Gross's conjectural formula for the Tate–Shafarevich group of a Gross curve

Let K=Q(q)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q}), where qq is a prime congruent to 33 modulo 44, and let A=A(q)A=A(q) be the Gross curve. Let F=Q(j)F=\mathbb{Q}(j), let H=FKH=FK be the Hilbert class field of KK, and write hh for the class number of KK. Put

ϵq(c):=(cq).\epsilon_q(c):=\left(\frac{c}{q}\right).

Gross's conjectural formula. The order of the Tate–Shafarevich group of the Gross curve over HH is

#(\cyrfontX(E/H))=q3h/2L(E/H,1)23h4πh0<c<qΓ(cq)ϵq(c).\#(\text{\cyrfont X}(E/H)) = \frac{q^{3h/2}L(E/H,1)}{2^{3h-4}\pi^h\displaystyle\prod_{0<c<q}\Gamma\left(\frac{c}{q}\right)^{\epsilon_q(c)}}.

The formula is presented as conjectural and is intended to give the order predicted by the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. The authors report numerical calculations for primes q7(mod8)q\equiv 7\pmod 8 up to q=4831q=4831, with nonzero values of L(E/H,1)L(E/H,1) and agreement with related computations over FF; the general formula remains conditional on the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
