ARBITRARILY LARGE p-TORSION in TATE-SHAFAREVICH GROUPS

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that, for any prime p, there exist absolutely simple abelian varieties over Q with arbitrarily large p-Torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups. To prove this, we construct explicit up-covers of Jacobians of curves of the form yp = x(x-1)(x-A) which violate the Hasse principle. In the appendix, Tom Fisher explains how to interpret our proof in terms of a Cassels-Tate pairing.
