The Canonical Height of an Algebraic Point on an Elliptic Curve
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use elliptic divisibility sequences to describe a method for estimating the global canonical height of an algebraic point on an elliptic curve. This method requires almost no knowledge of the number field or the curve, is simple to implement, and requires no factorization. The method is ideally suited to searching for algebraic points with small height, in connection with the elliptic Lehmer problem. The accuracy of the method is discussed.

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 کاملLower bounds on the canonical height associated to the morphism φ ( z ) = z d + c
where h is the usual absolute logarithmic height. It is reasonably easy to show, from the two properties above, that ĥφ(α) = 0 just in case φ j(α) = φi(α) for some j 6= i. If this is the case, we will say that α is a pre-periodic point for φ. It is natural to ask how small the value of ĥφ can be at points which are not pre-periodic, i.e., wandering points for φ. We will examine this question fo...
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 کاملA Dynamical Interpretation of the Global Canonical Height on an Elliptic Curve
There is a well–understood connection between polynomials and certain simple algebraic dynamical systems. In this connection, the Mahler measure corresponds to the topological entropy, Kronecker’s Theorem relates ergodicity to positivity of entropy, approximants to the Mahler measure are related to growth rates of periodic points, and Lehmer’s problem is related to the existence of algebraic mo...
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...
