Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve over with discriminant . For primes of good reduction, let be the number of points modulo and write . In 1965, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formulated a conjecture which implies where is the order of the zero of the -function of at , which is predicted to be the Mordell-Weil rank of . We show that if the above limit exits, then the limit equals . We also relate this to Nagao's conjecture.
