Abstract: For E/k an elliptic curve with CM by O, we determine a formula for (a generalization of) the arithmetic local constant of [4] at almost all primes of good reduction. We apply this formula to the CM curves defined over Q and are able to describe extensions F/Q over which the O-rank of E grows.

Review text

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over a number field \(K\), with complex multiplication by a maximal quadratic order \(\mathcal O\). The goal of this article is to determine conditions under which the rank of \(E\) grows over certain cyclic extensions. The key ingredient is the theory of local constants, introduced by \textit{B. Mazur} and \textit{K. Rubin} [Ann. Math. (2) 166, No. 2, 579--612 (2007; Zbl 1219.11084)], and generalized to abelian varieties by the first author [``Arithmetic local constants for abelian varieties with extra endomorphisms, Funct. Approx. Comm. Math. 55, No. 1, 59--81 (2016)].NEWLINENEWLINEWhile the original work by Mazur and Rubin [loc. cit.] was concerned with the \(\mathbb Z\)-rank, in this paper it is considered the growth of the \(\mathcal O\)-rank. It is considered a dihedral tower \(k\subset K\subset F\) of number fields, with \(F/K\) a cyclic extension of prime power degree and \(L/k\) a Galois extension with dihedral Galois group. The main result in the article describes sufficient conditions for the inequality \(\text{rk}_{\mathcal O} E(F)\geq [F:K]\). The conditions involve the good reduction of \(E\) at the ramified places of of the extension \(L/K\) and the basic rank \(\text{rk}_{\mathcal O} E(K)\). As an application of this result, the authors provide examples of dihedral extensions of \(\mathbb Q\) for which the \(CM\)-elliptic curves defined over \(\mathbb Q\) have an increasing \(\mathcal O\)-rank. These are ray class fields of quadratic extensions, so that class field theory guarantees the conditions for the growth of the rank.
