Record breaking elliptic curve!
Collaboration PI Noam Elkies and Zev Klagsbrun found the first elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers with rank at least 29. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the rank is exactly 29. The previous record, with rank 28, dates from 2006. The new curve was found by a sieve search on a rank-17 elliptic fibration of a K3 surface – the same surface used to find the rank-28 curve – using the techniques described in their ANTS-XIV (2020) paper. For each specialization that was a candidate for high rank, they searched for points outside the fibration’s generic rank 17 subgroup of rational points; for the new curve this search found 12 more independent points.
Collaboration members contributing ANTS XVI papers
Collaboration affiliates contributed 10 manuscripts to the ANTS XVI conference, whose proceedings will appear in a special issue of “Research in Number Theory”.
Maass forms in the LMFDB
Rigorous Maass forms are now in the LMFDB! The computations use work of Kieran Child, David Lowry-Duda, and Andrei Seymour-Howell. Background may be found in Lowry-Duda’s blog post.
Murmurations research profiled in Quanta magazine
The Quanta magazine article Elliptic Curve `Murmurations’ Found with AI Take Flight profiles research by collaboration PI Andrew Sutherland and research scientist David Lowry-Duda. These phenomena were discovered through analysis of elliptic curves in the LMFDB.
LuCaNT volume to appear!
The papers presented at LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory (LuCaNT) will appear soon in the AMS Contemporary Mathematics series. Congratulations to editors John Cremona, John Jones, Jennifer Paulhus, Andrew Sutherland, and John Voight! This volume showcases contributions from numerous members of our team.
work of Jerson Caro to appear in Inventiones
The manuscript “A Chabauty-Coleman bound for surfaces”, by collaboration research scientist Jerson Caro and Hector Pasten, will appear in Inventiones mathematicae! This work provides the first application of this beautiful technique to higher-dimensional varieties. The preprint is available at arXiv:2102.01055.
