The study of elliptic curves has historically been a subject of almost purely mathematical interest. However, Koblitz and Miller independently showed that elliptic curves can be used to implement cryptographic primitives [13], [17]. This thrust elliptic curves from the abstract realm of pure mathematics to the preeminently applied world of communications security. Public key cryptography in gen...

Three improvements in reduction and computation of elliptic integrals are made. 1. Reduction formulas, used to express many elliptic integrals in terms of a few standard integrals, are simplified by modifying the definition of intermediate "basic integrals." 2. A faster than quadratically convergent series is given for numerical computation of the complete symmetric elliptic integral of the thi...

We give a brief review of the main results of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions — a new class of special functions of mathematical physics. We prove the most general univariate exact integration formula generalizing Euler’s beta integral, which is called the elliptic beta integral. An elliptic analogue of the Gauss hypergeometric function is constructed together with the elliptic ...

Scalar multiplication on Legendre form elliptic curves can be speeded up in two ways. One can perform the bulk of the computation either on the associated Kummer line or on an appropriate twisted Edwards form elliptic curve. This paper provides details of moving to and from between Legendre form elliptic curves and associated Kummer line and moving to and from between Legendre form elliptic cur...

Elliptic curves enter algebraic topology through “Elliptic cohomology”–really a family of cohomology theories–and their associated “elliptic genera”. • Arithmetic aspect: Modularity of elliptic genera, The spectrum TMF of “topological modular forms” and the calculation of π∗TMF →MF (Z), Hopkins’s proof of Borcherds’ congruences. • Physical aspect: Witten’s approach to elliptic genera via string...

in this paper, we study the multiplicity of positive solutions for the laplacian systems with sign-changing weight functions. using the decomposition of the nehari manifold, we prove that an elliptic system has at least two positive solutions.

We show that the Hankel determinants of a generalized Catalan sequence satisfy the equations of the elliptic sequence. As a consequence, the coordinates of the multiples of an arbitrary point on the elliptic curve are expressed by the Hankel determinants. PACS numbers: 02.30.Ik, 02.30.Gp, 02.30.Lt

We prove Atiyah's classi cation results about indecomposable vector bundles on an elliptic curve by applying the Fourier-Mukai transform. We extend our considerations to semistable bundles and construct the universal stable sheaves. MSC 2000: 14H60 Vector bundles on curves and their moduli, 14H52 Elliptic curves.

For r = 6, 7, . . . , 11 we find an elliptic curve E/Q of rank at least r and the smallest conductor known, improving on the previous records by factors ranging from 1.0136 (for r = 6) to over 100 (for r = 10 and r = 11). We describe our search methods, and tabulate, for each r = 5, 6, . . . , 11, the five curves of lowest conductor, and (except for r = 11) also the five of lowest absolute disc...

Manjul Bhargava has recently made a great advance in the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves. Together with his student, Arul Shankar, he determines the average order of the Selmer group Sel(E,m) for an elliptic curve E over Q, when m = 2, 3, 4, 5. We recall that the Selmer group is a finite subgroup of H(Q, E[m]), which is defined by local conditions. Their result (cf. [1, 2]) is that the ave...
