This paper continues the authors previous investigations concerning orders of Tate-Shafarevich groups in quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve, and for the family of the Neumann-Setzer type elliptic curves. Here we present the results…

We provide a formula for the order of the Tate--Shafarevich group of elliptic curves over dihedral extensions of number fields of order $2n$, up to $4^{th}$ powers and primes dividing $n$. Specifically, for odd $n$ it is equal to the order…

We present the results of our search for the orders of Tate-Shafarevich groups for the quadratic twists of elliptic curves. We formulate a general conjecture, giving for a fixed elliptic curve $E$ over $\Bbb Q$ and positive integer $k$, an…

We characterize quadratic twists of $y^2=x(x-a^2)(x+b^2)$ with Mordell-Weil groups and $2$-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate groups being isomorphic to $(\mathb Z/2\mathbb Z)^2$ under certain conditions. We also obtain the distribution…

The structure of the Tate-Shafarevich groups of a class of elliptic curves over global function fields is determined. These are known to be finite abelian groups from the monograph [1] and hence they are direct sums of finite cyclic groups…

The paper formulates a precise relationship between the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve $E$ over ${\mathbb Q}$ with a quotient of the classgroup of ${\mathbb Q}(E[p])$ on which $Gal({\mathbb Q}(E[p]/{\mathbb Q}) = GL_2({\mathbb…

For any number field, we prove that there exists an elliptic curve defined over this field such that its Shafarevich-Tate group has a nontrivial 2-torsion subgroup.

This is an updated version of ANT-0166. Generalizing results of Stroeker and Top we show that the 2-ranks of the Tate-Shafarevich groups of the elliptic curves $y^2 = (x+k)(x^2+k^2)$ can become arbitrarily large. We also present a…

We describe the structure of Tate-Shafarevich groups of a constant elliptic curves over function fields by exploiting the volcano structure of isogeny graphs of elliptic curves over finite fields.

We study elliptic curves of the form $x^3+y^3=2p$ and $x^3+y^3=2p^2$ where $p$ is any odd prime satisfying $p\equiv 2\bmod 9$ or $p\equiv 5\bmod 9$. We first show that the $3$-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these…

Under a non-torsion assumption on Heegner points, results of Kolyvagin describe the structure of Shafarevich-Tate groups of elliptic curves. In this paper we prove analogous results for ($p$-primary) Shafarevich-Tate groups associated with…

Franz Lemmermeyer's previous work laid the framework for a description of the arithmetic of Pell conics, which is analogous to that of elliptic curves. He describes a group law on conics and conjectures the existence of an analogous…

The aim of this article is to give some numerical data related to the order of the Selmer groups in twist families of elliptic curves. To do this we assume the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is true and we use a celebrated theorem of…

We show that the number of copies of ${\Bbb Q}_p/{\Bbb Z}_p$ in the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve $E$ over ${\Bbb Q}$ with complex multipication, is at most $2p - g$, where $g$ is the rank of $E({\Bbb Q})$, and for all…

A new characterization of rational torsion subgroups of elliptic curves is found, for points of order greater than 4, through the existence of solution for systems of Thue equations.

We calculate the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic three-fold $f:X\rightarrow S$ when $X$ and $S$ are regular and $f$ is flat, relating it to the Brauer group of $X$ and $S$. We show that given certain hypotheses on $f$, the…

Fix a positive integer $n$ and a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. We study the joint distribution of the rank of $E$, the $n$-Selmer group of $E$, and the $n$-torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of $E$ as $E$ varies over elliptic curves of…

We study real elliptic surfaces and trigonal curves (over a base of an arbitrary genus) and their equivariant deformations. We calculate the real Tate-Shafarevich group and reduce the deformation classification to the combinatorics of a…

Let A=E_1xE_2 be be the product of two elliptic curves over QQ, both having a rational five torsion point P_i. Set B=A/<(P_1,P_2)>. In this paper we give an algorithm to decide whether the Tate-Shafarevich group of the abelian surface B has…

In this paper, we study some cohomology groups and quadratic twists of elliptic curves, and apply Tate local duality and the results of Kramer-Tunnell on local norm cokernel to give a refined version of Yu's formula in the case of elliptic…
