On the Tamagawa Number Conjecture for CM Elliptic Curves Defined Over Q

On the Number of Isomorphism Classes of Cm Elliptic Curves Defined over a Number Field

The theory of complex multiplication has proven to be an essential tool in number theory, mainly due to the connections with class field theory developed by Kronecker, Weber, Fricke, Hasse, Deuring, and Shimura, among others. Certain important results have been shown first in the case of complex multiplication. Thus, it is a natural question to find all the isomorphism classes of elliptic curve...

On Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

Elliptic Curves over Q

All polynomials and rational functions in this essay are assumed to have coefficients in Q . Fix an integer n ≥ 1. An affine variety is a simultaneous irreducible system of polynomial equations in n variables. The Q -points, R -points and C points of the affine variety are all solutions of the polynomial system in Q , R n and C , respectively. Rational projective n-spaceg Q n is the set of line...

The main conjecture for CM elliptic curves at supersingular primes

At a prime of ordinary reduction, the Iwasawa “main conjecture” for elliptic curves relates a Selmer group to a p-adic L-function. In the supersingular case, the statement of the main conjecture is more complicated as neither the Selmer group nor the p-adic L-function is well-behaved. Recently Kobayashi discovered an equivalent formulation of the main conjecture at supersingular primes that is ...
