Let E be an optimal elliptic curve over Q 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 are 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 Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture says that the index in E(K) of the sub...

The arithmetic theory of elliptic curves enters the new century with some of its major secrets intact. Most notably, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, which relates the arithmetic of an elliptic curve to the analytic behaviour of its associated L-series, is still unproved in spite of important advances in the last decades, some of which are recalled in Chapter 1. In the 1960’s the pione...

Let N be a prime and let A be a quotient of J0(N) over Q associated to a newform f such that the special L-value of A (at s = 1) is non-zero. Suppose that the algebraic part of special L-value is divisible by an odd prime q such that q does not divide the numerator of N−1 12 . Then the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture predicts that q divides the algebraic part of special L value of A, as we...

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.

We study Rubin’s variant of the p-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for CM elliptic curves concerning certain special values of the Katz two-variable p-adic L-function that lie outside the range of p-adic interpolation.
