On the Mordell–weil Group of the Elliptic Curve
نویسنده
چکیده
We study an infinite family of Mordell curves (i.e. the elliptic curves in the form y = x + n, n ∈ Z) over Q with three explicit integral points. We show that the points are independent in certain cases. We describe how to compute bounds of the canonical heights of the points. Using the result we show that any pair in the three points can always be a part of a basis of the free part of the Mordell–Weil group.

Complete characterization of the Mordell-Weil group of some families of elliptic curves
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px$, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime $p...
متن کاملOn the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px $
By the Mordell-Weil theorem, the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group. There is no known algorithm for finding the rank of this group. This paper computes the rank of the family $ E_p:y^2=x^3-3px $ of elliptic curves, where p is a prime.
متن کاملRigid Lattices Are Mordell-weil
We say a lattice Λ is rigid if it its isometry group acts irreducibly on its ambient Euclidean space. We say Λ is Mordell-Weil if there exists an abelian variety A over a number field K such that A(K)/A(K)tor, regarded as a lattice by means of its height pairing, contains at least one copy of Λ. We prove that every rigid lattice is Mordell-Weil. In particular, we show that the Leech lattice can...

متن کاملThree lectures on elliptic surfaces and curves of high rank
Three lectures on elliptic surfaces and curves of high rank Noam D. Elkies Over the past two years we have improved several of the (Mordell–Weil) rank records for elliptic curves over Q and nonconstant elliptic curves over Q(t). For example, we found the first example of a curve E/Q with 28 independent points P i ∈ E(Q) (the previous record was 24, by R. Martin and W. McMillen 2000), and the fi...
متن کاملSolution to the Inverse Mordell-weil Problem for Elliptic Curves
In [Ro76], M. Rosen showed that for any countable commutative group G, there is a field K, an elliptic curve E/K and a surjective group homomorphism E(K) → G. From this he deduced that any countable commutative group whatsoever is the ideal class group of an elliptic Dedekind domain – the ring of all functions on an elliptic curve which are regular away from some (fixed, possibly infinite) set ...
