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.

Confusion regarding Proposition 1.1 in Wiles's Fermat paper

This is from p. 459 of Wiles's Fermat paper. Theorem: If $D_{p}$ is a decomposition group at $p$, $A$ is an Artinian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ and finite residue field $k$ of charac …

Height pairings of Heegner points of nontrivial conductor

I am studying Gross's and Zagier's proof of the BSD conjecture for elliptic curves of rank $\leq 1.$ Their calculation essentially boils down to the following ingredients: (1.) Finding a suitable imag …

Existence of infinitely many Heegner points that are divisible by $p^{n}$ in $K_{\lambda}$

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$, $p>2$ a prime and $n,s\in\mathbb{N}$. For $j\in\{1,...,s\}$ let $n_{j}\in\mathbb{N}$ be a natural number which may or may not be coprime to $p$. Let $K/ …

Relationship between Tate-Shafarevich group and the BSD conjecture

The finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group is known to be equivalent to BSD for elliptic curves over function fields over $\mathbb{F}_{q},$ this result is due to Kato and Trihan if I am not mistaken …

Selmer and free rank of Elliptic Curves

If I am not mistaken, the equality of the $p$-Selmer rank and the free rank of an elliptic curve are conjectured to be equal. This is one of the many implications of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conj …

Rank growth in ray class fields of primes that are inert in an imaginary quadratic extension

If $K=\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-d}]$, $E$ is an elliptic curve and $\operatorname{rank}(E(K))=\operatorname{rank}(E(\mathbb{Q}))$, are there infinitely many primes $l$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ so that: (1.) $\operato …

It is known that the group of $K$-rational points of an elliptic curve $E$ is finitely generated if $K$ is a number field of finite degree over $\mathbb{Q}$. Much less is known if $K$ is infinite-dime …

Pasten has answered the question: Murty (MS1106677, Corollary to Theorem 2) has shown that the quadratic twist of $E$ by a prime $q$ has rank zero for infinitely many primes $q$, if GRH holds.
