چکیده
We consider the structure of rational points on elliptic curves in Weierstrass form. Let x(P ) = AP /B 2 P denote the xcoordinate of the rational point P then we consider when BP can be a prime power. Using Faltings’ Theorem we show that for a fixed power greater than 1, there are only finitely many rational points. Where descent via an isogeny is possible we show, with no restrictions on the power, that there are only finitely many rational points, these points are bounded in number in an explicit fashion, and that they are effectively computable. Let E denote an elliptic curve given by a Weierstrass equation (1) y + a1xy + a3y = x 3 + a2x 2 + a4x+ a6 with integral coefficients a1, . . . , a6. See [1] and [16] for background on elliptic curves. Let E(Q) denote the group of rational points on E. For an element P ∈ E(Q), the shape of the defining equation (1) requires that P be in the form (2) P = ( AP B P , CP B P ) where AP , BP , CP are integers with no common factor. In this paper we are concerned with the equation

The moduli space of G-bundles on an elliptic curve with additional flag structure admits a Poisson structure. The bivector can be defined using double loop group, loop group and sheaf cohomology constructions. We investigate the links between these methods and for the case SL2 perform explicit computations, describing the bracket and its leaves in detail.

We use rational parametrizations of certain cubic surfaces and an explicit formula for descent via 3-isogeny to construct the first examples of elliptic curves Ek : x 3 + y = k of ranks 8, 9, 10, and 11 over Q. As a corollary we produce examples of elliptic curves over Q with a rational 3-torsion point and rank as high as 11. We also discuss the problem of finding the minimal curve Ek of a give...
