Perfect squares representing the number of rational points on elliptic curves over finite field extensions (2003.09951v1)

Published 22 Mar 2020 in math.NT

Abstract: Let $q$ be a perfect power of a prime number $p$ and $E({\mathbb F}q)$ be an elliptic curve over ${\mathbb F}_q$ given by the equation $y2=x3+Ax+B$. For a positive integer $n$ we denote by $ # E({\mathbb F}{qn})$ the number of rational points on $E$ (including infinity) over the extension ${\mathbb F}{qn}$. Under a mild technical condition, we show that the sequence $\lbrace # E({\mathbb F}{qn}) \rbrace_{n>0}$ contains at most $10{200}$ perfect squares. If the mild condition is not satisfied, then $#E({\mathbb F}_{qn})$ is a perfect square for infinitely many $n$ including all the multiples of $24$. Our proof uses a quantitative version of the Subspace Theorem. We also find all the perfect squares for all such sequences in the range $q < 50$ and $n\leq 1000$.
