Abstract

We describe theorems and computational methods for verifying the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for specific elliptic curves over Q. We apply our techniques to show that if E is a non-CM elliptic curve over Q of conductor ≤ 1000 and rank ≤ 1, then the full Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is true for E up to odd primes that divide either a Tamagawa number of E or the degree of some rational cyclic isogeny with domain E.

Lawson and Wuthrich's 2015 paper addresses a serious mistake in Lemma 5.4 of this paper.
