Abstract

In 1988, Koblitz conjectured an asymptotic formula for the number of primes $p \le x$ for which the reduction of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ has prime order. Building on the work of Balog, Cojocaru, and David, who proved this conjecture on average in 2011, we extend the result to primes $p$ lying in arithmetic progressions. Our asymptotic formula holds uniformly for moduli up to a fixed power of $\log x$. We also show that the resulting average constant matches the theoretical constant predicted by Lee, Mayle, and Wang in 2025 using Galois representations.

On Greenberg's conjecture for rational elliptic curves at Eisenstein primes

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve, and let $p$ be an odd prime of ordinary reduction for $E$, and assume that $E$ admits a rational $p$-isogeny. In this paper we prove Greenberg's conjecture on the vanishing of algebraic Iwasawa $\mu$-invariants of the Selmer groups attached to $E$ over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}...

On the arithmetic of Tate-Shafarevich groups via Kolyvagin's conjecture

We investigate how Heegner points detect the finiteness of the $p$-primary part of Tate-Shafarevich groups of semi-stable elliptic curves over the rationals of \emph{arbitrary} rank with any good reduction prime $p \geq 5$ with irreducible mod $p$ representation and partially recover \c{C}iperiani--Wiles'theorem on sol...

Iwasawa theory of CM elliptic curves at potentially supersingular primes

We develop a plus and minus Iwasawa theory for CM elliptic curves with potentially supersingular reduction at a prime $p\ge5$. We construct local points that satisfy suitable"jumping trace"relations using the Honda--Demchenko theory applied to height-two formal groups over local fields with small ramification degree. T...

On the Ramification of Quadratic Fields where there is a torsion growth

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be a rational elliptic curve whose torsion group grows over a quadratic field $K$. In a previous paper, a relation between the primes of the conductor of $E$ and the primes that divide the discriminant of $K$ was shown. In the present paper, we go further in this study and we compute the ramification...

Triple divisor type functions in arithmetic progressions to prime power moduli

We study the equidistribution in arithmetic progressions modulo powers of a fixed odd prime of Hecke eigenvalues of noncuspidal $\mathrm{GL}_3$ automorphic forms, with a focus on the convolution coefficients $\lambda_{1\boxplus f}(n)=(\lambda_f\star 1)(n)$,attached to a level $1$ holomorphic primitive cusp form $f$. Ut...

The modified Cartan conjecture

In 1928 H. Cartan stated a conjecture about holomorphic curves in $\mathbb{P}^n$ parametrized by the unit disc, omitting $n+2$ hyperplanes in general position. He proved it for $n=2$. In 1996 the first-named author constructed counterexamples for all $n\geq 3$, and proposed a modified form of Cartan's conjecture which...
