Pasten's conjecture on the Tamagawa product of elliptic curves

About 3 years old · traced to

Let EE) be an elliptic curve over Q\mathbb{Q}, with conductor N=N(E)N=N(E) and Tamagawa product τ=τ(E)\tau=\tau(E). Here ≪\ll denotes an absolute implied constant, and ϵ>0\epsilon>0 is arbitrary. Pasten's conjecture. For all elliptic curves

τ≪N(73log⁡3+ϵ)/log⁡log⁡N.\tau \ll N^{\left(\frac{7}{3}\log 3+\epsilon\right)/\log\log N}.

The conjecture gives a conditional-looking refinement of bounds relating the Tamagawa product to the conductor, motivated by the abcabc Conjecture and by the search for elliptic curves with large Tate–Shafarevich groups. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
