Extract

This paper is a contribution to the verification of conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer about elliptic curves (1). The evidence that they produce is largely derived from curves with complex multiplication by i. It is natural to consider other kinds of complex multiplications and here we shall make a start on the case when the ring of complex multiplications is isomorphic to the ring Z[σ], where σ2 = − 2.
