On the Distribution of the Number of Points on Elliptic Curves in a Tower of Extensions of Finite Fields

چکیده
Let C be a smooth absolutely irreducible curve of genus g ≥ 1 defined over Fq, the finite field of q elements, and let #C(Fqn) be the number of Fqn-rational points on C. Under a certain condition, which for example, satisfied by all ordinary elliptic curves, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of ratios (#C(Fqn)−q−1)/2gq, n = 1, . . . , N , inside of a given interval I ⊆ [−1, 1] . This can be considered as an analogue of the Sato–Tate distribution which covers the case when the curve E is defined over Q and considered modulo consecutive primes p, although in our scenario the distribution function is different.

On 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 کاملEfficient elliptic curve cryptosystems
Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...
متن کاملHigher Heegner points on elliptic curves over function fields
Let E be a modular elliptic curve defined over a rational function field k of odd characteristic. We construct a sequence of Heegner points on E, defined over a Zp -tower of finite extensions of k, and show that these Heegner points generate a group of infinite rank. This is a function field analogue of a result of C. Cornut and V. Vatsal.
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 کاملGeneralized Jacobian and Discrete Logarithm Problem on Elliptic Curves
Let E be an elliptic curve over the finite field F_{q}, P a point in E(F_{q}) of order n, and Q a point in the group generated by P. The discrete logarithm problem on E is to find the number k such that Q = kP. In this paper we reduce the discrete logarithm problem on E[n] to the discrete logarithm on the group F*_{q} , the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of Fq, in the case where n | q...
