Split-Cubic Curves from D(n)-Triples: A Bounded Finite-Field Census

Abstract

We record a finite-field census of the split-cubic elliptic curves $E_{a,b,c}^{(n)}:y^2=(ax+n)(bx+n)(cx+n)$ attached to positive integral $D(n)$-triples. For $n\in\{-3,3,5,8,12,20\}$ there are $164$ such triples with $1\le a<b<c\le100$, allowing zero squares. Their reductions at the ten primes $\operatorname{NextPrime}(10^k)$, $3\le k\le12$, give $1640$ records, of which $45$ have cofactor four relative to the largest prime divisor of the group order. We collect the standard split-cubic and quadratic-twist identities in the explicit normalization $λ=b(c-a)/(c(b-a))$ and $δ=cn(b-a)$, and use them to audit the point counts. The archive records group orders, factorizations, cofactors, embedding degrees and transfer-field bit lengths. A worked example compares the main curve with its nonsquare twist. The census is deterministic and descriptive; it provides neither an asymptotic density estimate nor cryptographic parameter recommendations.

New Results for Euler Sums

We present a large number of analytic evaluations of Euler sums, namely sums such as \begin{align} M(m,n_0,n_1,n_2, \ldots, n_t) &= \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{H(k)^m}{k^{n_0} (k+1)^{n_1} (k+2)^{n_2} \cdots (k+t)^{n_t}}, \nonumber \end{align} for nonnegative integers $m$ and $(n_i)$, with $m \geq 1$ and $n_0 + n_1 + \cdots + n_t \geq 2$, where $H(k) = \sum_{j=1}^k 1/j$ is the harmonic function. These results were obtained either by algebraic manipulations, or else by very high-precision numerical evaluations combined with an integer relation algorithm to obtain the analytic formulas. We show how many of these results can be derived from a few basic facts, and that these techniques are applicable to Euler sums of even more general forms than the above cases. We then show that these results permit the calculation of constants for Euler sums resembling the Stieltjes $γ$ constants arising in the theory of the Riemann zeta function, and we also present some preliminary results on the asymptotic behavior of these constants. A sign error has been corrected in eq. 98.

The moments of split greatest common divisors

Sequences of the form $(\gcd(u_n,v_n))_{n \in \mathbb N}$, with $(u_n)_n$, $(v_n)_n$ sums of $S$-units, have been considered by several authors. The study of $\gcd(n,u_n)$ corresponds, after Silverman, to divisibility sequences arising from the algebraic group $\mathbb G_{\mathrm{a}} \times \mathbb G_{\mathrm{m}}$; in this case, Sanna determined all asymptotic moments of the arithmetic function $\log\,\gcd (n,u_n)$ when $(u_n)_n$ is a Lucas sequence. Here, we characterize the asymptotic behavior of the moments themselves $\sum_{n \leq x}\,\gcd(n,u_n)^λ$, thus solving the moment problem for $\mathbb G_{\mathrm{a}} \times \mathbb G_{\mathrm{m}}$. We give both unconditional and conditional results, the latter only relying on standard conjectures in analytic number theory.
