| Jan 30, 2012 at 6:33 | comment | added | Chandan Singh Dalawat | François Brunault asks the same question (images.math.cnrs.fr/Le-rang-des-courbes-elliptiques.html) : La conjecture de Birch et Swinnerton-Dyer est l’un des problèmes du Clay Mathematical Institute, dont la solution est récompensée par un prix d’un million de dollars. Sachant que Bhargava et Shankar ont démontré cette conjecture pour une proportion strictement positive de courbes elliptiques, pourront-ils prétendre à une proportion strictement positive de la récompense ? | |

| Jan 29, 2012 at 23:58 | comment | added | Junkie | Bhargava, as a joke, wrote to the Clay institute, asking that since he had shown (in conjunction with Kolyvagin's work, eg) a positive proportion of ell curves over Q, have BSD true, whether he could have a positive proportion of $1 million. The hard work being though, in the higher rank case. | |
