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 ...
We describe methods for explicit computation of Galois groups of certain tamely ramified p-extensions. In the finite case this yields a short list of candidates for the Galois grou...
Let C be a smooth plane cubic curve with Jacobian E. We give a formula for the action of the 3-torsion of E on C, and explain how it is useful in studying the 3-Selmer group of an ...
We show that the locally free class group of an order in a semisimple algebra over a number field is isomorphic to a certain ray class group. This description is then used to prese...
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...
This paper aims at introducing generalized Jacobians as a new candidate for discrete logarithm (DL) based cryptography. The motivation for this work came from the observation that ...
