Kurihara's nonvanishing conjecture for modular symbols

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be the elliptic curve in the setup, let pp be an odd prime satisfying the irreducibility and Manin-constant hypotheses, and let TamE=Nc{\rm Tam}_E=\prod_{\ell\mid N}c_\ell be the product of the Tamagawa factors. For nNn\in\mathcal{N}, let δˉnFp\bar{\delta}_n\in\mathbb{F}_p be the reduction modulo pp of Kurihara's modular-symbol quantity δn\delta_n. Kurihara's nonvanishing conjecture. If pTamEp\nmid{\rm Tam}_E, then there exists nNn\in\mathcal{N} such that δˉn0\bar{\delta}_n\neq 0. This conjecture predicts nonvanishing of at least one refined modular-symbol quantity under the stated local hypotheses; the source does not state a resolution.
