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 $...

— We report on a large-scale project to investigate the ranks of elliptic curves in a quadratic twist family, focussing on the congruent number curve. Our methods to exclude candidate curves include 2-Selmer, 4-Selmer, and 8-Selmer tests, the use of the Guinand-Weil explicit formula, and even 3-descent in a couple of cases. We find that rank 6 quadratic twists are reasonably common (though stil...

If d is square-free or is a fundamental discriminant, then let χd = χD denote the Kronecker character for the quadratic field Q( √ d) whose fundamental discriminant is D. Throughout D shall denote a fundamental discriminant. The D-quadratic twist of F , denoted F ⊗ χD, is the newform corresponding to the twist of F by the character χD. In particular, if gcd(M,D) = 1, then (F ⊗ χD)(z) = ∑∞ n=1 χ...

In this brief article we prove local-global compatibility for holomorphic Siegel modular forms with Iwahori level. In previous work we proved a weaker version of this result (up to a quadratic twist) and one of the goals of this article is to remove this quadratic twist by different methods, using p-adic families. We further study the local Galois representation at p for nonregular holomorphic ...

In this paper, we consider the Frobenius endomorphism on twisted Edwards curve and give the characteristic polynomial of the map. Applying the Frobenius endomorphism on twisted Edwards curve, we construct a skew-Frobenius map defined on the quadratic twist of an twisted Edwards curve. Our results show that the Frobenius endomorphism on twisted Edwards curve and the skew-Frobenius endomorphism o...

This paper presents an automated tool for local, conformal refinement of all-hexahedral meshes based on the insertion of multidirectional twist planes into the spatial twist continuum. The refinement process is divided into independent refinement steps. In each step, an inserted twist plane modifies a single sheet or two parallel hex sheets. Six basic templates, chosen and oriented based on the...

We construct a minimax selector for eventually quadratic hamiltonians on cotangent bundles. We use it to give a relation between Hofer’s energy and Mather’s action minimizing function. We also study the local flatness of the set of twist maps.

We investigate the regulators of elliptic curves with rank 1 in some families of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve. In particular, we formulate some conjectures on the average size of these regulators. We also describe an efficient algorithm to compute explicitly some of the invariants of a rank one quadratic twist of an elliptic curve (regulator, order of the Tate-Shafarevich group, e...

We derive the elastic theory suitable for describing the free energy required to deform a stiff helical molecule with the symmetry of DNA. At quadratic levels in the strains we find, in addition to the independent bending and torsional energies incorporated in previous theories, a previously unknown coupling between twist and bend. If the backbone is given constant curvature, minimization of th...
