Resultants and height bounds for zeros of homogeneous polynomial systems

Rauh, Nikolas Marcel 26 July 2013 (has links)
In 1955, Cassels proved a now celebrated theorem giving a search bound algorithm for determining whether a quadratic form has a nontrivial zero over the rationals. Since then, his work has been greatly generalized, but most of these newer techniques do not follow his original method of proof. In this thesis, we revisit his 1955 proof, modernize his tools and language, and use this machinery to prove more general theorems regarding height bounds for the common zeros of a system of polynomials in terms of the heights of those polynomials. We then use these theorems to give a short proof of a more general (albeit, known) version of Cassels' Theorem and give some weaker results concerning the rational points of a cubic or a pair of quadratics. / text

On non-square order Tate-Shafarevich groups of non-simple abelian surfaces over the rationals

Keil, Stefan 13 February 2014 (has links)
Bei elliptischen Kurven E/K über einem Zahlkörper K zwingt die Cassels-Tate Paarung die Ordnung der Tate-Shafarevich Gruppe Sha(E/K) zu einem Quadrat. Ist A/K eine prinzipal polarisierte abelschen Varietät, so ist bewiesen, daß die Ordnung von Sha(A/K) ein Quadrat oder zweimal ein Quadrat ist. William Stein vermutet, daß es für jede quadratfreie positive ganze Zahl k eine abelsche Varietät A/Q gibt, mit #Sha(A/Q)=kn². Jedoch ist es ein offenes Problem was zu erwarten ist, wenn die Dimension von A/Q beschränkt wird. Betrachtet man ausschließlich abelsche Flächen B/Q, so liefern Resultate von Poonen, Stoll und Stein Beispiele mit #Sha(B/Q)=kn², für k aus {1,2,3}. Diese Arbeit studiert tiefgehend nicht-einfache abelsche Flächen B/Q, d.h. es gibt elliptische Kurven E_1/Q und E_2/Q und eine Isogenie phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B. Relativ zur quadratischen Ordnung der Tate-Shafarevich Gruppe von E_1 x E_2 soll die Ordnung von Sha(B/Q) bestimmt werden. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen wird die Isogenie-Invarianz der Vermutung von Birch und Swinnerton-Dyer ausgenutzt. Für jedes k aus {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13,14} wird eine nicht-einfache, nicht-prinzipal polarisierte abelsche Fläche B/Q konstruiert, mit #Sha(B/Q)=kn². Desweiteren wird computergestützt berechnet wie oft #Sha(B/Q)=5n², sofern die Isogenie phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B zyklisch vom Grad 5 ist. Es stellt sich heraus, daß dies bei circa 50% der ersten 20 Millionen Beispielen der Fall ist. Abschließend wird gezeigt, daß wenn phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B zyklisch ist und #Sha(B/Q)=kn², so liegt k in {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13}. Bei allgemeinen Isogenien phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B bleibt es unklar, ob k nur endlich viele verschiedene Werte annehmen kann. Im Anhang wird auf abelsche Flächen eingegangen, welche isogen zu der Jacobischen J einer hyperelliptischen Kurve über Q sind. Mit den in dieser Arbeit entwickelten Techniken können, anhand gewisser zyklischer Isogenien phi: J -> B, für jedes k in {11,17,23,29} Beispiele mit #Sha(B/Q)=kn² gegeben werden. / For elliptic curves E/K over a number field K the Cassels-Tate pairing forces the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group Sha(E/K) to be a perfect square. It is known, that if A/K is a principally polarised abelian variety, then the order of Sha(A/K) is a square or twice a square. William Stein conjectures that for any given square-free positive integer k there is an abelian variety A/Q, such that #Sha(A/Q)=kn². However, it is an open question what to expect if the dimension of A/Q is bounded. Restricting to abelian surfaces B/Q, then results of Poonen, Stoll and Stein imply that there are examples such that #Sha(B/Q)=kn², for k in {1,2,3}. In this thesis we focus in depth on non-simple abelian surfaces B/Q, i.e. there are elliptic curves E_1/Q and E_2/Q and an isogeny phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B. We want to compute the order of Sha(B/Q) with respect to the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of E_1 x E_2, which has square order. To achieve this goal, we explore the invariance under isogeny of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. For each k in {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13,14} we construct a non-simple non-principally polarised abelian surface B/Q, such that #Sha(B/Q)=kn². Furthermore, we compute numerically how often the order of Sha(B/Q) equals five times a square, for cyclic isogenies phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B of degree 5. It turns out that this happens to be the case in approx. 50% of the first 20 million examples we have checked. Finally, we prove that if there is a cyclic isogeny phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B and #Sha(B/Q)=kn², then k is in {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13}. For general isogenies phi: E_1 x E_2 -> B it remains unclear, whether there are only finitely many possibilities for k. In the appendix, we briefly consider abelian surfaces B/Q being isogenous to Jacobians J of hyperelliptic curves over Q. The techniques developed in this thesis allow to understand certain cyclic isogenies phi: J -> B. For each k in {11,17,23,29}, we provide an example with #Sha(B/Q)=kn².
