Analytic ranks of elliptic curves over cyclotomic fields. (English) Zbl 1028.11040

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over \(\mathbb Q\) and let \(L(s,E,\chi)\) denote the \(L\)-function of \(E\) twisted by a primitive Dirichlet character \(\chi\). Let \(K_q\) denote the cyclotomic extension of \(\mathbb Q\) obtained by adjoining the \(q\)th roots of unity. The author defines the analytic rank of \(E(K_q)\) to be \[ \text{ord}_{s=1/2} \left( \prod_{\chi \pmod{q}} L(s,E,\chi) \right). \] Extending techniques of D. E. Rohrlich [Sémin. Théor. Nombres, Univ. Bordeaux I, 1983-1984, Exp. No. 14 (1984; Zbl 0565.14007)] the author proves:
Theorem 1. Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over \(\mathbb Q\) of conductor \(N\). For any \(\varepsilon > 0\) and \(q\) a sufficiently large prime (in terms of \(N\) and \(\varepsilon\)), \[ \text{analytic rank of }E(K_q) < q^{7/8+\varepsilon}. \] The author also defines \(\eta(p)\) to be the smallest \(k\geq 0\) such that \(L(1/2,E,\chi) \neq 0\) for all primitive Dirichlet characters of conductor \(p^j\) with \(j>k\) and proves
Theorem 2. Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over \(\mathbb Q\). Then \[ \eta(p) \ll_{E} 1. \]
