Conjecture on the average size of the BSD factor for elliptic curves

About 7 years old · traced to

Let ε>0\varepsilon>0 be fixed. Let F≥1(X)\mathcal{F}_{\geq 1}(X) be the family of elliptic curves under consideration with positive rank, let H(EA,B)H(E_{A,B}) be their height, and let μ(EA,B)\mu(E_{A,B}) be the arithmetic factor appearing in the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer formula.

BSD-factor growth conjecture.

lim⁡X→∞#{EA,B∈F≥1(X):μ(EA,B)>H(EA,B)1/12−ε}#F≥1(X)=1.\lim_{X\to\infty}\frac{\#\{E_{A,B}\in\mathcal{F}_{\geq 1}(X):\mu(E_{A,B})>H(E_{A,B})^{1/12-\varepsilon}\}}{\#\mathcal{F}_{\geq 1}(X)}=1.

The conjecture asserts that, for almost all curves in the positive-rank family, the BSD factor μ(EA,B)\mu(E_{A,B}) exceeds the indicated power of the height. It is presented as a heuristic consequence of predictions that the Tate–Shafarevich group is often small, and no resolution is supplied in the source.
