Agashe's divisibility conjecture for quadratic twists of optimal elliptic curves

About 5 years old · traced to

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an optimal elliptic curve of conductor NN, let −D-D be a negative fundamental discriminant such that DD is coprime to NN, and let E−D/QE^{-D}/\mathbb{Q} denote the twist of E/QE/\mathbb{Q} by −D-D. Suppose that L(E−D,1)≠0L(E^{-D},1)\neq 0.

Agashe's conjecture. Up to a power of 22, the square of the order of E−D(Q)E^{-D}(\mathbb{Q}) divides

∣\Sha(E−D/Q)∣⋅∏p∣Ncp(E−D).|\Sha(E^{-D}/\mathbb{Q})|\cdot\prod_{p\mid N}c_p(E^{-D}).

This conjecture is motivated by the rank-zero Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer formula, which identifies the corresponding quotient involving the period with the Shafarevich–Tate group, Tamagawa numbers, and the square of the rational-point group. The source paper proves a slightly more general statement without the optimality hypothesis, so the conjecture is solved in the setting considered here.
