Let E/Q be an elliptic curve. Silverman and Stange define primes p and q to be an elliptic amicable pair if #E(Fp) = q and #E(Fq) = p. More generally, they define the notion of aliquot cycles for elliptic curves. Here we study the same notion in the case that the elliptic curve is defined over a number field K. We focus on proving the existence of an elliptic curve E/K with aliquot cycle (p1, ....

We discuss microscopic origin of integrability in Seiberg-Witten theory, following the results of [1], as well as present their certain extension and consider several explicit examples. In particular, we discuss in more detail the theory with the only switched on higher perturbationin the ultraviolet, where extra explicit formulas are obtained using bosonization and elliptic uniformization of t...

A celebrated theorem of Bogomolov asserts that the l-adic Lie algebra attached to the Galois action on the Tate module of an abelian variety over a number field contains all homotheties. This is not the case in characteristic p: a “counterexample” is provided by an ordinary elliptic curve defined over a finite field. In this note we discuss (and explicitly construct) more interesting examples o...

In this paper we reformulate the question of whether the ranks of the quadratic twists of an elliptic curve over Q are bounded, into the question of the whether certain infinite series converge. Our results were inspired by ideas in a paper of Gouvêa and Mazur [2]. Fix a, b, c ∈ Z such that f(x) = x + ax + bx+ c has 3 distinct complex roots, and let E be the elliptic curve y = f(x). For D ∈ Z−{...

Let D = (Dn)n≥1 be an elliptic divisibility sequence. We study the set S(D) of indices n satisfying n | Dn. In particular, given an index n ∈ S(D), we explain how to construct elements nd ∈ S(D), where d is either a prime divisor of Dn, or d is the product of the primes in an aliquot cycle for D. We also give bounds for the exceptional indices that are not constructed in this way.

This paper proposes new explicit formulae for the point doubling, tripling and addition on ordinary Weierstrass elliptic curves with a point of order 3 over finite fields of characteristic three. The cost of basic point operations is lower than that of all previously proposed ones. The new doubling, mixed addition and tripling formulae in projective coordinates require 3M + 2C, 8M + 1C + 1D and...

This paper further develops the theory of arbitrary semigroups acting on trees via elliptic mappings. A key tool is the Lyndon-Chiswell length function L for the semigroup S which allows one to construct a tree T and an action of S on T via elliptic maps. Improving on previous results, the length function of the action will also be L.

‎We study the existence of soliton solutions for a class of‎ ‎quasilinear elliptic equation in $mathbb{textbf{R}}^2$ with critical exponential growth‎. ‎This model has been proposed in the self-channeling of a‎ ‎high-power ultra short laser in matter‎.

In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
