Visibility of Mordell-Weil Groups

چکیده
We introduce a notion of visibility for Mordell-Weil groups, make a conjecture about visibility, and support it with theoretical evidence and data. These results shed new light on relations between Mordell-Weil and Shafarevich-Tate groups. 11G05, 11G10, 11G18, 11Y40

Complete 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 کاملSelmer groups and Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves over towers of function fields
In [12] and [13], Silverman discusses the problem of bounding the Mordell-Weil ranks of elliptic curves over towers of function fields. We first prove generalizations of the theorems of those two papers by a different method, allowing non-abelian Galois groups and removing the dependence on Tate’s conjectures. We then prove some theorems about the growth of Mordell-Weil ranks in towers of funct...

متن کاملOn the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px $
By the Mordell-Weil theorem, the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group. There is no known algorithm for finding the rank of this group. This paper computes the rank of the family $ E_p:y^2=x^3-3px $ of elliptic curves, where p is a prime.
