abstract

let $e$ be an elliptic curve over $bbb{q}$ with the given weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. if $d$ is a squarefree integer, then let $e^{(d)}$ denote the $d$-quadratic twist of $e$ that is given by $e^{(d)}: y^2=x^3+ad^2x+bd^3$. let $e^{(d)}(bbb{q})$ be the group of $bbb{q}$-rational points of $e^{(d)}$. it is conjectured by j. silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $e^{(p)}(bbb{q})$ has positive rank, and there are infinitely many primes $q$ for which $e^{(q)}(bbb{q})$ has rank $0$. in this paper, assuming the parity conjecture, we show that for infinitely many primes $p$, the elliptic curve $e_n^{(p)}: y^2=x^3-np^2x$ has odd rank and for infinitely many primes $p$, $e_n^{(p)}(bbb{q})$ has even rank, where $n$ is a positive integer that can be written as biquadrates sums in two different ways, i.e., $n=u^4+v^4=r^4+s^4$, where $u, v, r, s$ are positive integers such that $gcd(u,v)=gcd(r,s)=1$. more precisely, we prove that: if $n$ can be written in two different ways as biquartic sums and $p$ is prime, then under the assumption of the parity conjecture $e_n^{(p)}(bbb{q})$ has odd rank (and so a positive rank) as long as $n$ is odd and $pequiv5, 7pmod{8}$ or $n$ is even and $pequiv1pmod{4}$. in the end, we also compute the ranks of some specific values of $n$ and $p$ explicitly.

On Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

Average Twin Prime Conjecture for Elliptic Curves

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. In 1988, N. Koblitz conjectured a precise asymptotic for the number of primes p up to x such that the order of the group of points of E over Fp is prime. This is an analogue of the Hardy–Littlewood twin prime conjecture in the case of elliptic curves. Koblitz’s Conjecture is still widely open. In this paper we prove that Koblitz’s Conjecture is true on average...

The Uniform Primality Conjecture for Elliptic Curves

An elliptic divisibility sequence, generated by a point in the image of a rational isogeny, is shown to possess a uniformly bounded number of prime terms. This result applies over the rational numbers, assuming Lang’s conjecture, and over the rational function field, unconditionally. In the latter case, a uniform bound is obtained on the index of a prime term. Sharpened versions of these techni...

Elliptic Curves and Iwasawa’s Μ = 0 Conjecture

A fundamental problem in algebraic number theory concerns the study of the absolute Galois group of the field Q of rational numbers. Class field theory partially resolves this problem by explicitly describing the Galois groups of the maximal abelian extension of any number field. The study of various representations of the absolute Galois group of Q that occur naturally in arithmetic geometry a...

On the Quadratic Twists of a Family of Elliptic Curves

In this paper, we consider the average size of the 2-Selmer groups of a class of quadratic twists of each elliptic curve over Q with Q-torsion group Z2 × Z2. We prove the existence of a positive proportion of quadratic twists of such a curve, each of which has rank 0 Mordell-Weil group.

The anticyclotomic Main Conjecture for elliptic curves at supersingular primes

The Main Conjecture of Iwasawa theory for an elliptic curve E over Q and the anticyclotomic Zp-extension of an imaginary quadratic field K was studied in [BD2], in the case where p is a prime of ordinary reduction for E. Analogous results are formulated, and proved, in the case where p is a prime of supersingular reduction. The foundational study of supersingular main conjectures carried out by...
