A Formula for The Selmer Group of a Rational Three-Isogeny∗

نویسنده

  • Matt DeLong
چکیده

A formula is given for the dimension of the Selmer group of the rational three-isogeny of elliptic curves of the form y2 = x3+a(x−b)2. The formula is in terms of the three-ranks of the quadratic number fields Q( √ a) and Q( √ −3a) and various aspects of the arithmetic of these number fields. In addition a duality theorem is used to relate the dimension of the Selmer group of the three-isogeny with the dimension of the Selmer group of its dual isogeny.

Change of Selmer Group for Big Galois Representations and Application to Normalization

The goal of this note is to prove, under some assumptions, a formula relating the Selmer groups of isogenous Galois representations. Local and global Euler-Poincaré characteristic formulas are key tools in the proof. With additional hypotheses, we use the isogeny formula to study how the formation of Selmer groups interacts with normalization of the coefficient ring and discuss how a main conje...

Explicit isogeny descent on elliptic curves

In this note, we consider an `-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves over Q. We assume that ` > 3 is a prime. The main result expresses the relevant Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finitedimensional F`-vector spaces defined in terms of the splitting fields of the kernels of the two isogenies. We give examples of proving the `-part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer...

On the Joint Distribution Of Selφ(E/Q) and Selφ(E ′/Q) in Quadratic Twist Families

Strikingly, this is not true when E has a single rational point of order two. In this case E has a degree two isogeny φ : E → E ′ and an associated Selmer group Selφ(E/Q). Work of Xiong shows that if E does not have a cyclic 4-isogeny de ned over Q(E[2]), then the distribution of the ranks of Selφ(E /Q) as d varies among the squarefree integers less than X tends to the distribution Max{0,N (0, ...

Explicit Selmer Groups for Cyclic Covers of P

For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny φ : J → J , the Selmer group Sel(J, k) is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group H(Gal(k/k), J [φ]), defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a cyclic cover of P of prime degree p, the Selmer group has a quotient by a subgroup of order at most p that is isomorphic to the ‘fake Selmer group’, whose definition is m...

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.
