The Mordell-Weil groups E(Q) of elliptic curves influence the structures of their quadratic twists E −D (Q) and the ideal class groups CL(−D) of imaginary quadratic fields. We define a family of homomorphisms Φ u,v : E(Q) → CL(−D) for particular negative fundamental discriminants −D := −D E (u, v), which we use to simultaneously address questions related to Goldfeld's Conjecture on ranks of quadratic twists, the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, and Gauss's class number problem. Specifically, let r be the rank of E(Q), and define Ψ E to be the set of suitable fundamental discriminants −D < 0 with positive integers u, v such that (i) the point, and (iii) for an explicit function f E (u, v) and a computable constant c(E), we have the lower boundwhereas D → ∞. Then for any ε > 0, we show that as X → ∞, we haveMoreover, assuming the Parity Conjecture, our results hold with the additional condition that r Q (E −D ) ≥ 2. Buell, Call, and Soleng [2,3,28]. Griffin, Ono, and Tsai [15,16] obtain an effective lower bound of the form h(−D) ≥ c 1 (E) log (D)
Recent work improves on this bound by exploiting ideal class pairings
Let f (z) = ∞ n=1 a f (n)q n be a holomorphic cuspidal newform with even integral weight k ≥ 2, level N , trivial nebentypus, and no complex multiplication (CM). For all primes p, we may define θ p ∈ [0, π] such that a f (p) = 2p (k−1)/2 cos θ p . The Sato-Tate conjecture states that the angles θ p are equidistributed with respect to the probability measure µ ST (I) = 2 π I sin 2 θ dθ, where I ⊆ [0, π]. Using recent results on the automorphy of symmetric-power L-functions due to Newton and Thorne, we construct the first unconditional explicit bound on the error term in the Sato-Tate conjecture, which applies when N is squarefree as well as when f corresponds to an elliptic curve with arbitrary conductor. In particular, if π f,I (x) := #{p ≤ x : p ∤ N, θ p ∈ I}, and π(x) := #{p ≤ x}, we show the following bound:As an application, we give an explicit bound for the number of primes up to x that violate the Atkin-Serre conjecture for f .
Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_f(n)q^n$ be a holomorphic cuspidal newform with even integral weight $k\geq 2$, level N, trivial nebentypus and no complex multiplication. For all primes p, we may define $\theta_p\in [0,\pi]$ such that $a_f(p) = 2p^{(k-1)/2}\cos \theta_p$. The Sato–Tate conjecture states that the angles θp are equidistributed with respect to the probability measure $\mu_{\textrm{ST}}(I) = \frac{2}{\pi}\int_I \sin^2 \theta \; d\theta$, where $I\subseteq [0,\pi]$. Using recent results on the automorphy of symmetric power L-functions due to Newton and Thorne, we explicitly bound the error term in the Sato–Tate conjecture when f corresponds to an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of arbitrary conductor or when f has square-free level. In these cases, if $\pi_{f,I}(x) := \#\{p \leq x : p \nmid N, \theta_p\in I\}$ and $\pi(x) := \# \{p \leq x \}$, we prove the following bound: $$ \left| \frac{\pi_{f,I}(x)}{\pi(x)} - \mu_{\textrm{ST}}(I)\right| \leq 58.1\frac{\log((k-1)N \log{x})}{\sqrt{\log{x}}} \qquad \text{for} \quad x \geq 3. $$ As an application, we give an explicit bound for the number of primes up to x that violate the Atkin–Serre conjecture for f.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
