ON THE p-TORSION OF ELLIPTIC CURVES AND ELLIPTIC SURFACES IN CHARACTERISTIC p

چکیده

We study the extension generated by the x-coordinates of the petorsion points of an elliptic curve over a function field of characteristic p. If S → C is a non-isotrivial elliptic surface in characteristic p with a pe-torsion section, then for pe > 11 our results imply restrictions on the genus, the gonality, and the p-rank of the base curve C, whereas for pe ≤ 11 such a surface can be constructed over any base curve C. We also describe explicitly all occurring pe in the cases where the surface S is rational or K3 or the base curve C is rational, elliptic or hyperelliptic.

On the rank of certain parametrized elliptic curves

In this paper the family of elliptic curves over Q given by the equation Ep :Y2 = (X - p)3 + X3 + (X + p)3 where p is a prime number, is studied. Itis shown that the maximal rank of the elliptic curves is at most 3 and someconditions under which we have rank(Ep(Q)) = 0 or rank(Ep(Q)) = 1 orrank(Ep(Q))≥2 are given.

Efficient elliptic curve cryptosystems

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...

The Discrete Logarithm Problem on the p-torsion Subgroup of Elliptic Curves

An ongoing challenge in cryptography is to find groups in which the DLP is computationally infeasible, that is, for which the best known attack is exponential in log(N). Such a group can be used as the setting for many cryptographic protocols, from Diffie-Hellman key exchange to El Gamal encryption ([14], 159). The most prominent example, first proposed in 1985, is a subgroup of points of an el...

THE p-TORSION SUBGROUP SCHEME OF AN ELLIPTIC CURVE

Let k be a field of positive characteristic p. Question: Does every twisted form of μp over k occur as subgroup scheme of an elliptic curve over k? We show that this is true for most finite fields, for local fields and for fields of characteristic p ≤ 11. However, it is false in general for fields of characteristic p ≥ 13, which is related to the fact that the Igusa curves are not rational in t...
