摘要
The field K=Q((-7)(1/2)) is the only imaginary quadratic field with class number 1, in which the prime 2 splits, and we fix one of the primes p of K lying above 2. The modular elliptic curve X_0(49) has complex multiplication by the maximal order O of K, and we let E be the twist of X_0(49)by the quadratic extension K(M1/2)/K, where M is any square free element of O with M ≡1 mod 4 and(M, 7) = 1. In the present note, we use surprisingly simple algebraic arguments to prove a sharp estimate for the rank of the Mordell-Weil group modulo torsion of E over the field F_∞ = K(E_(p∞)),where E_(p∞) denotes the group of p~∞-division points on E. Moreover, writing B for the twist of X_0(49)by K((-7)(1/4))/K, our Iwasawa-theoretic arguments also show that the weak form of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer implies the non-vanishing at s = 1 of the complex L-series of B over every finite layer of the unique Z_2-extension of K unramified outside p. We hope to give a proof of this last non-vanishing assertion in a subsequent paper.
