Title: Title: n-Selmer group of elliptic curves over number fields
Abstract: The recent work of Bhargava et al., Mazur-Rubin and others on the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve has made a significant impact on the arithmetic of the elliptic curve. Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with a rational 3-isogeny. In this talk, we will discuss the 3-Selmer group of E. We will indicate some applications to a classical Diophantine problem related to rational cube sum. This talk is based on a joint work with D. Majumdar and P. Shingavekar.
