چکیده

The inverse problem of Galois theory asks whether an arbitrary finite group G can be realized as Gal(K/Q) for some Galois extension K of Q. When such a realization has been given for a particular G then a natural sequel is to find arithmetical realizations of the irreducible representations of G. One possibility is to ask for realizations in the Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves over Q: Given an irreducible complex representation τ of Gal(K/Q), does there exist an elliptic curve E over Q such that τ occurs in the natural representation of Gal(K/Q) on C ⊗Z E(K)? The present paper does not attempt to investigate this question directly. Instead we adopt Greenberg’s point of view in his remarks on nonabelian Iwasawa theory [5] and consider a related question about root numbers. Let ρE denote the representation of Gal(K/Q) on C ⊗Z E(K) and 〈τ, ρE〉 the multiplicity of τ in ρE , and write L(E, τ, s) for the tensor product L-function associated to E and τ . The conjectures of Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer and Deligne-Gross imply that

ELLIPTIC FUNCTIONS AND ELLIPTIC CURVES (A Classical Introduction)

(0.0) Elliptic curves are perhaps the simplest 'non-elementary' mathematical objects. In this course we are going to investigate them from several perspectives: analytic (= function-theoretic), geometric and arithmetic. Let us begin by drawing some parallels to the 'elementary' theory, well-known from the undergraduate curriculum. Elementary theory This course arcsin, arccos elliptic integrals ...

Cyclotomy Primality Proving

Two rational primes p, q are called dual elliptic if there is an elliptic curve E mod p with q points. They were introduced as an interesting means for combining the strengths of the elliptic curve and cyclotomy primality proving algorithms. By extending to elliptic curves some notions of galois theory of rings used in the cyclotomy primality tests, one obtains a new algorithm which has heurist...

Galois Groups of Difference Equations of Order Two on Elliptic Curves

This paper is concerned with difference equations on elliptic curves. We establish some general properties of the difference Galois groups of equations of order two, and give applications to the calculation of some difference Galois groups. For instance, our results combined with a result from transcendence theory due to Schneider allow us to identify a large class of discrete Lamé equations wi...

Galois Representations and Elliptic Curves

An elliptic curve over a field K is a projective nonsingular genus 1 curve E over K along with a chosen K-rational point O of E, which automatically becomes an algebraic group with identity O. If K has characteristic 0, the n-torsion of E, denoted E[n], is isomorphic to (Z/nZ) over K. The absolute Galois group GK acts on these points as a group automorphism, hence it acts on the inverse limit l...
