Nov 3, 2014 at 13:20 comment added joro Magma returns some information about 2^32+1. Try the commands: d:=2^(2^5)+1;E := EllipticCurve([0, 0, 0, d, 0]);MordellWeilShaInformation(E);. Returns (Z/2)^4 <= Sha(E)[4] <= (Z/2)^4 and <4, [ 0, 0 ]>
Dec 13, 2013 at 10:26 comment added Chris Wuthrich I don't think that it is easy with modular symbols. If it were a quadratic twist, then there is a formula for all twists with only one modular symbol, but here the modular symbols are maybe not directly related as we have (non-abelian) quartic twists. But there are formulae for $L$-values for these curves as $d$ varies.

errors in the statement of the result from Silverman
Dec 12, 2013 at 17:58 comment added R.P. Chris and Tim: thank you both very much. I am going to look into that next.
Dec 12, 2013 at 17:56 comment added Tim Dokchitser I think Chris is right: your statement is equivalent to $L(E_d,1)/\Omega=2,8,32$ for $d=17,257,65537$, and this quotient could be perhaps computed with modular symbols? (Or at least proving the congruence $L(E_p,1)/\Omega\cong 0$ mod $2^{...}$ using that $p=2^{2^k}+1$?)
Dec 10, 2013 at 22:22 comment added Chris Wuthrich The value of the $L$-function at $s=1$ for (quartic) twists of $y^2 = x^3+x$ could help. Or maybe the $2$-adic $L$-function. But I don't know enough about CM-curves to help you.

Dec 10, 2013 at 17:23 comment added R.P. Indeed I was wondering about that. Is there a particular reference for this that you would recommend?
Dec 10, 2013 at 17:21 comment added Franz Lemmermeyer There are similar phenomena in connection with class groups of quadratic fields whose discriminants are Mersenne or Fermat primes. These things are not trivial.
