Cycles on modular varieties and rational points on elliptic curves
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a summary of a three-part lecture series given at the meeting on “Explicit methods in number theory” that was held in Oberwolfach from July 12 to 18, 2009. The theme of this lecture series was the explicit construction of algebraic points on elliptic curves from cycles on modular varieties. Given a fixed elliptic curve E over Q, the goal is to better understand the group E(Q̄) of algebraic points on E by focusing on the following question:

Modular Varieties of D-elliptic Sheaves and the Weil-deligne Bound
We compare the asymptotic grows of the number of rational points on modular varieties of D-elliptic sheaves over finite fields to the grows of their Betti numbers as the degree of the level tends to infinity. This is a generalization to higher dimensions of a well-known result for modular curves. As a consequence of the main result, we also produce a new asymptotically optimal sequence of curves.
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.
متن کاملOn the Elliptic Curves of the Form $y^2 = x^3 − pqx$
By the Mordell- Weil theorem, the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group. This paper studies the rank of the family Epq:y2=x3-pqx of elliptic curves, where p and q are distinct primes. We give infinite families of elliptic curves of the form y2=x3-pqx with rank two, three and four, assuming a conjecture of Schinzel ...
متن کاملOn the Number of Rational Points on Drinfeld Modular Varieties over Finite Fields
Drinfeld and Vladut proved that Drinfeld modular curves have many Fq2 -rational points compared to their genera. We propose a conjectural generalization of this result to higher dimensional Drinfeld modular varieties, and prove a theorem giving some evidence for the conjecture.
متن کاملLocal diophantine properties of modular curves of D-elliptic sheaves
We study the existence of rational points on modular curves of D-elliptic sheaves over local fields and the structure of special fibres of these curves. We discuss some applications which include finding presentations for arithmetic groups arising from quaternion algebras, finding the equations of modular curves of D-elliptic sheaves, and constructing curves violating the Hasse principle.
