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 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 real field with the rational points of an elliptic curve

Ayhan Günaydın, Philipp Hieronymi (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider the expansion of the real field by the group of rational points of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. We prove a completeness result, followed by a quantifier elimination result. Moreover we show that open sets definable in that structure are semialgebraic.

Thetanullwerte: from periods to good equations.

Jordi Guàrdia (2007)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We will show the utility of the classical Jacobi Thetanullwerte for the description of certain period lattices of elliptic curves, providing equations with good arithmetical properties. These equations will be the starting point for the construction of families of elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].

Torsion and Tamagawa numbers

Dino Lorenzini (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a number field, and let A / K be an abelian variety. Let c denote the product of the Tamagawa numbers of A / K , and let A ( K ) tors denote the finite torsion subgroup of A ( K ) . The quotient c / | A ( K ) tors | is a factor appearing in the leading term of the L -function of A / K in the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. We investigate in this article possible cancellations in this ratio. Precise results are obtained for elliptic curves over or quadratic extensions K / , and for abelian surfaces A / . The smallest possible ratio...

Torsion des courbes elliptiques sur les corps cubiques

Pierre Parent (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

On donne la liste (à un élément près) des nombres premiers qui sont l’ordre d’un point de torsion d’une courbe elliptique sur un corps de nombres de degré trois.
