A cycle of elliptic curves is a list of elliptic curves over finite fields such that the number of points on one curve is equal to the size of the field of definition of the next, in a cyclic way. We study cycles of elliptic curves in which every curve is pairing-friendly. These have recently found notable applications in pairing-based cryptography, for instance in improving the scalability of distributed ledger technologies. We construct a new cycle of length 4 consisting of MNT curves, and characterize all the possibilities for cycles consisting of MNT curves. We rule out cycles of length 2 for particular choices of small embedding degrees. We show that long cycles cannot be constructed from families of curves with the same complex multiplication discriminant, and that cycles of composite order elliptic curves cannot exist. We show that there are no cycles consisting of curves from only the Freeman or Barreto--Naehrig families.
We discuss a non-computational elementary approach to a well-known criterion of divisibility by 2 in the group of rational points on an elliptic curve.
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve, with identity $O$, and let $C$ be a cyclic subgroup of odd order $N$, over an algebraically closed field $k$ with $operatorname{char} k mid N$. For $P in C$, let $s_P$ be a rational function with divisor $N cdot P - N c
We prove new results on splitting Brauer classes by genus 1 curves, settling in particular the case of degree 7 classes over global fields. Though our method is cohomological in nature, and proceeds by considering the more difficult problem of splitt
We prove two theorems concerning isogenies of elliptic curves over function fields. The first one describes the variation of the height of the $j$-invariant in an isogeny class. The second one is an isogeny estimate, providing an explicit bound on th
This is an introduction to a probabilistic model for the arithmetic of elliptic curves, a model developed in a series of articles of the author with Bhargava, Kane, Lenstra, Park, Rains, Voight, and Wood. We discuss the theoretical evidence for the m
