Abstract
Let be an optimal elliptic curve, be a negative fundamental discriminant coprime to the conductor of and let be the twist of by . A conjecture of Agashe predicts that if has analytic rank , then the square of the order of the torsion subgroup of divides the product of the order of the Shafarevich-Tate group of and the orders of the arithmetic component groups of , up to a power of . This conjecture can be viewed as evidence for the second part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves of analytic rank zero. We provide a proof of a slightly more general statement without using the optimality hypothesis.
