Abstract

We prove a formula for the coefficients of a weight 3/23/2 Cohen-Eisenstein series of square-free level NN. This formula generalizes a result of Gross and in particular, it proves a conjecture of Quattrini. Let ll be an odd prime number. For any elliptic curve EE defined over Q\mathbb{Q} of rank zero and square-free conductor NN, if lE(Q)l \mid |E(\mathbb{Q})|, under certain conditions on the Shafarevich-Tate group IIIDIII_D, we show that ll divides IIID|III_D| if and only if ll divides the class number h(D)h(-D) of Q(D).\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D}).
