On a comparison of Cassels pairings of different elliptic curves

Publication date 29 November 2023

Abstract: Let

e_{1}, e_{2}, e_{3}

be nonzero integers satisfying

e_{1} + e_{2} + e_{3} = 0

. Let

(a, b, c)

be a primitive triple of odd integers satisfying

e_{1} a^{2} + e_{2} b^{2} + e_{3} c^{2} = 0

. Denote by

E : y^{2} = x (x - e_{1}) (x + e_{2})

and

m a t h c a l E : y^{2} = x (x - e_{1} a^{2}) (x + e_{2} b^{2})

. Assume that the

2

-Selmer groups of

E

and

m a t h c a l E

are minimal. Let

n

be a positive square-free odd integer, where the prime factors of

n

are nonzero quadratic residues modulo each odd prime factor of

e_{1} e_{2} e_{3} a b c

. Then under certain conditions, the

2

-Selmer group and the Cassels pairing of the quadratic twist

E^{(n)}

coincide with those of

m a t h c a l E^{(n)}

. As a corollary,

E^{(n)}

has Mordell-Weil rank zero without order

4

element in its Shafarevich-Tate group, if and only if these holds for

m a t h c a l E^{(n)}

. We also give some applications for the congruent elliptic curve.
