The p -part of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves can be arbitrarily large

Remke Kloosterman (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper we show that for every prime p 5 the dimension of the p -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of E / K can be arbitrarily large, where E is an elliptic curve defined over a number field K , with [ K : ] bounded by a constant depending only on p . From this we deduce that the dimension of the p -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of A / can be arbitrarily large, where A is an abelian variety, with dim A bounded by a constant depending only on p .

The p -rank stratification of Artin-Schreier curves

Rachel Pries, Hui June Zhu (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study a moduli space 𝒜𝒮 g for Artin-Schreier curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p . We study the stratification of 𝒜𝒮 g by p -rank into strata 𝒜𝒮 g . s of Artin-Schreier curves of genus g with p -rank exactly s . We enumerate the irreducible components of 𝒜𝒮 g , s and find their dimensions. As an application, when p = 2 , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic k -curves with genus g and 2 -rank s has dimension g - 1 + s . We also determine all pairs ( p , g ) for...

The period-index problem in WC-groups IV: a local transition theorem

Pete L. Clark (2010)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let K be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field k . Assuming upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over k , we deduce corresponding upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over K . Up to a constant depending only on the dimension of the torsor, we recover theorems of Lichtenbaum and Milne in a “duality free” context. Our techniques include the use of LLR models of torsors under abelian varieties with good reduction and...

The permutation group method for the dilogarithm

Georges Rhin, Carlo Viola (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We give qualitative and quantitative improvements on all the best previously known irrationality results for dilogarithms of positive rational numbers. We obtain such improvements by applying our permutation group method to the diophantine study of double integrals of rational functions related to the dilogarithm.
