The Bloch-Kato conjecture on special values of L -functions. A survey of known results

Guido Kings (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

This paper contains an overview of the known cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. It does not attempt to overview the known cases of the Beilinson conjecture and also excludes the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer point. The paper starts with a brief review of the formulation of the general conjecture. The final part gives a brief sketch of the proofs in the known cases.

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...
