Abstract: | We study 2-primary parts Ш(E(n)/Q)2∞] of Shafarevich-Tate groups of congruent elliptic curves E(n): y2 = x3?n2x, n ∈ Q×/Q×2. Previous results focused on finding sufficient conditions for Ш(E(n)/Q)2∞] trivial or isomorphic to (Z/2Z)2. Our first result gives necessary and sufficient conditions such that the 2-primary part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of E(n) is isomorphic to (Z/2Z)2 and the Mordell-Weil rank of E(n) is zero, provided that all prime divisors of n are congruent to 1 modulo 4. Our second result provides sufficient conditions for Ш(E(n)/Q)2∞] ? (Z/2Z)2k, where k ≥ 2. |
