Rigid Lattices Are Mordell-weil

چکیده

We say a lattice Λ is rigid if it its isometry group acts irreducibly on its ambient Euclidean space. We say Λ is Mordell-Weil if there exists an abelian variety A over a number field K such that A(K)/A(K)tor, regarded as a lattice by means of its height pairing, contains at least one copy of Λ. We prove that every rigid lattice is Mordell-Weil. In particular, we show that the Leech lattice can be realized inside the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve over a number field.

On Mordell-Weil Lattices of Higher Genus Fibrations on Rational Surfaces

We will give an upper bound of Mordell-Weil rank r for relatively minimal brations of curves of genus g 1 on rational surfaces. Under the assumption that a bration is not locally trivial, we have r 4g+4. Moreover the maximal case (r = 4g + 4) will be studied in detail. We determine the structure of such brations and also the structure of their Mordell-Weil lattices introduced by Shioda.

Three lectures on elliptic surfaces and curves of high rank

Three lectures on elliptic surfaces and curves of high rank Noam D. Elkies Over the past two years we have improved several of the (Mordell–Weil) rank records for elliptic curves over Q and nonconstant elliptic curves over Q(t). For example, we found the first example of a curve E/Q with 28 independent points P i ∈ E(Q) (the previous record was 24, by R. Martin and W. McMillen 2000), and the fi...

An elliptic surface related to sums of consecutive squares

The theory of Mordell-Weil lattices is applied to a specific example of a rational elliptic surface. This provides a complete description of the sections of this surface, and of the sections which are defined over Q. The surface is related to the diophantine problem of expressing squares as a sum of consecutive squares. Some consequences which our description has to this problem are discussed.
