Selmer-corank conjecture for elliptic curves over the rationals
Selmer-corank conjecture for elliptic curves over the rationals
Let be an elliptic curve over , and let be the order of vanishing of at . For a prime , let denote the -corank of the Selmer group . Selmer-corank conjecture. If
then
This is a weaker Selmer-theoretic version of the preceding Mordell–Weil rank conjecture; the paper explains that the Selmer corank is at least the Mordell–Weil rank, with equality linked to finiteness of the -primary Shafarevich–Tate group.
