Heegner points at Eisenstein primes and twists of elliptic curves
Abstract
Given an elliptic curve over , a celebrated conjecture of Goldfeld asserts that a positive proportion of its quadratic twists should have analytic rank 0 (resp. 1). We show this conjecture holds whenever has a rational 3-isogeny. We also prove the analogous result for the sextic twists of -invariant 0 curves (Mordell curves). To prove these results, we establish a general criterion for the non-triviality of the -adic logarithm of Heegner points at an Eisenstein prime , in terms of the relative -class numbers of certain number fields and then apply this criterion to the special case . As a by-product, we also prove the 3-part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for many elliptic curves of -invariant 0.
