Abstract

For elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ in short Weierstrass form \[ E=E(a_4,a_6): y^2=x^3+a_4x+a_6, \] we derive a multivariable Euler product generating function which encodes the Tamagawa product $Tam(E)=\prod_p c_p(E)$. Using this generating function, we compute limiting distributions, exact covariances, and moment and tail bounds for four important statistics on the Tamagawa number; for example we show that more than half of all curves in this height ordering have trivial Tamagawa product, about $42.2\%$ have exactly one prime with nontrivial local Tamagawa number, and only about $6.8\%$ have exactly two such primes. The product is obtained by specializing an Euler product indexed by local reduction data that we derive from Tate's algorithm. The results in this paper were autoformalized in Lean by AxiomProver.

Solvable extensions of number fields ramified at only one prime are Ostrowski

In this note, we show that, under a certain condition, solvable extensions of number fields ramifed at only one prime are Ostrowski. As a corollary, we deduce a generalization of Hilbert Theorem 94 to cyclic extensions ramifed at one prime.

The integer group determinants for GA(1,p) and related semidirect products

We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine groups of degree one GA(1,$p$) when $p=5,7,11$ and $23$, and for $\mathbb Z_7\rtimes \mathbb Z_3,$ $\mathbb Z_{11}\rtimes \mathbb Z_5$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_6,$ showing that the obvious divisibility and congruence conditions arising from the form of the group determinant when $n=p-1$ or $\frac{1}{2}(p-1)$, can be sufficient as well as necessary for these types of groups (although in the latter case we must work with norms of integers in a quadratic field). For $p=13$ this also happens for the remaining groups of this type, $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes_5 \mathbb Z_4$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_3$, (working in an appropriate cubic and quartic field).

The density of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with a rational 3-torsion point or a rational 3-isogeny

We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic numbers. We determine these densities by calculating the corresponding $p$-adic volume integrals and analyzing certain modular curves. Additionally, we explore the case of $\ell$-torsion for $\ell>3$ prime.
