Relating the Tate–Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve with the class group

Dipendra Prasad and Sudhanshu Shekhar

Vol. 312 (2021), No. 1, 203–218
Abstract

The paper formulates a precise relationship between the Tate–Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve E over with a quotient of the class group of (E[p]) on which Gal((E[p])) = GL2(p) operates by its standard 2-dimensional representation over p. We establish such a relationship in many cases.
