Abstract:

As a refinement of Goldfeld’s conjecture, there is a conjecture of Keating–Snaith asserting that logL(1/2,Ed) for certain quadratic twists Ed of an elliptic curve E behaves like a normal random variable. In light of this, Radziwill and Soundararajan conjectured that the distribution of log(|Sha(Ed)|/|d| is approximately Gaussian for these Ed, and proved that the conjectures of Keating–Snaith and theirs are both valid “from above”. More recently, under GRH, they further established a lower bound for the involving distribution towards Keating–Snaith’s conjecture. In this talk, we shall discuss the joint distribution of central values and orders of Sha groups of Ed and how to adapt Radziwill–Soundararajan’s methods to study upper bound and lower bounds for such a joint distribution if time allows.
