Congruences between the Coefficients of the Tate Curve via Formal Groups

چکیده
Let Eq : Y 2 + XY = X3 + h4X + h6 be the Tate curve with canonical differential, ω = dX/(2Y + X). If the characteristic is p > 0, then the Hasse invariant, H, of the pair (Eq, ω) should equal one. If p > 3, then calculation of H leads to a nontrivial separable relation between the coefficients h4 and h6. If p = 2 or p = 3, Thakur related h4 and h6 via elementary methods and an identity of Ramanujan. Here, we treat uniformly all characteristics via explicit calculation of the formal group law of Eq. Our analysis was motivated by the study of the invariant A which is an infinite Witt vector generalizing the Hasse invariant.

Congruences via Abelian Groups
Given a group G acting on a set S, Mobius inversion over the lattice of subgroups can be used to obtain congruences relating the number of elements of S stabilized by each subgroup. By taking S to be a set of subsets, partitions, or permutations congruences for binomial and multinomial coefficients. Stirling numbers of both kinds, and various other combinatorial sequences are derived. Congruenc...
متن کاملOn the Tate-shafarevich Groups of Certain Elliptic Curves
The Tate-Shafarevich groups of certain elliptic curves over Fq(t) are related, via étale cohomology, to the group of points of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. The Cassels-Tate pairing is computed under this identification.

We define certain objects associated to a modular elliptic curve E and a discriminant D satisfying suitable conditions. These objects interpolate special values of the complex L-functions associated to E over the quadratic field Q( √ D), in the same way that Bernouilli numbers interpolate special values of Dirichlet L-series. Following an approach of Mazur and Tate [MT], one can make conjecture...
متن کاملCongruences between Selmer groups ∗
The study of congruences between arithmetically interesting numbers has a long history and plays important roles in several areas of number theory. Examples of such congruences include the Kummer congruences between Bernoulli numbers and congruences between coefficients of modular forms. Many of these congruences could be interpreted as congruences between special values of L-functions of arith...
