Abstract. We show that a specific even unimodular lattice of dimension 80, first investigated by Schulze-Pillot and others, is extremal (i.e., the minimal nonzero norm is 8). Thi...
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 ...
