{ "item_title" : "Arithmetic on Modular Curves", "item_author" : [" G. Stevens "], "item_description" : "One of the most intriguing problems of modern number theory is to relate the arithmetic of abelian varieties to the special values of associated L-functions. A very precise conjecture has been formulated for elliptic curves by Birc and Swinnerton-Dyer and generalized to abelian varieties by Tate. The numerical evidence is quite encouraging. A weakened form of the conjectures has been verified for CM elliptic curves by Coates and Wiles, and recently strengthened by K. Rubin. But a general proof of the conjectures seems still to be a long way off. A few years ago, B. Mazur26] proved a weak analog of these c- jectures. Let N be prime, and be a weight two newform for r 0 (N) . For a primitive Dirichlet character X of conductor prime to N, let i\ f (X) denote the algebraic part of L (f, X, 1) (see below). Mazur showed in26] that the residue class of Af (X) modulo the Eisenstein ideal gives information about the arithmetic of Xo (N). There are two aspects to his work: congruence formulae for the values Af(X), and a descent argument. Mazur's congruence formulae were extended to r 1 (N), N prime, by S. Kamienny and the author17], and in a paper which will appear shortly, Kamienny has generalized the descent argument to this case.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/81/763/088/0817630880_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "54.99", "online_price" : "54.99", "our_price" : "54.99", "club_price" : "54.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
