Let E be an optimal elliptic curve of conductor N , such that the L-function LE(s) of E vanishes to order one at s = 1. Let K be a quadratic imaginary field in which all the primes dividing N split. The Gross-Zagier theorem gives a formula that expresses the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural order the Shafarevich-Tate group of E over K as a rational number. We extract an integer factor from...

A polynomial relation f(x, y) = 0 in two variables defines a curve C. If the coefficients of the polynomial are rational numbers then one can ask for solutions of the equation f(x, y) = 0 with x, y ∈ Q, in other words for rational points on the curve. If we consider a non-singular projective model C of the curve then over C it is classified by its genus. Mordell conjectured, and in 1983 Falting...

This essay starts by first explaining, for elliptic curves defined over Q, the statement of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. Alongside, it contains a discussion of some results that have been proved in the direction of the conjecture, such as the theorem of Kolyvagin-Gross-Zagier and the weak parity theorem of Tim and Vladimir Dokchitser. The second, third and fourth part of the ess...

In this talk I shall attempt to introduce some of the main features of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, (BSD). The congruent number problem, deciding whether an integer D is the area of a right angle triangle with rational sides, is not easy. It turns out that the problem is equivalent to finding out if a certain elliptic curve has an infinite number of rational points. In 1983 Tunnell...

Abstract This article proves a case of the p -adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for Garrett L -functions [6], in exceptional zero setting extended analytic rank 2.

Abstract We show that the conjecture of [27] for special value at $s=1$ zeta function an arithmetic surface is equivalent to Birch–Swinnerton–Dyer Jacobian generic fibre.

Abstract This article proves a case of the p -adic Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer conjecture for Garrett L -functions (Bertolini et al. in On analogues -functions, 2021), imaginary dihedral exceptional zero setting extended analytic rank 4.

Let E be an optimal elliptic curve of conductor N , such that the L-function of E vanishes to order one at s = 1. Let K be a quadratic imaginary field in which all the primes dividing N split and such that the L-function of E over K also vanishes to order one at s = 1. In view of the Gross-Zagier theorem, the second part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture says that the index in E(K) of...
