Descent by 3-isogeny and 3-rank of quadratic fields
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper families of elliptic curves admitting a rational isogeny of degree 3 are studied. It is known that the 3-torsion in the class group of the field defined by the points in the kernel of such an isogeny is related to the rank of the elliptic curve. Families in which almost all the curves have rank at least 3 are constructed. In some cases this provides lower bounds for the number of quadratic fields which have a class number divisible by 3.

Descent via Isogeny in Dimension 2
A technique of descent via 4-isogeny is developed on the Jacobian of a curve of genus 2 of the form: Y 2 = q1(X)q2(X)q3(X), where each qi(X) is a quadratic defined over Q. The technique offers a realistic prospect of calculating rank tables of Mordell-Weil groups in higher dimension. A selection of worked examples is included as illustration.
متن کاملExplicit 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...

whereX0(N) is the complete curve overQ which classifies pairs of elliptic curves related by a cyclic N -isogeny. The curve E is equipped with the collection of Heegner points defined over ring class fields of suitable imaginary quadratic fields. More precisely, let K be an imaginary quadratic field in which all rational primes dividing N are split and let O be the order of K of conductor c prim...

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...
متن کاملDescent via (3, 3)-isogeny on Jacobians of Genus 2 Curves
We give parametrisation of curves C of genus 2 with a maximal isotropic (Z/3) in J [3], where J is the Jacobian variety of C, and develop the theory required to perform descent via (3, 3)-isogeny. We apply this to several examples, where it can shown that non-reducible Jacobians have nontrivial 3-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.
