Quadratic twists of tiling number elliptic curves
Abstract
A positive integer is called a tiling number if the equilateral triangle can be dissected into congruent triangles for some integer . An integer is tiling number if and only if at least one of the elliptic curves has positive Mordell-Weil rank. Let denote one of the two curves. In this paper, using Waldspurger formula and an induction method, for positive square-free, as well as some other residue classes, we express the parity of analytic Sha of in terms of the genus number as runs over factors of . Together with -descent method which express in terms of the corank of a matrix of -coefficients, we show that for positive square-free, the analytic Sha of being odd is equivalent to that being trivial, as predicted by the BSD conjecture. We also show that, among the residue classes , resp. , the subset of such that both of and have analytic Sha odd is of limit density and , respectively, in particular, they are non-tiling numbers. This exhibits two new phenomena on tiling number elliptic curves: firstly, the limit density is different from the general phenomenon on elliptic curves predicted by Bhargava-Kane-Lenstra-Poonen-Rains; secondly, the joint distribution has different behavior among different residue classes.
