Abstract

This is the third paper in a series where we study arithmetic applications of the higher elliptic Gamma functions. In the first two articles in this series, we defined geometric families of these functions and proved that they satisfy coboundary and cocycle relations under the action of special linear groups and associated congruence subgroups. The main purpose of the present paper is to present a construction of conjectural higher elliptic units above number fields with exactly one complex place as special values of higher elliptic Gamma functions, upgrading the construction carried out by Bergeron, Charollois and García for complex cubic fields. These higher elliptic units are obtained by evaluating a multiplicative $(n-2)$-cocycle built from higher elliptic Gamma functions against a $(n-2)$-cycle associated to some group of totally positive units of a given number field of degree $n$ with exactly one complex place. We conjecture that these higher elliptic units are algebraic units which belong to prescribed abelian extensions of the base field where they are evaluated and that they satisfy a Kronecker limit formula which relates the logarithm of their modulus to values of derivatives of partial zeta functions at $s = 0$ in the base field. We showcase our conjecture on various examples for number fields of degree 3, 4 and 5.

The integer group determinants for GA(1,p) and related semidirect products

We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine groups of degree one GA(1,$p$) when $p=5,7,11$ and $23$, and for $\mathbb Z_7\rtimes \mathbb Z_3,$ $\mathbb Z_{11}\rtimes \mathbb Z_5$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_6,$ showing that the obvious divisibility and congruence conditions arising from the form of the group determinant when $n=p-1$ or $\frac{1}{2}(p-1)$, can be sufficient as well as necessary for these types of groups (although in the latter case we must work with norms of integers in a quadratic field). For $p=13$ this also happens for the remaining groups of this type, $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes_5 \mathbb Z_4$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_3$, (working in an appropriate cubic and quartic field).

The density of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with a rational 3-torsion point or a rational 3-isogeny

We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic numbers. We determine these densities by calculating the corresponding $p$-adic volume integrals and analyzing certain modular curves. Additionally, we explore the case of $\ell$-torsion for $\ell>3$ prime.
