BSD regulator-quotient square conjecture for elliptic curves

From papers

Let E/KE/K be an elliptic curve over a number field KK, with a fixed invariant differential ω\omega. Let Li/KL_i/K and Lj/KL'_j/K be finite extensions such that the associated permutation representations satisfy

iIndLi/K1LijIndLj/K1Lj.\bigoplus_i \operatorname{Ind}_{L_i/K} \mathbf{1}_{L_i}\simeq \bigoplus_j \operatorname{Ind}_{L'_j/K} \mathbf{1}_{L'_j}.

Write Reg(E/L)\operatorname{Reg}(E/L) for the regulator and C(E/L)C(E/L) for the product of local Tamagawa and differential factors.

BSD regulator-quotient square conjecture. Then

iReg(E/Li)C(E/Li)jReg(E/Lj)C(E/Lj)(modQ2).\prod_i \operatorname{Reg}(E/L_i)C(E/L_i)\equiv \prod_j \operatorname{Reg}(E/L'_j)C(E/L'_j)\pmod{\mathbb{Q}^{*2}}.

This removes Tate–Shafarevich and torsion contributions by working modulo rational squares. It is presented as a consequence of the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and is open to the extent that the required BSD input is open.
