About the Lab

Professor Bo-Hae Im's research focuses on arithmetic geometry and arithmetic dynamics, particularly the structure of Mordell-Weil groups over infinite extensions of number fields. Her work investigates the rank behavior of elliptic curves and abelian varieties over Galois extensions, especially in the context of fixed fields under Galois automorphisms. She explores conditions under which these groups have infinite rank, contributing significantly to the understanding of rational points on algebraic varieties over global fields.

Mordell–Weil Groups and the Rank of Elliptic Curves over Large Fields
Bo‐Hae Im
SJR Q1Canadian Journal of MathematicsOA

Abstract Let K be a number field, an algebraic closure of K and E / K an elliptic curve defined over K . In this paper, we prove that if E / K has a K -rational point P such that 2 P ≠ O and 3 P ≠ O , then for each σ ∈ Gal( / K ), the Mordell–Weil group of E over the fixed subfield of under σ has infinite rank.

Abelian varieties over cyclic fields
Bo‐Hae Im, Michael Larsen

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $\neq 2$ such that every finite separable extension of $K$ is cyclic. Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $K$. If $K$ is infinite, then $A(K)$ is Zariski-dense in $A$. If $K$ is not locally finite, the rank of $A$ over $K$ is infinite.

On products of quadratic twists and ranks of elliptic curves over large fields
Bo‐Hae Im, Álvaro Lozano‐Robledo
SJR Q1Journal of the London Mathematical Society

In this paper, we give examples of elliptic curves E/K over a number field K satisfying the property that there exist P1, P2 ∈ K[t] such that the twists E P 1 , E P 2 and E P 1 P 2 are of positive rank over K(t). As a consequence of this result on twists, we show that for those elliptic curves E/K, and for each σ ∈ G a l ( K ¯ / K ) , the rank of E over the fixed field (Kab)σ under σ is infinite, where Kab is the maximal abelian extension of K.

Concordant numbers within arithmetic progressions and elliptic curves
Bo‐Hae Im
SJR Q1Proceedings of the American Mathematical SocietyOA

If the system of two diophantine equations $X^2+mY^2=Z^2$ and $X^2+nY^2=W^2$ has infinitely many integer solutions $(X,Y,Z,W)$ with $\operatorname {gcd}(X,Y)=1$, equivalently, the elliptic curve $E_{m,n} : y^2=x(x+m)(x+n)$ has positive rank over $\mathbb {Q}$, then $(m,n)$ is called a strongly concordant pair. We prove that for a given positive integer $M$ and an integer $k$, the number of strongly concordant pairs $(m, n)$ with $m,n\in [1,N]$ and $m,n \equiv k$ is at least $O(N)$, and we give a

If $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over a quadratic field $K$, and the $j$-invariant of $E$ is not $0$ or $1728$, then $E(\mathbb{Q}^{\mathrm{ab}})$ has infinite rank. If $E$ is an elliptic curve in Legendre form, $y^2 = x(x-1)(x-\lambda)$, where $\math

Notes on Weierstrass Points of Modular Curves X_0(N)
Bo‐Hae Im, Daeyeol Jeon, Chang Heon Kim
SJR Q3Taiwanese Journal of MathematicsOA

We give conditions for when the fixed points by the partial Atkin-Lehner involutions on $X_0(N)$ are Weierstrass points as an extension of the result by Lehner and Newman [18]. Furthermore, we complete their result by determining whether the fixed points by the full Atkin-Lehner involutions on $X_0(N)$ are Weierstrass points or not.
