Conjectural estimates on the Mordell-Weil and Tate-Shafarevich groups of an abelian variety

Andrea Surroca Ortiz

Published 2008-01-07, updated 2020-01-14Version 2

We consider an abelian variety defined over a number field. We give conditional bounds for the order of its Tate-Shafarevich group, as well as conditional bounds for the N\'eron-Tate height of generators of its Mordell-Weil group. The bounds are implied by strong but nowadays classical conjectures, such as the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the functional equation of the L-series. In particular, we improve and generalise a result by D. Goldfeld and L. Szpiro on the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group, and extends a conjecture of S. Lang on the canonical height of a system of generators of the free part of the Mordell-Weil group. The method is an extension of the algorithm proposed by Yu. Manin for finding a basis for the non-torsion rational points of an elliptic curve defined over the rationals.

Comments: 38 pages. Submitted version. This version improves substantially, in many ways, the unpublished previous version arXiv:0801.1054. In particular, Masser's lower bound for non-torsion points is replaced by Bosser-Gaudron's lower bound. The analytic estimates on the L-function, as well as the part relying the Tamagawa numbers and the Faltings' height were also substantially modified
