The Birch–Swinnerton–Dyer Rank Problem: Reduction of the Analytic Rank Two Case
Abstract
This paper studies the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture for elliptic curves E defined over the rational number field Q. The central focus is the construction of a general structure arising from elliptic curves, followed by transformations that lead to a symmetry comparison between the analytic and algebraic sides. The results are established within the scope of the constructed structure and the specified symmetry-compatibility condition.
Define the analytic rank and algebraic rank, respectively, by
m = ord_(s=1) L(E,s)
r = rank E(Q).
The BSD rank conjecture asserts that
For every elliptic curve E/Q, ord_(s=1) L(E,s) = rank E(Q).
For analytic ranks zero and one, the paper presents the established results in BSD theory.
Case m = 0:
For every E/Q, m = 0 implies r = 0.
Case m = 1:
For every E/Q, m = 1 implies r = 1.
For the general construction, the paper introduces two complex vector spaces associated with the elliptic curve:
A_E = C{t} / (L(E,1+t))
V_E = E(Q) tensor_Z C.
Their dimensions are
dim_C A_E = m, dim_C V_E = r.
The paper examines the symmetry operations
tau([f(t)]) = [f(-t)]
iota(v) = -v
and considers whether a complex-linear isomorphism
Phi: A_E -> V_E
can satisfy the symmetry-compatibility condition
Phi o tau = iota o Phi.
The properties of these operations show that no such symmetry-compatible isomorphism exists when
m >= 1.
Thus, the paper describes the rank cases of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture that have been proved for elliptic curves over Q with analytic rank zero or one.
