An elliptic K3 surface X/Q(t) with Mordell-Weil rank 17, I: Formulas for X and base changes of rank 18 and 19

Noam D. Elkies

In [Elkies 2006, Elkies 2007] we announced a K3 surface X/Q with Néron--Severi group NS(X) = NS_Q(X) of rank 19 and an elliptic fibration of Mordell--Weil rank 17. This is the larg…

Fast evaluation of Riemann theta functions in any dimension

Noam D. Elkies, Jean Kieffer

We describe an algorithm to numerically evaluate Riemann theta functions in any dimension in quasi-linear time in terms of the required precision, uniformly on reduced input. This…

The constructive inverse Galois problem via Hilbert modular forms: realizing the transitive group 17T7

Raymond van Bommel, Edgar Costa, Noam D. Elkies +3

We show how Hilbert modular forms can be used in the constructive inverse Galois problem over the rationals. In particular, we prove that the transitive permutation group 17T7, iso…

Equations for a K3 Lehmer map

Simon Brandhorst, Noam D. Elkies

McMullen proved that there exists an automorphism of minimal topological entropy on a projective K3 surface. We derive equations for the surface and its automorphism. We reconstruc…

New Rank Records For Elliptic Curves Having Rational Torsion

Noam D. Elkies, Zev Klagsbrun

We present rank-record breaking elliptic curves having torsion subgroups Z/2Z, Z/3Z, Z/4Z, Z/6Z, and Z/7Z.

Periodic continued fractions over -integers in number fields and Skolem's -adic method

Bradley W. Brock, Noam D. Elkies, Bruce W. Jordan

We generalize the classical theory of periodic continued fractions (PCFs) over to rings of -integers in a number field. Let ${\mathcal B}=\{β, {β^*}…
