Abstract

We investigate the Galois module structure of the Tate-Shafarevich group of elliptic curves. For a Dirichlet character χ\chi, we give an explicit conjecture relating the ideal factorization of L(E,χ,1)L(E,\chi,1) to the Galois module structure of the Tate-Shafarevich group of E/KE/K, where χ\chi factors through the Galois group of K/QK/\mathbb{Q}. We provide numerical evidence for this conjecture using the methods of visualization and pp-descent. For the latter, we present a procedure that makes performing an 1111-descent over a C5C_5 number field practical for an elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q} with complex multiplication. We also expect that our method can be pushed to perform higher descents (e.g. 3131-descent) over a C5C_5 number field given more computational power.
