Abstract:We study elliptic curves of the form x 3 + y 3 = 2p and x 3 + y 3 = 2p 2 where p is any odd prime satisfying p ≡ 2 mod 9 or p ≡ 5 mod 9. We first show that the 3-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these curves. Then we relate their 2-Selmer group to the 2-rank of the ideal class group of Q( 3√ p) to obtain some examples of elliptic curves with rank one and non-trivial 2-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.
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.
