Integral Points on Elliptic Curves and 3-torsion in Class Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We give new bounds for the number of integral points on elliptic curves. The method may be said to interpolate between approaches via diophantine techniques ([BP], [HBR]) and methods based on quasi-orthogonality in the Mordell-Weil lattice ([Sil6], [GS], [He]). We apply our results to break previous bounds on the number of elliptic curves of given conductor and the size of the 3-torsion part of the class group of a quadratic field. The same ideas can be used to count rational points on curves of higher genus.

Torsion Points on Elliptic Curves with Complex Multiplication
i.e., the supremum of all orders of torsion points on elliptic curves defined over some degree d number field. Write T (d)′ for the set of prime divisors of elements of Td, and P (d) for the largest element of T (d)′. Let TCM(d) (resp. TIM(d)) be the subset of T (d) corresponding to elliptic curves with complex multiplication (resp. with algebraic integral modulus j(E)), and similarly adding th...
متن کاملMultiples of Integral Points on Elliptic Curves
If E is a minimal elliptic curve defined over Z, we obtain a bound C, depending only on the global Tamagawa number of E, such that for any point P ∈ E(Q), nP is integral for at most one value of n > C. As a corollary, we show that if E/Q is a fixed elliptic curve, then for all twists E′ of E of sufficient height, and all torsion-free, rank-one subgroups Γ ⊆ E′(Q), Γ contains at most 6 integral ...
متن کاملIntegral points on elliptic curves and explicit valuations of division polynomials
Assuming Lang’s conjectured lower bound on the heights of non-torsion points on an elliptic curve, we show that there exists an absolute constant C such that for any elliptic curve E/Q and non-torsion point P ∈ E(Q), there is at most one integral multiple [n]P such that n > C. The proof is a modification of a proof of Ingram giving an unconditional but not uniform bound. The new ingredient is a...
متن کاملElliptic Curves and Dedekind Domains
Some results are obtained on the group of rational points on elliptic curves over infinite algebraic number fields. A certain naturally defined class of Dedekind domains, elliptic Dedekind domains, are described and it is shown that every countable abelian group can be realized as the class group of an elliptic Dedekind domain. Introduction. Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a field K. Le...

‎‎In the category of Mordell curves (E_D:y^2=x^3+D) with nontrivial torsion groups we find curves of the generic rank two as quadratic twists of (E_1), ‎and of the generic rank at least two and at least three as cubic twists of (E_1). ‎Previous work‎, ‎in the category of Mordell curves with trivial torsion groups‎, ‎has found infinitely many elliptic curves with ...
