On the Tate-shafarevich Groups of Certain Elliptic Curves

چکیده
The Tate-Shafarevich groups of certain elliptic curves over Fq(t) are related, via étale cohomology, to the group of points of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. The Cassels-Tate pairing is computed under this identification.

Elements of Class Groups and Shafarevich-tate Groups of Elliptic Curves
The problem of estimating the number of imaginary quadratic fields whose ideal class group has an element of order ` ≥ 2 is classical in number theory. Analogous questions for quadratic twists of elliptic curves have been the focus of recent interest. Whereas works of Stewart and Top [St-T], and of Gouvêa and Mazur [G-M] address the nontriviality of MordellWeil groups, less is known about the n...
متن کاملOn the Tate-shafarevich Group of a Number Field
For an elliptic curve E defined over a fieldK, the Tate-Shafarevich group X(E/K) encodes important arithmetic and geometric information. An important conjecture of Tate and Shafarevich states X(E/K) is always finite. Supporting this conjecture is a cohomological analogy between Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves and unit groups of number fields. In this note, we follow the analogy to constr...
متن کاملModeling the Distribution of Ranks, Selmer Groups, and Shafarevich Tate Groups of Elliptic Curves
Using only linear algebra over Zp, we de ne a discrete probability distribution on the set of isomorphism classes of short exact sequences of Zp-modules, and then conjecture that as E varies over elliptic curves over a xed global eld k, the distribution of 0→ E(k)⊗Qp/Zp → Selp∞ E →X[p∞]→ 0 is that one. This single conjecture would explain many of the known theorems and conjectures on ranks, Sel...
متن کاملVisualizing elements of order three in the Shafarevich-Tate group
1. Introduction. If we wish to write the equations of curves of genus 1 that give elements of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve over a number field K, a choice of ways is open to us. For example, if the element in question is of order 3 the curve of genus 1 corresponding to it occurs as a smooth plane cubic curve over K. In a recent article [C-M] we raised the question of when one...
متن کاملOn invisible elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group
Mazur [8] has introduced the concept of visible elements in the Tate-Shafarevich group of optimal modular elliptic curves. We generalized the notion to arbitrary abelian subvarieties of abelian varieties and found, based on calculations that assume the BirchSwinnerton-Dyer conjecture, that there are elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group of certain sub-abelian varieties of J0(p) and J1(p) that ...
