Conjecture on the parity of Tate–Shafarevich groups of quadratic twists

About 21 years old · traced to

Let EE be an elliptic curve as above, let NN be a prime with N≡3(mod4)N\equiv 3\pmod{4}, and suppose β−N≠0\beta_{-N}\ne 0. Let E−NE^{-N} denote the quadratic twist of EE associated with the fundamental discriminant −N-N, and let \cyr X(E−N)(E^{-N}) be its Tate–Shafarevich group. Tate–Shafarevich parity conjecture. If aE(2)a_E(2) is even, then

∣\cyrX(E−N)∣ is even.|\text{\cyr X}(E^{-N})|\text{ is even}.

The conjecture links the parity of a modular eigenvalue to the order of the Tate–Shafarevich group of a quadratic twist. It is motivated by the preceding coefficient-parity conjecture and remains open in the supplied text.
