On a two-variable zeta function for number fields

Jeffrey C. Lagarias, Eric Rains (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper studies a two-variable zeta function Z K ( w , s ) attached to an algebraic number field K , 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 w = 1 this function becomes the completed Dedekind zeta function ζ ^ K ( s ) of the field K . The function is a meromorphic function of two complex variables with polar divisor s ( w - s ) , and it satisfies the functional equation Z K ( w , s ) = Z K ( w , w - s ) . We consider the special case K = , where for w = 1 this function...

On congruent primes and class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields

Nils Bruin, Brett Hemenway (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

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 16 divides the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ℚ(√-p)....

On the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for modular elliptic curves over totally real fields

Matteo Longo (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let E / F be a modular elliptic curve defined over a totally real number field F and let φ be its associated eigenform. This paper presents a new method, inspired by a recent work of Bertolini and Darmon, to control the rank of E over suitable quadratic imaginary extensions K / F . In particular, this argument can also be applied to the cases not covered by the work of Kolyvagin and Logachëv, that is, when [ F : ] is even and φ not new at any prime.

On the de Rham and p -adic realizations of the elliptic polylogarithm for CM elliptic curves

Kenichi Bannai, Shinichi Kobayashi, Takeshi Tsuji (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this paper, we give an explicit description of the de Rham and p -adic polylogarithms for elliptic curves using the Kronecker theta function. In particular, consider an elliptic curve E defined over an imaginary quadratic field 𝕂 with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers 𝒪 𝕂 of 𝕂 . Note that our condition implies that 𝕂 has class number one. Assume in addition that E has good reduction above a prime p 5 unramified in 𝒪 𝕂 . In this case, we prove that the specializations of the p -adic elliptic...

On the values of Artin L-series at s=1 and annihilation of class groups

Hugo Castillo, Andrew Jones (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

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 p [ G ] 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...
