21 the Hilbert Class Polynomial
18.783 Elliptic Curves Spring 2015 Lecture #21 04/28/2015 21 The Hilbert class polynomial In the previous lecture we proved that the field of modular functions for Γ0(N) is generated by the functions j(τ) and jN (τ) := j(Nτ), and we showed that C(j; jN ) is a finite extension of C(j). We then defined the classical modular polynomial ΦN (Y ) as the minimal polynomial of jN over C(j), and we proved that its coefficients are integer polynomials in j. Replacing j with a new variable X, we can view ΦN Z[X; Y ] as an integer polynomial in two variables. In this lecture we will use ΦN to prove that the Hilbert class polynomial Y HD(X) := (X − j(E)) j(E)2EllO(C) also has integer coefficients; here D = disc(O) and EllO(C) := fj(E) : End(E) ' Og is the finite set of j-invariants of elliptic curves E=C with complex multiplication (CM) by O. This implies that each j(E) 2 EllO(C) is an algebraic integer, meaning that any elliptic curve E=C with complex multiplication can actually be defined over a finite extension of Q (a number field). This fact is the key to relating the theory of elliptic curves over the complex numbers to elliptic curves over finite fields. 21.1 Isogenies Recall from Lecture 18 that if L1 is a sublattice of L2, and E1 ' C=L1 and E2 ' C=L2 are the corresponding elliptic curves, then there is an isogeny φ: E1 ! E2 whose kernel is isomorphic to the finite abelian group L2=L1. -
Curve Counting on Abelian Surfaces and Threefolds
Algebraic Geometry 5 (4) (2018) 398{463 doi:10.14231/AG-2018-012 Curve counting on abelian surfaces and threefolds Jim Bryan, Georg Oberdieck, Rahul Pandharipande and Qizheng Yin Abstract We study the enumerative geometry of algebraic curves on abelian surfaces and three- folds. In the abelian surface case, the theory is parallel to the well-developed study of the reduced Gromov{Witten theory of K3 surfaces. We prove complete results in all genera for primitive classes. The generating series are quasi-modular forms of pure weight. Conjectures for imprimitive classes are presented. In genus 2, the counts in all classes are proven. Special counts match the Euler characteristic calculations of the moduli spaces of stable pairs on abelian surfaces by G¨ottsche{Shende. A formula for hyperelliptic curve counting in terms of Jacobi forms is proven (modulo a transversality statement). For abelian threefolds, complete conjectures in terms of Jacobi forms for the gen- erating series of curve counts in primitive classes are presented. The base cases make connections to classical lattice counts of Debarre, G¨ottsche, and Lange{Sernesi. Further evidence is provided by Donaldson{Thomas partition function computations for abelian threefolds. A multiple cover structure is presented. The abelian threefold conjectures open a new direction in the subject. 1. Introduction 1.1 Vanishings Let A be a complex abelian variety of dimension d. The Gromov{Witten invariants of A in genus g and class β 2 H2(A; Z) are defined by integration against the virtual class of the moduli space of stable maps M g;n(A; β), Z A ∗ a1 ∗ an τa1 (γ1) ··· τan (γn) = ev1(γ1) 1 ··· evn(γn) n ; g,β vir [M g;n(A,β)] see [PT14] for an introduction. -
Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication and Modular Functions, by Goro Shimura, Princeton Univ
BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 36, Number 3, Pages 405{408 S 0273-0979(99)00784-3 Article electronically published on April 27, 1999 Abelian varieties with complex multiplication and modular functions, by Goro Shimura, Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ, 1998, xiv + 217 pp., $55.00, ISBN 0-691-01656-9 The subject that might be called “explicit class field theory” begins with Kro- necker’s Theorem: every abelian extension of the field of rational numbers Q is a subfield of a cyclotomic field Q(ζn), where ζn is a primitive nth root of 1. In other words, we get all abelian extensions of Q by adjoining all “special values” of e(x)=exp(2πix), i.e., with x Q. Hilbert’s twelfth problem, also called Kronecker’s Jugendtraum, is to do something2 similar for any number field K, i.e., to generate all abelian extensions of K by adjoining special values of suitable special functions. Nowadays we would add that the reciprocity law describing the Galois group of an abelian extension L/K in terms of ideals of K should also be given explicitly. After K = Q, the next case is that of an imaginary quadratic number field K, with the real torus R/Z replaced by an elliptic curve E with complex multiplication. (Kronecker knew what the result should be, although complete proofs were given only later, by Weber and Takagi.) For simplicity, let be the ring of integers in O K, and let A be an -ideal. Regarding A as a lattice in C, we get an elliptic curve O E = C/A with End(E)= ;Ehas complex multiplication, or CM,by .If j=j(A)isthej-invariant ofOE,thenK(j) is the Hilbert class field of K, i.e.,O the maximal abelian unramified extension of K. -
Chapter 5 Complex Numbers
Chapter 5 Complex numbers Why be one-dimensional when you can be two-dimensional? ? 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 − − − ? We begin by returning to the familiar number line, where I have placed the question marks there appear to be no numbers. I shall rectify this by defining the complex numbers which give us a number plane rather than just a number line. Complex numbers play a fundamental rˆolein mathematics. In this chapter, I shall use them to show how e and π are connected and how certain primes can be factorized. They are also fundamental to physics where they are used in quantum mechanics. 5.1 Complex number arithmetic In the set of real numbers we can add, subtract, multiply and divide, but we cannot always extract square roots. For example, the real number 1 has 125 126 CHAPTER 5. COMPLEX NUMBERS the two real square roots 1 and 1, whereas the real number 1 has no real square roots, the reason being that− the square of any real non-zero− number is always positive. In this section, we shall repair this lack of square roots and, as we shall learn, we shall in fact have achieved much more than this. Com- plex numbers were first studied in the 1500’s but were only fully accepted and used in the 1800’s. Warning! If r is a positive real number then √r is usually interpreted to mean the positive square root. If I want to emphasize that both square roots need to be considered I shall write √r. -
Hyperelliptic Curves with Many Automorphisms
Hyperelliptic Curves with Many Automorphisms Nicolas M¨uller Richard Pink Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics ETH Z¨urich ETH Z¨urich 8092 Z¨urich 8092 Z¨urich Switzerland Switzerland [email protected] [email protected] November 17, 2017 To Frans Oort Abstract We determine all complex hyperelliptic curves with many automorphisms and decide which of their jacobians have complex multiplication. arXiv:1711.06599v1 [math.AG] 17 Nov 2017 MSC classification: 14H45 (14H37, 14K22) 1 1 Introduction Let X be a smooth connected projective algebraic curve of genus g > 2 over the field of complex numbers. Following Rauch [17] and Wolfart [21] we say that X has many automorphisms if it cannot be deformed non-trivially together with its automorphism group. Given his life-long interest in special points on moduli spaces, Frans Oort [15, Question 5.18.(1)] asked whether the point in the moduli space of curves associated to a curve X with many automorphisms is special, i.e., whether the jacobian of X has complex multiplication. Here we say that an abelian variety A has complex multiplication over a field K if ◦ EndK(A) contains a commutative, semisimple Q-subalgebra of dimension 2 dim A. (This property is called “sufficiently many complex multiplications” in Chai, Conrad and Oort [6, Def. 1.3.1.2].) Wolfart [22] observed that the jacobian of a curve with many automorphisms does not generally have complex multiplication and answered Oort’s question for all g 6 4. In the present paper we answer Oort’s question for all hyperelliptic curves with many automorphisms. -

Lesson 3: Roots of Unity
NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 3 M3 PRECALCULUS AND ADVANCED TOPICS Lesson 3: Roots of Unity Student Outcomes . Students determine the complex roots of polynomial equations of the form 푥푛 = 1 and, more generally, equations of the form 푥푛 = 푘 positive integers 푛 and positive real numbers 푘. Students plot the 푛th roots of unity in the complex plane. Lesson Notes This lesson ties together work from Algebra II Module 1, where students studied the nature of the roots of polynomial equations and worked with polynomial identities and their recent work with the polar form of a complex number to find the 푛th roots of a complex number in Precalculus Module 1 Lessons 18 and 19. The goal here is to connect work within the algebra strand of solving polynomial equations to the geometry and arithmetic of complex numbers in the complex plane. Students determine solutions to polynomial equations using various methods and interpreting the results in the real and complex plane. Students need to extend factoring to the complex numbers (N-CN.C.8) and more fully understand the conclusion of the fundamental theorem of algebra (N-CN.C.9) by seeing that a polynomial of degree 푛 has 푛 complex roots when they consider the roots of unity graphed in the complex plane. This lesson helps students cement the claim of the fundamental theorem of algebra that the equation 푥푛 = 1 should have 푛 solutions as students find all 푛 solutions of the equation, not just the obvious solution 푥 = 1. Students plot the solutions in the plane and discover their symmetry. -
The Twelfth Problem of Hilbert Reminds Us, Although the Reminder Should
Some Contemporary Problems with Origins in the Jugendtraum Robert P. Langlands The twelfth problem of Hilbert reminds us, although the reminder should be unnecessary, of the blood relationship of three subjects which have since undergone often separate devel• opments. The first of these, the theory of class fields or of abelian extensions of number fields, attained what was pretty much its final form early in this century. The second, the algebraic theory of elliptic curves and, more generally, of abelian varieties, has been for fifty years a topic of research whose vigor and quality shows as yet no sign of abatement. The third, the theory of automorphic functions, has been slower to mature and is still inextricably entangled with the study of abelian varieties, especially of their moduli. Of course at the time of Hilbert these subjects had only begun to set themselves off from the general mathematical landscape as separate theories and at the time of Kronecker existed only as part of the theories of elliptic modular functions and of cyclotomicfields. It is in a letter from Kronecker to Dedekind of 1880,1 in which he explains his work on the relation between abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields and elliptic curves with complex multiplication, that the word Jugendtraum appears. Because these subjects were so interwoven it seems to have been impossible to disentangle the different kinds of mathematics which were involved in the Jugendtraum, especially to separate the algebraic aspects from the analytic or number theoretic. Hilbert in particular may have been led to mistake an accident, or perhaps necessity, of historical development for an “innigste gegenseitige Ber¨uhrung.” We may be able to judge this better if we attempt to view the mathematical content of the Jugendtraum with the eyes of a sophisticated contemporary mathematician. -
Three Aspects of the Theory of Complex Multiplication
Three Aspects of the Theory of Complex Multiplication Takase Masahito Introduction In the letter addressed to Dedekind dated March 15, 1880, Kronecker wrote: - the Abelian equations with square roots of rational numbers are ex hausted by the transformation equations of elliptic functions with sin gular modules, just as the Abelian equations with integral coefficients are exhausted by the cyclotomic equations. ([Kronecker 6] p. 455) This is a quite impressive conjecture as to the construction of Abelian equations over an imaginary quadratic number fields, which Kronecker called "my favorite youthful dream" (ibid.). The aim of the theory of complex multiplication is to solve Kronecker's youthful dream; however, it is not the history of formation of the theory of complex multiplication but Kronecker's youthful dream itself that I would like to consider in the present paper. I will consider Kronecker's youthful dream from three aspects: its history, its theoretical character, and its essential meaning in mathematics. First of all, I will refer to the history and theoretical character of the youthful dream (Part I). Abel modeled the division theory of elliptic functions after the division theory of a circle by Gauss and discovered the concept of an Abelian equation through the investigation of the algebraically solvable conditions of the division equations of elliptic functions. This discovery is the starting point of the path to Kronecker's youthful dream. If we follow the path from Abel to Kronecker, then it will soon become clear that Kronecker's youthful dream has the theoretical character to be called the inverse problem of Abel. -

ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY CODES OVER ABELIAN SURFACES CONTAINING NO ABSOLUTELY IRREDUCIBLE CURVES OF LOW GENUS YVES AUBRY, ELENA BERARDINI, FABIEN HERBAUT AND MARC PERRET Abstract. We provide a theoretical study of Algebraic Geometry codes con- structed from abelian surfaces defined over finite fields. We give a general bound on their minimum distance and we investigate how this estimation can be sharpened under the assumption that the abelian surface does not contain low genus curves. This approach naturally leads us to consider Weil restric- tions of elliptic curves and abelian surfaces which do not admit a principal polarization. 1. Introduction The success of Goppa construction ([5]) of codes over algebraic curves in break- ing the Gilbert-Varshamov bound (see Tsfasman-Vl˘adu¸t-Zink bound in [18]) has been generating much interest over the last forty years. -
Applications of Complex Multiplication of Elliptic Curves
Applications of Complex Multiplication of Elliptic Curves MASTER THESIS Supervisor: Candidate: Prof. Jean-Marc Massimo CHENAL COUVEIGNES UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA UNIVERSITÉ BORDEAUX 1 Facoltà di Scienze MM. FF. NN. U.F.R. Mathématiques et Informatique Academic year 2011-2012 Introduction Elliptic curves represent perhaps one of the most interesting points of contact between mathematical theory and real-world applications. Altough its fundamentals lie in the Algebraic Number Theory and Algebraic Ge- ometry, elliptic curves theory finds many applications in Cryptography and communication security. This connection was first suggested indepen- dently by N. Koblitz and V.S. Miller in the late ’80s, and many efforts have been made to study it thoroughly ever since. The goal of this Master Thesis is to study the complex multiplication of elliptic curves and to consider some applications. We do this by first studying basic Hilbert class field theory; in parallel, we describe elliptic curves over a generic field k, and then we specialize to the cases k = C and k = Fp. We next study the reduction of elliptic curves, we describe the so called Complex Multiplication method and finally we explain Schoof’s algorithm for computing point on elliptic curves over finite fields. As an application, we see how to compute square roots modulo a prime p. Ex- plicit algorithms and full-detailed examples are also given. Thesis Plan Complex Multiplication method (or CM-method, for short) exploit the so called Hilbert class polynomial, and in Chapter 1 we introduce all the tools we need to define it. Therefore we will describe modular forms and the j-function, and we provide an efficient method to compute the latter. -
On Complex and Noncommutative Tori
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 134, Number 4, Pages 973–981 S 0002-9939(05)08244-4 Article electronically published on September 28, 2005 ON COMPLEX AND NONCOMMUTATIVE TORI IGOR NIKOLAEV (Communicated by Michael Stillman) Abstract. The “noncommutative geometry” of complex algebraic curves is studied. As a first step, we clarify a morphism between elliptic curves, or ∗ 2πiθ complex tori, and C -algebras Tθ = {u, v | vu = e uv},ornoncommutative tori. The main result says that under the morphism, isomorphic elliptic curves map to the Morita equivalent noncommutative tori. Our approach is based on the rigidity of the length spectra of Riemann surfaces. Introduction Noncommutative geometry is a branch of algebraic geometry studying “varieties” over noncommutative rings. The noncommutative rings are usually taken to be rings of operators acting on a Hilbert space [7]. The rudiments of noncommutative geometry can be traced back to F. Klein [3], [4] or even earlier. The fundamental modern treatise [1] gives an account of status and perspective of the subject. ∗ The noncommutative torus Tθ is a C -algebra generated by linear operators u and v on the Hilbert space L2(S1) subject to the commutation relation vu = e2πiθuv, θ ∈ R − Q [11]. The classification of noncommutative tori was given in [2], [8], [11]. Recall that two such tori Tθ,Tθ are Morita equivalent if and only if θ, θ lie in the same orbit of the action of group GL(2, Z) on irrational numbers by linear fractional transformations. It is remarkable that the “moduli problem” for Tθ looks as such for the complex tori Eτ = C/(Z + τZ), where τ is complex modulus.
