We prove that if $E$ has non-split multiplicative reduction at at least one odd prime or split multiplicative reduction at at least two odd primes and if the rank of $E(\\mathbb{Q})$ is one and the Tate-Shafarevich group of $E$ has finite order, then $\\mathrm{ord}_{s=1}L(E,s)=1$. We also prove the corresponding result for the abelian variety associated with a weight two newform $f$ of trivial character. These, and other related results, are consequences of our main theorem, which establishes criteria for $f$ and $H^1_f(\\mathbb{Q},V)$, where $V$ is the $p$-adic Galois representation associated with $f$, that ensure that $\\mathrm{ord}_{s=1}L(f,s)=1$. The main theorem is proved using the Iwasawa theory of $V$ over an imaginary quadratic field to show that the $p$-adic logarithm of a suitable Heegner point is non-zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-05-28T16:10:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G40", "11R23", "11G05", "11G07" ], "keywords": [ "odd prime", "main theorem", "imaginary quadratic field", "non-split multiplicative reduction", "trivial character" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1405.7294S" } } }
