Integrality of twisted L-values of elliptic curves

Abstract

Under suitable, fairly weak hypotheses on an elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q} and a primitive non-trivial Dirichlet character χ\chi, we show that the algebraic LL-value L(E,χ)\mathscr{L}(E,\chi) at s=1s=1 is an algebraic integer. For instance, for semistable curves L(E,χ)\mathscr{L}(E,\chi) is integral whenever EE admits no isogenies defined over Q\mathbb{Q}. Moreover we give examples illustrating that our hypotheses are necessary for integrality to hold.
