Cyclotomic Points on Curves

چکیده
We show that a plane algebraic curve f = 0 over the complex numbers has on it either at most 22V (f) points whose coordinates are both roots of unity, or infinitely many such points. Here V (f) is the area of the Newton polytope of f. We present an algorithm for finding all these points.

Elliptic Curves with Maximal Galois Action on Their Torsion Points
Given an elliptic curve E over a number field k, the Galois action on the torsion points of E induces a Galois representation, ρE : Gal(k/k) → GL2(b Z). For a fixed number field k, we describe the image of ρE for a “random” elliptic curve E over k. In particular, if k 6= Q is linearly disjoint from the cyclotomic extension of Q, then ρE will be surjective for “most” elliptic curves over k.
متن کاملGenerators of Finite Fields with Powers of Trace Zero and Cyclotomic Function Fields
Using the relation between the problem of counting irreducible polynomials over finite fields with some prescribed coefficients to the problem of counting rational points on curves over finite fields whose function fields are subfields of cyclotomic function fields, we count the number of generators of finite fields with powers of trace zero up to some point, answering a question of Z. Reichste...
متن کاملComplete classification of torsion of elliptic curves over quadratic cyclotomic fields
In a previous paper ([10]), the author examined the possible torsions of an elliptic curve over the quadratic fields Q(i) and Q( √ −3). Although all the possible torsions were found if the elliptic curve has rational coefficients, we were unable to eliminate some possibilities for the torsion if the elliptic curve has coefficients that are not rational. In this note, by finding all the points o...
متن کاملConstruction of Pairing-Friendly Elliptic Curves
The aim of this paper is to construct pairing friendly elliptic curves. In this paper, we explain a method of finding the polynomials representing √−D and ζk over the field containing √−D and ζk and how to construct a pairing friendly elliptic curves over the cyclotomic fields containing Q(ζk, √−D) for arbitrary k and D by CP method. By using the factorization of the cyclotomic polynomial combi...

1. Thaine’s “purely cyclotomic” method [Th88] for bounding the exponents of the ideal class groups of cyclotomic fields. The bounds that Thaine obtained were already known thanks to the proof of the Main Conjecture by Mazur andWiles, in which unramified abelian extensions of cyclotomic fields were constructed from reducible two-dimensional Galois representations occuring in the Jacobians of mod...
