EXPLICIT n-DESCENT ON ELLIPTIC CURVES I. ALGEBRA
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods we describe are practical in the case n = 3 for elliptic curves over the rationals, and have been implemented in MAGMA .

A descent method for explicit computations on curves
It is shown that the knowledge of a surjective morphism $Xto Y$ of complex curves can be effectively used to make explicit calculations. The method is demonstrated by the calculation of $j(ntau)$ (for some small $n$) in terms of $j(tau)$ for the elliptic curve with period lattice $(1,tau)$, the period matrix for the Jacobian of a family of genus-$2$ curves complementing the classi...
متن کاملExplicit 8 - Descent on Elliptic Curves by Sebastian
In this thesis I will describe an explicit method for performing an 8-descent on elliptic curves. First I will present some basics on descent, in particular I will give a generalization of the definition of n-coverings, which suits the needs of higher descent. Then I will sketch the classical method of 2-descent, and the two methods that are known for doing a second 2-descent, also called 4-des...
متن کاملAn Efficient Threshold Verifiable Multi-Secret Sharing Scheme Using Generalized Jacobian of Elliptic Curves
In a (t,n)-threshold secret sharing scheme, a secret s is distributed among n participants such that any group of t or more participants can reconstruct the secret together, but no group of fewer than t participants can do. In this paper, we propose a verifiable (t,n)-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme based on Shao and Cao, and the intractability of the elliptic curve discrete logar...
متن کاملMinimisation and Reduction of 2-, 3- and 4-coverings of Elliptic Curves
In this paper we consider models for genus one curves of degree n for n = 2, 3 and 4, which arise in explicit n-descent on elliptic curves. We prove theorems on the existence of minimal models with the same invariants as the minimal model of the Jacobian elliptic curve and provide simple algorithms for minimising a given model, valid over general number fields. Finally, for genus one models def...
