We study elliptic curves of the form x^3+y^3=2^p and x^3+y^3=2p^2 where p is any odd prime satisfying p ≡ 2 mod 9 or p ≡ 5 mod 9. We first show that the 3-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these curves. Then we relate their 2-Selmer group to the 2-rank of the ideal class group of Q(\sqrt[3]{p}) to obtain some examples of elliptic curves with rank one and non-trivial 2-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.

This paper is devoted to finding the highest possible focus order of planar polynomial differential equations. The results consist of two parts: (i) we explicitly construct a class of concrete systems of degree n, where n+1 is a prime p or a power of a prime p^k, and show that these systems can have a focus order n^2-n; (ii) we theoretically prove the existence of polynomial systems of degree n having a focus order n^2-1 for any even number n. Corresponding results for odd n and more concrete examples having higher focus orders are given too.

We develop a general procedure to study the combinatorial structure of Arthur packets for p-adic quasisplit Sp(N) and O(N) following the works of Mœglin. This allows us to answer many delicate questions concerning the Arthur packets of these groups, for example the size of the packets.

In this paper we prove the equidistribution of the restriction of the mass of automorphic newforms to a nonsplit torus in the depth aspect. This result is better than the current known results on the similar problem in the eigenvalue aspect. The method is relatively elementary and makes use of the known effective QUE result in the depth aspect.

In this short paper we give the sub-local upper bound for the sup norm of an automorphic form on PGL_n, whose associated automorphic representation has finite conductor C(π)=p^c with c→∞, and its local component at the place of ramification is a minimal vector belonging to an irreducible representation with generic induction datum.
