TORSION ANOMALOUS POINTS AND FAMILIES OF ELLIPTIC CURVES By D. MASSER and U. ZANNIER

چکیده
We prove that there are at most finitely many complex λ = 0, 1 such that two points on the Legendre elliptic curve Y2 = X(X − 1)(X − λ) with coordinates X = 2, 3 both have finite order. This is a very special case of some conjectures on unlikely intersections in semiabelian schemes.

A Proof of the André - Oort Conjecture via Mathematical Logic
INTRODUCTION Extending work of Bombieri and Pila on counting lattice points on convex curves [3], Pila and Wilkie proved a strong counting theorem on the number of rational points in a more general class of sets definable in an o-minimal structure on the real numbers [37]. Following a strategy proposed by Zannier, the Pila-Wilkie upper bound has been leveraged against Galois-theoretic lower bou...
متن کاملPreperiodic Points and Unlikely Intersections
In this article, we combine complex-analytic and arithmetic tools to study the preperiodic points of one-dimensional complex dynamical systems. We show that for any fixed a, b ∈ C, and any integer d ≥ 2, the set of c ∈ C for which both a and b are preperiodic for z + c is infinite if and only if a = b. This provides an affirmative answer to a question of Zannier, which itself arose from questio...
متن کاملElliptic Curves with Torsion Group Z/8z or Z/2z× Z/6z
We show the existence of families of elliptic curves over Q whose generic rank is at least 2 for the torsion groups Z/8Z and Z/2Z× Z/6Z. Also in both cases we prove the existence of infinitely many elliptic curves, which are parameterized by the points of an elliptic curve with positive rank, with such torsion group and rank at least 3. These results represent an improvement of previous results...
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 کاملElligator Squared: Uniform Points on Elliptic Curves of Prime Order as Uniform Random Strings
When represented as a bit string in a standard way, even using point compression, an elliptic curve point is easily distinguished from a random bit string. This property potentially allows an adversary to tell apart network traffic that makes use of elliptic curve cryptography from random traffic, and then intercept, block or otherwise tamper with such traffic. Recently, Bernstein, Hamburg, Kra...
