Number Theory Seminar: John Coates (Cambridge)

  • Date: 09/23/2010
Lecturer(s):
John Coates (University of Cambridge)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Arithmetic of elliptic curves

Description: 

I will begin by discussing some recent theoretical and numerical joint work with Liang and Sujatha on the Tate-Shafarevich group of elliptic curves over Q with complex multiplication and rank at least 2. In the latter part of the lecture, I will explain some rather wild general speculation which grew out of these computations.
