Central values of \(L\)-functions of cubic twists (Q2205574): Difference between revisions

Let \(D\) be a positive integer, different from 1 and 2 and cubefree. The author studies the affine curve \(x^3+y^3=D\). This curve has \(\mathbb{Q}\)-rational points if and only if the elliptic curve \(E_D\) \(y^2=x^3-432D^2\) has positive rank. Consider the \(L\)-function \(L(E_D,s)\) of \(E_D\). If \(L(E_D,1)\) is nonzero then the rank of \(E_D\) is known to be zero and there are no solutions. In this case, let \(S_D=L(E_D,1)/\Omega_D c_D\). Then \(S_D\) is the conjectural order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of \(E_D\). The author gives an explicit formula for \(S_D\) in the case that each prime \(p\) dividing \(D\) is \(1 \bmod 3\). It follows that in this case \(S_D\) is a square in \(\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{3}\right]\).
