Given an elliptic curve E defined over Q, we are motivated by the 2-part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formula to study the relation between the 2-Selmer rank of E and the 2Selmer rank of an abelian variety A obtained by Ribet’s level raising theorem. For certain imaginary quadratic fields K satisfying the Heegner hypothesis, we prove that the 2-Selmer ranks of E and A over K have different parity, as predicted by the BSD conjecture. When the 2-Selmer rank of E is one, we further prove that…

On the parity of the index of ramified Heegner divisors
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals and let N be its conductor. Assume N is prime. In this paper, we prove that the index on E of the Heegner divisor of discriminant $$D=-~4N$$D=-4N…

Level raising mod 2 and arbitrary 2-Selmer ranks
We prove a level raising mod $\ell =2$ theorem for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ . It generalizes theorems of Ribet and Diamond–Taylor and also explains different sign phenomena compared to odd…
The ℓ-parity conjecture over the constant quadratic extension
Abstract For a prime ℓ and an abelian variety A over a global field K, the ℓ-parity conjecture predicts that, in accordance with the ideas of Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer, the ℤℓ-corank of the ℓ∞-Selmer…
Ranks of twists of elliptic curves and Hilbert’s tenth problem
In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has…
A Family of Elliptic Curves with a Lower Bound on 2-Selmer Ranks of Quadratic Twists
For any number field K with a complex place, we present an infinite family of elliptic curves defined over K such that $dim \mathbb{F}_2 Sel_2(E^F/K) \ge dim \mathbb{F}_2 E^F(K)[2] + r_2$ for every…
Congruences between Heegner points and quadratic twists of elliptic curves
We establish a congruence formula between $p$-adic logarithms of Heegner points for two elliptic curves with the same mod $p$ Galois representation. As a first application, we use the congruence…
The Period-Index Obstruction for Elliptic Curves
Let K be a field and let E be an elliptic curve over K . Let GK be the absolute Galois group of K . The elements of the group HðGK ;EÞ are in one-to-one correspondence with isomorphism classes of…
Selmer groups and the indivisibility of Heegner points
For elliptic curves over Q, we prove the p-indivisibility of derived Heegner points for certain prime numbers p, as conjectured by Kolyvagin in 1991. Applications include the rened…
On the $p$-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer formula for multiplicative primes
Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be a semistable elliptic curve of analytic rank one, and let $p>3$ be a prime for which $E[p]$ is irreducible. In this note, following a slight modification of the methods of…
Quadratic twists of elliptic curves
The paper generalizes, for a wide class of elliptic curves defined over Q , the celebrated classical lemma of Birch and Heegner about quadratic twists with prime discriminants, to quadratic twists by…
