Central $L$ values of congruent number elliptic curves

Abstract

Let EnE_n be the congruent number elliptic curve y2=x3n2xy^2=x^3-n^2x, where nn is square-free and not divisible by primes p3(mod4)p\equiv 3\pmod 4. In this paper, we prove that L(En,1)L(E_n,1) can be expressed as the square of CM values of some simple theta functions, generalizing two classical formulas of Gauss. Our result is meaningful in both theory and practical computation.
