Critical L-values for some quadratic twists of Gross curves

Abstract: Let

K = B b b Q (s q r t - q)

, where

q

is a prime congruent to

3

modulo

4

. Let

A = A (q)

denote the Gross curve. Let

denote its quadratic twist, with

. The curve

E

is defined over the Hilbert class field

H

of

K

. We use Magma to calculate the values

L (E / H, 1)

for all such

q

's up to some reasonable ranges (different for

q e q u i v 7, e x t m o d, 8

and

q e q u i v 3, e x t m o d, 8

). All these values are non-zero, and using the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, we can calculate hypothetical orders of

s z a (E / H)

in these cases. Our calculations extend those given by J. Choi and J. Coates [{it Iwasawa theory of quadratic twists of

X_{0} (49)

}, Acta Mathematica Sinica(English Series) {�f 34} (2017), 19-28] for the case

q = 7

.
