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...
