Abstract

We consider the Kolyvagin cohomology classes associated to an elliptic curve EE defined over Q\mathbb{Q} from a computational point of view. We explain how to go from a model of a class as an element of (E(L)/pE(L))Gal(L/Q)(E(L)/pE(L))^{\mathrm{Gal}(L/\mathbb{Q})}, where pp is prime and LL is a dihedral extension of Q\mathbb{Q} of degree 2p2p, to a geometric model as a genus one curve embedded in Pp1\mathbb{P}^{p-1}. We adapt the existing methods to compute Heegner points to our situation, and explicitly compute them as elements of E(L)E(L). Finally, we compute explicit equations for several genus one curves that represent non-trivial elements of the p-torsion part of the Tate-Shafarevich group of EE, for p11p \leq 11, and hence are counterexamples to the Hasse principle.
