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 exhibit $88$ examples of rank zero elliptic curves over the rationals with $|\sza(E)| > 63408^2$, which was the largest previously known value for any explicit curve. Our record is an elliptic curve $E$ with $|\sza(E)| = 1029212^2 =…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. We study the behavior of the Tate--Shafarevich group of $E$ under quadratic extensions $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})/\mathbb{Q}$. By analyzing the cokernel of the restriction map, without assuming 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…

For each prime $p$, we show that there exist geometrically simple abelian varieties $A/\mathbb Q$ with non-trivial $p$-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups. Specifically, for any prime $N\equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, let $A_f$ be an optimal…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $F$ and let $p$ be a prime. Cohen-Lenstra-Delaunay-style heuristics predict that the Tate-Shafarevich group of $A_s$ should contain an element of order $p$ for a positive proportion of…

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 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…

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 give explicit equations for homogeneous spaces corresponding to a rational isogeny of degree $3$. An explicit set of elliptic curves with elements of order $3$ in their Tate-Shafarevich group is constructed. Combining this…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. The aim of the present paper is to strengthen the theoretical and numerical results of \cite{CZS}. For each prime p, let t_{E/Q, p} denote the Z_p-corank of the p-primary…

Given any cube-free integer $\lambda>0$, we study the $3$-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the central $L$-value of the elliptic curve $$X^3+Y^3=\lambda Z^3.$$ We give a lower bound in terms of the number of distinct prime factors of…

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…

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 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…

In this paper it is shown that for every prime p>5 the dimension of the p-torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of E/K can be arbitrarily large, where E is an elliptic curve defined over a number field K, with [K:Q] bounded by a constant…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an optimal elliptic curve of analytic rank zero. It follows from the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves of analytic rank zero that the order of the torsion subgroup of $E/\mathbb{Q}$ divides the…

Given any integer $N>1$ prime to $3$, we denote by $C_N$ the elliptic curve $x^3+y^3=N$. We first study the $3$-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the value of the Hasse-Weil $L$-function $L(C_N,s)$ of $C_N$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ at $s=1$,…
