The abundance conjecture for torsion in Shafarevich–Tate groups

Let k0k_0 be the prime global subfield, and let n,kZ+n,k\in\mathbb{Z}^+ with n>1n>1. For an elliptic curve EE over k0k_0, let  \fontencodingOT2\fontfamilywncyr\fontseriesm\fontshape\selectfontSh(k0,E){\text{% {\fontencoding{OT2}\fontfamily{wncyr}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}% \selectfont Sh}}}(k_0,E) denote its Shafarevich–Tate group.

Abundance conjecture for Shafarevich–Tate torsion. There exists an elliptic curve E/k0E_{/k_0} such that  \fontencodingOT2\fontfamilywncyr\fontseriesm\fontshape\selectfontSh(k0,E){\text{% {\fontencoding{OT2}\fontfamily{wncyr}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}% \selectfont Sh}}}(k_0,E) has at least kk elements of order nn.

The paper states that this conjecture implies the genus-one Hasse principle violation conjecture. For k0=Qk_0=\mathbb{Q}, it reports known cases n=2,3,5n=2,3,5, announced proofs for n=7n=7 and n=13n=13, and says that the remaining cases require new ideas; the general conjecture is therefore open.
