We give an algorithm to compute the modular degree of an elliptic curve defined over . Our method is based on the computation of the special value at of the symmetric square of the -function attached to the elliptic curve. This method is quite efficient and easy to implement.
Let be an elliptic curve defined over with conductor and denote by the modular parametrization: In this paper, we are concerned with the critical and ramification points of . In particular, we explain how we can obtain a more or less experimental study of these points.
This article deals with the coherence of the model given by the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic philosophy for class groups and also for their generalizations to Tate-Shafarevich groups. More precisely, our first goal is to extend a previous result due to É. Fouvry and J. Klüners which proves that a conjecture provided by the Cohen-Lenstra philosophy implies another such conjecture. As a consequence of our work, we can deduce, for example, a conjecture for the probability laws of -ranks of Selmer groups...
We investigate the regulators of elliptic curves with rank 1 in some families of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve. In particular, we formulate some conjectures on the average size of these regulators. We also describe an efficient algorithm to compute explicitly some of the invariants of a rank one quadratic twist of an elliptic curve (regulator, order of the Tate-Shafarevich group, etc.) and we discuss the numerical data that we obtain and compare it with our predictions.
