On a Convolution of L-Series.
This paper studies a two-variable zeta function attached to an algebraic number field , introduced by van der Geer and Schoof, which is based on an analogue of the Riemann-Roch theorem for number fields using Arakelov divisors. When this function becomes the completed Dedekind zeta function of the field . The function is a meromorphic function of two complex variables with polar divisor , and it satisfies the functional equation . We consider the special case , where for this function...
We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not congruent. As a result, we get additional information on the possible sizes of Tate-Shafarevich groups of the associated elliptic curves. We also present a related criterion for primes p such that divides the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ℚ(√-p)....
Let be a modular elliptic curve defined over a totally real number field and let be its associated eigenform. This paper presents a new method, inspired by a recent work of Bertolini and Darmon, to control the rank of over suitable quadratic imaginary extensions . In particular, this argument can also be applied to the cases not covered by the work of Kolyvagin and Logachëv, that is, when is even and not new at any prime.
In this paper, we give an explicit description of the de Rham and -adic polylogarithms for elliptic curves using the Kronecker theta function. In particular, consider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic field with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers of . Note that our condition implies that has class number one. Assume in addition that has good reduction above a prime unramified in . In this case, we prove that the specializations of the -adic elliptic...
Let L be a finite Galois CM-extension of a totally real field K. We show that the validity of an appropriate special case of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture leads to a natural construction for each odd prime p of explicit elements in the (non-commutative) Fitting invariants over of a certain tame ray class group, and hence also in the analogous Fitting invariants of the p-primary part of the ideal class group of L. These elements involve the values at s=1 of the Artin L-series of characters...
