The Manin constant

چکیده
The Manin constant of an elliptic curve is an invariant that arises in connection with the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. One conjectures that this constant is 1; it is known to be an integer. After surveying what is known about the Manin constant, we establish a new sufficient condition that ensures that the Manin constant is an odd integer. Next, we generalize the notion of the Manin constant to certain abelian variety quotients of the Jacobians of modular curves; these quotients are attached to ideals of Hecke algebras. We also generalize many of the results for elliptic curves to quotients of the new part of J0(N), and conjecture that the generalized Manin constant is 1 for newform quotients.

The Manin Constant, Congruence Primes, and the Modular Degree
We obtain relations between the modular degree and congruence modulus of elliptic curves, and answer a question raised in a paper of Frey and Müller about whether or not the congruence number and modular degree of elliptic curves are always equal; they are not, but we give a conjectural relation between them. We also prove results and make conjectures about Manin constants of quotients of J1(N)...
متن کاملExact Category of Modules of Constant Jordan Type
For a finite group scheme G, we continue our investigation of those finite dimensional kG-modules which are of constant Jordan type. We introduce a Quillen exact category structure C(kG) on these modules and investigate K0(C(kG)). We study which Jordan types can be realized as the Jordan types of (virtual) modules of constant Jordan type. We also briefly consider thickenings of C(kG) inside the...
متن کاملHumbert surfaces and the moduli of lattice polarized K3 surfaces
In this article we introduce a collection of partial differential equations in the moduli of lattice polarized K3 surfaces whose algebraic solutions are the loci of K3 surfaces with lattice polarizations of higher rank. In the special case of rank 17 polarization such loci encode the well-known Humbert surfaces. The differential equations treated in the present article are directly derived from...
متن کاملTriples of Real Simple Lie Algebras
The article is devoted to the problem of classification of Manin triples up to weak and gauge equivalence. The case of complex simple Lie algebras can be obtained by papers of A.Belavin, V.Drinfel'd, M.Semenov-Tian-Shanskii. Studing the action of conjugaton on complex Manin triples, we get the list of real doubles. There exists three types of the doubles. We classify all ad-invariant forms on t...
متن کاملThe Yuri Manin Ring and Its n - Analogue
The Manin ring is a family of quadratic algebras describing pointed stable curves of genus zero whose homology gives the solution of the Commutativity Equations. This solution was first observed by the physicist Losev. We show the Manin ring is the Stanley–Reisner ring of the standard triangulation of the n-cube modulo a system of parameters. Thus, the Hilbert series of the Manin ring is given ...
