Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer special-value formula for modular abelian varieties

At least 17 years old · documented by

Let AfA_f be the modular abelian variety associated to a weight-22 newform of level NN, and suppose that LAf(1)≠0L_{A_f}(1)\ne 0. Let ΩAf\Omega_{A_f} be the real volume defined using a generator of the invariant differentials, let cp(Af)c_p(A_f) be the arithmetic component-group order at pp, and let Af∨A_f^\vee be the dual abelian variety. The Shafarevich-Tate group of AfA_f is denoted by  \fontencodingOT2\fontfamilywncyr\fontseriesm\fontshapen \selectfontSh(Af){\text{% {\fontencoding{OT2}\fontfamily{wncyr}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}% \selectfont Sh}}}(A_f). Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. One has the conjectural equality

LAf(1)ΩAf=?∣ \fontencodingOT2\fontfamilywncyr\fontseriesm\fontshapen \selectfontSh(Af)∣∏p∣Ncp(Af)∣Af(Q)∣ ∣Af∨(Q)∣.\frac{L_{A_f}(1)}{\Omega_{A_f}}\stackrel{?}{=}\frac{|{\text{% {\fontencoding{OT2}\fontfamily{wncyr}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}% \selectfont Sh}}}(A_f)|\prod_{p\mid N}c_p(A_f)}{|A_f(\mathbf{Q})|\,|A_f^\vee(\mathbf{Q})|}.

The formula predicts the order of the Shafarevich-Tate group from the algebraic part of the special LL-value and the other arithmetic factors. The source states no resolution of this formula.
