An elliptic curve is an algebraic curve of genus one with some additional properties. Questions with this tag will often have the top-level tags nt.number-theory or ag.algebraic-geometry. Note also the tag arithmetic-geometry as well as some related tags such as rational-points, abelian-varieties, heights. Please do not use this tag for questions related to ellipses; instead use conic-sections.

Converse to Modularity I: weight 2 newforms

This should be a comment, but is getting too long. First, unless you are using the strange convention that Galois representations have by definition complex coefficients, odd, irreducible 2-dimension …

Neron models and ramification

This result (and much more) is in Exposé IX Modèles de Néron et monodromie by A.Grothendieck (in SGA7), and more precisely in section 11.1. In particular what you want is exactly Proposition 11.2 ther …

Is Galois representation induced by semistable elliptic curve semistable?

A Galois representation $\rho_\ell:\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb Q}_{\ell}/\mathbb Q_{\ell})\longrightarrow\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb Q_{\ell})$ can be semistable (technically $B_{st}$-admissible i …

Are Kato's zeta elements integral?

First, let us assume that $p$ is odd for safety. Then I think your impression is correct: the first statement of 12.5 (4), i.e the integrality of the module generated by the $\mathbf{z}^{(p)}_{\gamma …

Atkin-Lehner involution on the modular abelian varieties

Since an algebraic number is zero if and only if any of its conjugates is zero, $I_f J_1$ is stable under $W_N$ and so indeed $W_N$ descends to an automorphism of $A_f$. Now, the important thing to re …

Decomposition of Tate-Shafarevich groups in field extensions

First of all, I am not sure I fully agree with the notion that Tamagawa numbers are harmless factors. What you wish for exists, and here is roughly why. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is a …

Irreducibility of residual Galois representations attached to an elliptic curve

As Will Sawin points out, the following is mostly an answer to the question "Is it true that the set of primes such that $\rho_p$ is reducible is finite?" which is related but strictly stronger than t …

Existence of congruences between modular forms / elliptic curves

Given an eigencuspform $f$ of weight $k≥2$ (so in particular 2) and $p$ a prime of ordinary reduction (in particular good ordinary reduction), there is always a Hida family passing through $f$. This …

Discrepancy in the calculation of $2$-Selmer group by Magma and LMFDB

I don't see any contradiction: the Selmer group also has a contribution of rational points. Indeed, the group of 2-torsion rational points on this elliptic curve is isomorphic to $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z …

Conceptual understanding of the Gross-Zagier theorem.

In my current (no very deep) understanding, there are two possible ways to make the proof of the Gross-Zagier more conceptual. The first is to recognize in each terms of the equation products of loc …

Is there relationship between $\mu=0$ for an elliptic curve and the irreducibility of its re...

I think generalizing a conjecture we know sol little about is a risky business, but let me try to say something non-vacuous. First of all, I'm assuming that $E$ has good ordinary reduction (otherwis …

Some questions related to Iwasawa invariants of elliptic curves

1) Iwasawa theory, as practiced by K.Iwasawa, is concerned with $\mathbb Z_{p}$-extensions. There is only one $\mathbb Z_{p}$-extension of $\mathbb Q$. Over more generally number fields, and in more g …

Can you show rank E(Q) = 1 exactly for infinitely many elliptic curves E over Q without usin...

If $K$ is totally real, then the rank part of BSD is known in analytic rank 1 (using CM points for instance) for modular elliptic curves. As potential modularity is also known under the same hypothese …

I think that the answer to your questions depends in subtle ways on whether $r=0$ or $r=1$. In full generality, I believe you are right that none of the properties you state are known for all elliptic …

Does $\mu=0$ for an imaginary quadratic field $K$ imply $\mu=0$ for $\mathbf{Q}$?

Under your setting \begin{equation} \operatorname{Sel}(E/K_{\infty})\simeq\operatorname{Sel}(E/\mathbb Q_{\infty})\oplus\operatorname{Sel}(E\otimes\chi/\mathbb Q_{\infty}) \end{equation} where $\chi$ …
