In this paper, we examine the Lang-Trotter conjecture for elliptic curves which possess rational 3-torsion points. We prove that if one averages over all such elliptic curves then one obtains an asymptotic similar to the one predicted by Lang and Trotter.

The first part describes power operations in elliptic cohomology in terms of isogenies of the underlying elliptic curve. The second part discusses a relationship between equivariant elliptic cohomology and representations of loop groups. The third part investigates the representation theoretic considerations which give rise to the power operations discussed in the first part.

We introduce an elliptic analogue of the Apostol sums, which we call elliptic Apostol sums. These sums are defined by means of certain elliptic functions with a complex parameter τ having positive imaginary part. When τ → i∞, these elliptic Apostol sums represent the well-known Apostol generalized Dedekind sums. Also these elliptic Apostol sums are modular forms in the variable τ . We obtain a ...

In this work, we study the existence of non-trivial multiple solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems equipped with concave-convex nonlinearities and critical growth terms in bounded domains. By using the variational method, especially Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions.

We discuss Chapter 6 from Silverman & Tate’s Rational Points on Elliptic Curves, in which the authors outline a means of proving Kronecker’s Jugendtraum for Q and Q(i). One considers C[n], the kernel of the multiplication-by-n map on an elliptic curve C. After defining the number field Q(C[n]), we examine instances in which its Galois group over a field K is abelian. For the elliptic curve

We discuss abelian variety and use it to generalize the concept of elliptic curve we discussed in the class. We state some of the basic properties of abelian variety and in particular 1-dimensional abelian variety. The main result of this report is to show that elliptic curve is that the only 1-dimensional abelian variety.

Pairing-based cryptosystems have been developing very fast in the last few years. As the key primitive, pairing is also the heaviest operation in these systems. The performance of pairing affects the application of the schemes in practice. In this report, we summarise the formulas of the Tate pairing operation on elliptic curves in different coordinate systems and describe a few observations of...

A large part of modern arithmetic geometry is dedicated to or motivated by the study of rational points on varieties. For an elliptic curve over Q, the set of rational points forms a finitely generated abelian group. The ranks of these groups, when ranging over all elliptic curves, are conjectured to be evenly distributed between rank 0 and rank 1, with higher ranks being negligible. We will de...
