Delaunay's moment conjecture for Tate–Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves

About 14 years old · traced to

Let ℓ\ell be a positive integer, let λ=1m12m2⋯ℓmℓ\lambda=1^{m_1}2^{m_2}\cdots \ell^{m_\ell} be an integer partition, and let u⩾0u\geqslant0. Consider elliptic curves E/QE/\mathbb Q of rank uu, ordered by conductor, and write \tencyr\cyraccSh(E)[pj]\text{\tencyr\cyracc{Sh}}(E)[p^j] for the subgroup of the Tate–Shafarevich group killed by pjp^j.

Tate–Shafarevich moment conjecture. The average of

∣\tencyr\cyraccSh(E)[p]∣m1∣\tencyr\cyraccSh(E)[p2]∣m2⋯∣\tencyr\cyraccSh(E)[pℓ]∣mℓ|\text{\tencyr\cyracc{Sh}}(E)[p]|^{m_1}|\text{\tencyr\cyracc{Sh}}(E)[p^2]|^{m_2}\cdots|\text{\tencyr\cyracc{Sh}}(E)[p^\ell]|^{m_\ell}

over these curves is

∑μ⊆λCλ,μ(p2)p−∣μ∣(2u−1).\sum_{\mu\subseteq\lambda}C_{\lambda,\mu}(p^2)p^{-|\mu|(2u-1)}.

This is the corrected Delaunay heuristic for Tate–Shafarevich groups, motivated by numerical evidence and compatibility with Selmer-group results; the asserted averages are generally open.
