Torsion points on elliptic curves over number fields of small degree
We determine the set $S(d)$ of possible prime orders of $K$-rational points on elliptic curves over number fields $K$ of degree $d$, for $d = 4$, $5$, $6$, and $7$.

Points of order 13 on elliptic curves
We pick up the study of 13-torsion in elliptic curves where Mazur and Tate left off 45 years ago. We consider various questions concerning elliptic curves defined over the maximal totally real subfield of the 13th cyclotomic field (where J_1(13) acquires everywhere good reduction), and over quadratic extensions.

Torsion groups of elliptic curves over quadratic fields
We describe methods to determine all the possible torsion groups of an elliptic curve that actually appear over a fixed quadratic field. We use these methods to find, for each group that can appear over a quadratic field, the field with the smallest absolute value of it's discriminant such that there exists an elliptic curve with that torsion. We also examine the interplay of the torsion and rank over a fixed quadratic field and see that what happens is very different than over $\Q$. Finally we give some results concerning the number and density of fields with an elliptic curve with given torsion over them.
