For the families ax4 = by4 +z4 +v4 +w4 , a, b = 1, . . . , 100, and ax3 = by3 + z3 + v3 + w3 , a, b = 1, . . . , 100, of projective algebraic threefolds, we test numerically the co...
We present a general framework for constructing families of elliptic curves of prime order with prescribed embedding degree. We demonstrate this method by constructing curves with ...
Abstract. We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to t...
The theory of 4-descent on elliptic curves has been developed in the PhD theses of Siksek [18], Womack [21] and Stamminger [20]. Prompted by our use of 4-descent in the search for ...
Let K be a p-adic local field and E an elliptic curve defined over K. The component group of E is the group E(K)/E0(K), where E0(K) denotes the subgroup of points of good reduction...
