چکیده
Using elliptic modular functions, Kronecker proved a number of recurrence relations for suitable class numbers of positive binary quadratic forms. For instance if F (N) denotes the number of uneven classes of positive binary quadratic forms with determinant −N, then

On the Tate-shafarevich Groups of Certain Elliptic Curves
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.
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 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 کاملElements 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 کاملThere Are Genus One Curves of Every Index over Every Number Field
We show that there exist genus one curves of every index over the rational numbers, answering affirmatively a question of Lang and Tate. The proof is “elementary” in the sense that it does not assume the finiteness of any Shafarevich-Tate group. On the other hand, using Kolyvagin’s construction of a rational elliptic curve whose Mordell-Weil and Shafarevich-Tate groups are both trivial, we show...
