چکیده
We introduce an l-adic algorithm to efficiently determine the group of rational torsion points on an elliptic curve. We also make a conjecture about the discriminant of the m-division polynomial of an elliptic curve.

TORSION OF RATIONAL ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER CUBIC FIELDS AND SPORADIC POINTS ON X1(n)
We classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves over cubic fields. Along the way we find a previously unknown torsion structure over a cubic field, Z/21Z, which corresponds to a sporadic point on X1(21) of degree 3, which is the lowest possible degree of a sporadic point on a modular curve X1(n).
متن کاملExplicit Coleman Integration for Hyperelliptic Curves
Coleman’s theory of p-adic integration figures prominently in several number-theoretic applications, such as finding torsion and rational points on curves, and computing p-adic regulators in K-theory (including p-adic heights on elliptic curves). We describe an algorithm for computing Coleman integrals on hyperelliptic curves, and its implementation in Sage.
متن کاملHigher descents on an elliptic curve with a rational 2-torsion point
Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field K. Descent calculations on E can be used to find upper bounds for the rank of the Mordell-Weil group, and to compute covering curves that assist in the search for generators of this group. The general method of 4-descent, developed in the PhD theses of Siksek, Womack and Stamminger, has been implemented in Magma (when K = Q) and works well for elli...
متن کاملComplete 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 کاملConstruction of high-rank elliptic curves with a nontrivial torsion point
We construct a family of infinitely many elliptic curves over Q with a nontrivial rational 2-torsion point and with rank ≥ 6, which is parametrized by the rational points of an elliptic curve of rank ≥ 1.
