Let E be a rational elliptic curve of conductor N without complex multiplication and let K be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant D prime to N. Assume that the number of primes dividing N and inert in K is odd, and let H be the…

Kolyvagin proved that the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve over Q of analytic rank 0 or 1 is finite, and that its algebraic rank is equal to its analytic rank. A program of generalisation of this result to the case of some…

Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N$, let $p>3$ be a prime where $E$ has good ordinary reduction, and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In 1987, Perrin-Riou formulated an Iwasawa…

Let $E/k$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over a global function field $k$ of characteristic $p>3$, and $G\subset \mathrm{Gal}(k^{\mathrm{sep}}/k)$ be a topologically finitely generated subgroup. We prove that if $E/k$ has analytic rank…

The Birch and Swinnerton--Dyer conjecture famously predicts that the rank of an elliptic curve can be computed from its $L$-function. In this article we consider a weaker version of this conjecture called the parity conjecture and prove the…

We study the elliptic curve E given by y^2=x(x+1)(x+t) over the rational function field k(t) and its extensions K_d=k(\mu_d,t^{1/d}). When k is finite of characteristic p and d=p^f+1, we write down explicit points on E and show by…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Mordell--Weil rank $2$ and $p$ be an odd prime of good ordinary reduction. For every imaginary quadratic field $K$ satisfying the Heegner hypothesis, there is (subject to the…

We investigate the properties of a family of approximations of the Hasse-Weil $L$-function associated to an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We give a precise expression for the error of the approximations, and provide a visual…

Fix a relative quadratic extension E/F of totally real number rields and let G denote the Galois group of order 2. Let S be a finite set of primes of F containing the infinite primes and all those which ramify in E, let S_E denote the…

The leading order term for the average, over quadratic discriminants satisfying the so-called Heegner condition, of the Neron-Tate height of Heegner points on a rational elliptic curve E has been determined in [12]. In addition, the second…

We describe an algorithm to prove the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural formula for any given elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers of analytic rank zero or one. With computer assistance we have proved the formula for 16714…

Let E be an elliptic curve of conductor N and rank one over Q. So there is a non-constant morphism X+0(N) --> E defined over Q, where X+0(N) = X0(N)/wN and wN is the Fricke involution of the modular curve X+0(N). Under this morphism the…

Soit $E/\BmQ$ une courbe elliptique. Soit $D<0$ un discriminant fondamental suffisamment grand. Si $E(\bar{\BmQ})$ contient des points de Heegner de discriminant $D$, ces points engendrent un sous-groupe dont le rang est sup\'erieur \`a…

The Riemann Zeta-Function is the most studied L-function; it's zeroes give information about the prime numbers. We can associate L-functions to a wide array of objects, and in general, the zeroes of these L-functions give information about…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant $\Delta_E$. For primes $p$ of good reduction, let $N_p$ be the number of points modulo $p$ and write $N_p=p+1-a_p$. In 1965, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formulated a conjecture…

A Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for number fields $K / \mathbb{Q}$ would assert that $dim V_K = ord_{s = 1/2} \zeta_K (s)$ for some vector space functorially attached to $K$. Presently there is no natural candidate for the $V_K$'s.…

Suppose that $EE$ is a totally real number field which is the composite of all of its subfields $E$ that are relative quadratic extensions of a base field $F$. For each such $E$ with ring of integers $\O_E$, assume the truth of the…

Let $K = \mathbb Q(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is a prime congruent to $3$ modulo $4$. Let $A = A(q)$ denote the Gross curve over the Hilbert class field $H$ of $K$. In this note we use Magma to calculate the values $L(E/H, 1)$ for all such…

We formulate an analogue of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for Abelian schemes with everywhere good reduction over higher dimensional bases over finite fields of characteristic $p$. We prove the prime-to-$p$ part conditionally…

Given an elliptic curve E/Q, we show that 50% of the quadratic twists of E have $2^{\infty}$-Selmer corank 0 and 50% have $2^{\infty}$-Selmer corank 1. As one consequence, we prove that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture implies…
