاملMOD p REPRESENTATIONS ON ELLIPTIC CURVES
Modular Galois representations ρ : Gal(Q/Q) → GL2(Fp) with cyclotomic determinant arise from elliptic curves for small p. We show that ρ does not necessarily arise from an elliptic curve whose conductor is as small as possible outside p. For p = 3 this disproves a conjecture of J. Lario and A. Rio [8].
متن کاملExplicit 4-descents on an Elliptic Curve
It is shown that the obvious method of descending from an element of the 2-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, E, will indeed give elements of order 1, 2 or 4 in the Weil-Chatelet group of E. Explicit algorithms for such a method are given.
متن کاملON THE p-TORSION OF ELLIPTIC CURVES AND ELLIPTIC SURFACES IN CHARACTERISTIC p
We study the extension generated by the x-coordinates of the petorsion points of an elliptic curve over a function field of characteristic p. If S → C is a non-isotrivial elliptic surface in characteristic p with a pe-torsion section, then for pe > 11 our results imply restrictions on the genus, the gonality, and the p-rank of the base curve C, whereas for pe ≤ 11 such a surface can be construc...
متن کاملCYCLICITY OF CM ELLIPTIC CURVES MODULO p
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and with complex multiplication. For a prime p of good reduction, let E be the reduction of E modulo p. We find the density of the primes p ≤ x for which E(Fp) is a cyclic group. An asymptotic formula for these primes had been obtained conditionally by J.-P. Serre in 1976, and unconditionally by Ram Murty in 1979. The aim of this paper is to give a new ...
