Simon Spicer: Mathematical background: elliptic curves and L-functions
Day 1 of my Google Summer of Code project! I will try post updates at least once a week; I thought a good starting point would be to give an introduction to the mathematical objects that this project...
View ArticleSimon Spicer: How to compute with elliptic curve L-functions and estimate...
In a previous post I defined what an elliptic curve $L$-function $L_E(s)$ is, and indicated why the behaviour of the function at the central point $s=1$ is of such great interest: the order of...

Simon Spicer: The explicit formula and bounding analytic rank from above
Wednesday's post gave some detail on how one can numerically evaluate $L_E(s)$, the $L$-function attached to $E$, at any given complex input $s$. This is certainly the first step in determining the...

Simon Spicer: Fun with elliptic curve L-function explicit formulae
Although I gave a brief exposition of the "baseline" explicit formula for the elliptic curve $L$-functions in a previous post, I wanted to spend some more time showing how one can use this formula to...
