Computations About Tate-Shafarevich Groups Using Iwasawa Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explain how to combine deep results from Iwasawa theory with explicit computation to obtain information about p-parts of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves over Q. This method provides a practical way to compute #X(E/Q)(p) in many cases when traditional p-descent methods are completely impractical and also in situations where results of Kolyvagin and Kato do not apply.

On the Tate-shafarevich Group of Elliptic Curves over Q
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. Using Iwasawa theory, we give what seems to be the first general upper bound for the order of vanishing of the p-adic L-function at s = 0, and the Zp-corank of the Tate-Shafarevich group for all sufficiently large good ordinary primes p.
متن کاملAlgorithms for the arithmetic of elliptic curves using Iwasawa theory
We explain how to use results from Iwasawa theory to obtain information about p-parts of Tate-Shafarevich groups of specific elliptic curves over Q. Our method provides a practical way to compute #X(E/Q)(p) in many cases when traditional p-descent methods are completely impractical and also in situations where results of Kolyvagin do not apply, e.g., when the rank of the Mordell-Weil group is g...
متن کاملON THE p-PRIMARY PART OF TATE-SHAFAREVICH GROUP OF ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER Q WHEN p IS SUPERSINGULAR
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q and p be a prime of good supersingular reduction for E. Although the Iwasawa theory of E over the cyclotomic Zp-extension of Q is well known to be fundamentally different from the case of good ordinary reduction at p, we are able to combine the method of our earlier paper with the theory of Kobayashi [5] and Pollack [8], to give an explicit upper bound for the ...
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 کاملOrganizing the Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves
Fix the data (p,K,E) where p is a prime number, K a number field, and E an elliptic curve over Q. Let K∞/K denote the maximal Zp-power extension of K. Recent work provides, in some instances, detailed information about p-adic completions of Mordell-Weil groups and their associated p-adic height pairings, and the p-primary Shafarevich-Tate groups and their associated Cassels pairings, over inter...
