The parity conjecture for Artin twists of elliptic curves

Let E/KE/K be an elliptic curve over a number field, let F/KF/K be a finite extension, and let ρ\rho be a self-dual Artin representation of Gal(K/K)\operatorname{Gal}(\overline K/K) factoring through Gal(F/K)\operatorname{Gal}(F/K). Write ρ,E(F)ZC\langle\rho,E(F)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb C\rangle for the multiplicity of ρ\rho.

Parity conjecture for Artin twists.

(1)ρ,E(F)ZC=w(E/K,ρ),(-1)^{\langle\rho,E(F)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb C\rangle}=w(E/K,\rho),

where w(E/K,ρ)w(E/K,\rho) is the global root number of the twist of EE by ρ\rho.

This refines the ordinary parity conjecture by predicting the parity of each self-dual Artin-isotypic contribution to the Mordell–Weil group. The source uses it conditionally throughout its examples, so it remains open in general.
