Modular forms | Algebraic number theory

Elliptic unit

In mathematics, elliptic units are certain units of abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields constructed using singular values of modular functions, or division values of elliptic functions. They were introduced by Gilles Robert in 1973, and were used by John Coates and Andrew Wiles in their work on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. Elliptic units are an analogue for imaginary quadratic fields of cyclotomic units. They form an example of an Euler system. (Wikipedia).

What is... an elliptic curve?

In this talk, we will define elliptic curves and, more importantly, we will try to motivate why they are central to modern number theory. Elliptic curves are ubiquitous not only in number theory, but also in algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, physics, and beyond. They were

Amicable Pairs and Aliquot Cycles for Elliptic Curves

An amicable pair for an elliptic curve E/Q is a pair of primes (p,q) of good reduction for E satisfying #E(Fp) = q and #E(Fq) = p. Aliquot cycles are analogously defined longer cycles. Although rare for non-CM curves, amicable pairs are -- surprisingly -- relatively abundant in the CM case
