Abstract

We study a subclass of congruent elliptic curves E(n):y2=x3n2xE^{(n)}: y^2=x^3-n^2x, where nn is a positive integer congruent to 1(mod8)1\pmod 8 with all prime factors congruent to 1(mod4)1\pmod 4. We characterize such E(n)E^{(n)} with Mordell-Weil rank zero and 22-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate group isomorphic to (Z/2Z)2\big(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z \big)^2. We also discuss such E(n)E^{(n)} with 2-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate group isomorphic to (Z/2Z)2k\big(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z \big)^{2k} with k2k\ge2.
