Abstract

The paper formulates a precise relationship between the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve EE over Q{\mathbb Q} with a quotient of the classgroup of Q(E[p]){\mathbb Q}(E[p]) on which Gal(Q(E[p]/Q)=GL2(Z/p)Gal({\mathbb Q}(E[p]/{\mathbb Q}) = GL_2({\mathbb Z}/p) operates by its standard 2 dimensional representation over Z/p{\mathbb Z}/p. We establish such a relationship in most cases.
